October 11th, 2013 (F1Plus / Chris Cameron-Dow) - Tributes have been pouring in for Maria de Villota since the news of her death broke this morning. One such tribute came from Ferrari ace Fernando Alonso who said:
"It's hard to talk about Maria de Villota right now, as I had only just taken my helmet off, when I was told about her death and at the moment, I still can't believe it and need a while to stop and think about it. Of course, it's very sad news for the world of motorsport as Maria was loved by everyone. Now, all we can do is pray for her and for her family."
There are far too many tributes that have been released to put them all in one article, but here are some of the thoughts that have been expressed by people inside Formula 1:
Monisha Kaltenborn, Sauber team principal: "We are shocked to hear the news of María de Villota's death and would like to offer our sincerest condolences and heartfelt sympathy to her family and friends for this tragic loss. If anybody represented strength and optimism, it was María. Her sudden death is a big loss to the motorsport world as she was an important ambassador for relaying important messages to the youth, and particularly girls that aspire to a career in motorsport. María was an example of someone who never gave up, she always had a smile on her face and we will dearly miss her."
Martin Whitmarsh, McLaren team principal: "The entire F1 community is very shocked by the news that Maria is no longer with us. She was an inspiration not just to women in this sport, but also to all those who suffered life-threatening injuries. Her story, determination and subsequent inspiration flowed from F1 through sport as a whole, and to see the images of her in Barcelona on the grid earlier this year, surrounded by a throng of jubilant children, told a great story. Maria participated in the Manhattan Fans' Forum on behalf of her team, Marussia F1, last year, and made a lasting impression on the fans who attended. She will be sadly missed, and we wish to pass on our sincere condolences to her family."
FIA President Jean Todt said, "Today is a tragic day for motor sport. My deepest condolences go to the de Villota family. María was a fantastic driver, a leading light for women in motor sport and a tireless campaigner for road safety.
"Above all she was a friend I deeply admired," he added. "Through her courage, strength and determination she transformed her personal misfortune on the track into a powerful message for road safety that was heard at race tracks and beyond around the world. María was a beloved member of the FIA family. Our thoughts go to her family today."

Should you buy organic or not? It's a question that has been confusing consumers for years. Is eating organic really healthier? Is it better for you? Does organic offer any benefits over conventionally grown fruits, vegetables and cereals?
One team of scientists thinks it has some answers for you. If you want significantly more antioxidants and fewer pesticides and toxic metals, they say buy organic.
Dr. Carlo Leifert, professor of ecological agriculture at England's Newcastle University, is lead author of a peer-reviewed study released this week in the British Journal of Nutrition. The largest effort of its kind, the study reviewed 343 other peer-reviewed studies to analyze the compositional differences between conventionally grown vegetables, fruit and cereals and their organic counterparts.
"It shows very clearly how you grow your food has an impact," Dr. Leifert told The New York Times. "If you buy organic fruits and vegetables, you can be sure you have, on average, a higher amount of antioxidants at the same calorie level."
In fact, says the study, you'll get up to 69 percent more key antioxidants with organic food than with non-organic. According to the study, antioxidants "have previously been linked to a reduced risk of chronic diseases, including cardiovascular diseases, neurodegenerative diseases and certain cancers."
One explanation for the higher level of antioxidants is that they function, in part, as nature's pesticide, giving organically grown plants a defense system against insects that would like to invade and eat them.
Organic foods give you 17 percent more antioxidants overall than in conventionally grown produce, concluded this study. The benefit this confers is roughly equivalent to eating one to two additional servings of fruits and veggies each day, the study found.
Additional findings include the following:
"The organic vs non-organic debate has rumbled on for decades now but the evidence from this study is overwhelming – that organic food is high in antioxidants and lower in toxic metals and pesticides," Dr. Leifert noted in a press release.
But Does Organic = Healthier?
It's important to note here that this study does not suggest that eating organically means you will be healthier.
"We are not making health claims based on this study, because we can't," Dr. Leifert told The New York Times. His study doesn't prove "organic food is definitely healthier for you, and it doesn't tell you anything about how much of a health impact switching to organic food could have."
Nevertheless, the findings may cause you to wonder whether the demonstrated differences between organic and inorganic will one day be shown to affect their overall nutritional value as well.
Not Everyone is Convinced
As with any study about a divisive issue, experts agree to disagree.
Tom Sanders, a professor of nutrition at King's College London, told The Guardian he thought Prof. Liefert was "oversexing" the results of this study just a little.
"You are not going to be better nourished if you eat organic food," he added. "What is most important is what you eat, not whether it's organic or conventional. It's whether you eat fruit and vegetables at all. People are buying into a lifestyle system. They get an assurance it is not being grown with chemicals and is not grown by big business."
He acknowledged the differences the study highlighted, but added, "[T]he question is are they within natural variation? And are they nutritionally relevant? I am not convinced."
Some previous studies, such as those conducted by Stanford University in 2012 and the United Kingdom Food Standards Agency in 2009, have determined that organic vegetables, fruits and grains are "no more nutritious" than conventionally grown crops. Conversely, other studies have shown, for example, that organic strawberries contain more Vitamin C than non-organic ones.
Conflicting research results contribute to the continuing customer confusion in the produce section of your local supermarket. No one seems to have a really good grasp of whether the more expensive organic produce is worth paying for. This study does not provide the definitive answer, either.
Remember, though, that this study makes no claim of increased nutrition. It says merely that all the evidence aggregated together and carefully examined shows that there is a demonstrable difference between the makeup of organic foods and non-organic – notably, more antioxidants and fewer chemicals in organic fare.
That's useful information. For some, it may be more than enough to justify buying organic food whenever possible.
Dr. Liefert wants his study to spur others on to further research in this area.
"We have shown without doubt there are composition differences between organic and conventional crops, now there is an urgent need to carry out well-controlled human dietary intervention and cohort studies specifically designed to identify and quantify the health impacts of switching to organic food," said Dr. Liefert.
Those who want to make these comparisons for themselves will have access to everything the team used. The complete database they employed for this analysis will be posted on the Newcastle University's website so others may use it to further this research or confirm for themselves the findings of the team.

It's all in the mind of course
Thanks for the article.
Thank you for sharing!
The organic foods are in stores in some little corner, so not easy to find, but once you find it you always find it. Animals tell what to do. I gave my cat with food cucumber sliced with cheese slicer. But he didn't eat any other cucumber than organic. when the cat was on my yard in leed people saw the food I gave they asked if they can move in as a cat.
Thanks for the article.
There are certain organic foods that we all should be eating. We have known for quite some time that some foods contain dangerous amounts of pesticides and we need to avoid them.
If I buy organic bananas,tomatoes etc then I know the workers and their families don´t get poisoned and sick from any chemicals used .
That´s good enough for me to chose organic food.

A foreign national has to first become a US citizen before they can join the US military. Picture; Wu Xin, originally from Guilin in China's Guanxi province, pledges the Oath of Allegiance to become a US navy soldier on USS Ronald Reagan in 2008. (File Photo/CNS)
A Chinese national living in Temple city, California, was arrested Tuesday (Apr. 12) for allegedly creating a false Army special forces unit, providing recruits with false documents and uniforms and even marching with them in a parade, authorities said.
Yupeng Deng, 51, also known as David Deng, named himself the "supreme commander" of the "US Army/ Military Special Forces Reserve," said prosecutors who charged that Deng's group was actually a huge immigration scam that preyed on Chinese immigrants in the San Gabriel Valley desperate to become citizens.
Charged with 13 counts of theft by false pretenses, manufacturing deceptive government documents and counterfeit of an official government seal, he faces a maximum of more than 11 years in state prison if convicted.
Two Asian-American politicians, Mike Eng and his wife, Judy Chu, appeared in pictures with one branch of the fake army group, authorities said.
While prosecutors said they found evidence of more than 100 recruits, some in the Chinese American community said there appeared to be several branches of the "special forces reserve" with up to 800 members.
Each recruit was charged US$300 to US$450 to join plus an annual US$120 renewal fee. In exchange for the fees Deng told his group members that he would assist them in becoming US citizens.
Mostly originating from the Los Angeles area, the recruits were provided with phoney US Army uniforms, fake documents and fraudulent military identification cards, authorities said.
Having actually visited real Army recruiting centers, some of the recruits were convinced that they had been officially enlisted in the US military, said FBI spokeswoman Laura Eimiller.
When the recruits appeared in public, they wore green uniforms and carried various military flags, prosecutors said, adding they were also seen doing drills with mock weapons.
According to the Los Angeles Times, some local officials had noticed there was always something off about the group. "Their uniforms didn't fit them. They didn't shine their boots," said Joaquin Lim, a city councilman from Walnut. "They even had typos and misspellings on their ID cards. They were a disgrace to the Army."
California Assembly member Mike Eng was spotted pictured in what was believed to be the sixth anniversary celebration for one branch of the group. He appeared with his wife, US Representative Judy Chu and other dignitaries, prosecutors said.
"If we are invited by a group to a celebration or festival, we do participate. We don't do a background check on everybody," Eng said. "My heart goes out to the immigrants who, because of their limited English, became victims to these scams."

Nathanwrote a review of Six Six One Evo Carbon Camber Helmet on October 13, 2013
MTB, not Moto-X
Familiarity: I've used it several times
I hate having things on my head. I would ride w/ no helmet if it weren't asking for brain damage. I love the Evo because I can almost forget I'm wearing a helmet. It's light and unobtrusive. You really notice when turning your head from side to side. You don't feel the "swing" you do with other helmets. It also vents extremely well. It does all of this because it is built like a mountain bike helmet. Other high-end helmets I've owned or compared are far more like my motorcycle helmet; lots of cushy insulation, thick protective shell, etc. Those other helmets are probably marginally safer in a crash. But, I plan to spend a lot more time riding than I do crashing. And the Evo would probably be a single-crash helmet -- wreck and replace. If you're the kind of rider looking for a helmet "in case" you crash, buy the Evo Carbon Camber. If you're a rider looking for a helmet "because you will" crash, maybe stick with a TLD D3. Fitment is good, maybe a tad big. I wear a large D3, and a medium in older 661 helmets. I ordered a medium in the Evo Camber. I'm happy with the fit, but it could be just a smidge tighter. If you're between sizes, definitely go smaller. My only knock on this helmet is the carbon lay-up. It could be done better. There is an obvious seam along the center line of the helmet and where the chin guard connects. You can't see it from 2 feet away, but carbon is meant to be oogled over. I have to subtract a star for that reason only. Otherwise, the finish is fantastic. The fully removable liner is really nice, too. No matter how breathable, you're still gonna sweat. I paid over $200 for my Evo. It was a great deal then. It's a no-brainer at the current price!

An EASY Mediterranean Weekend Lunch
When I was growing up I thought that twenty-four hours was the perfect length for a day. With age, this has changed: I'd now like thirty-six at least so that, among other things, I'd have more time to cook delicious things which take ages to prepare. As it is, I am your typical time-poor, full-time, professional woman with limited stamina and a pile of ironing that I'm never quite on top of. In spite of this, I'm ready meal-averse so at the end of most workdays, I cook. Sometimes I get so tired that by the end of it, I have no energy left to eat. Ironic, I know, but apparently quite common among my ilk.
Roll on the weekend – that blissful ideal of rest over two whole days, which seldom happens by the time housework, paperwork, special occasions and familial duties are taken into account. For just those times when hunger pangs hit but there's little time to spare, I've got just the thing: a quick and easy lunch that can be thrown together in a jiffy.
Fill a bowl with cherry tomatoes cut in half, cubes of feta cheese, plenty of chopped parsley, a drizzle of olive oil and lemon juice to taste. Toss and spoon onto your plate. Leftovers can be added to another meal later. Put slices of mozzarella onto slices of beef tomato, season and heat in the oven until just melted (just a few minutes at 150C). Add a few of these to the plate and garnish each with a basil leaf. That's the hard part. Now just add anything vaguely Mediterranean you might have to your lunch: slices of prosciutto or salami, a handful of olives, some lettuce leaves topped with emergency artichokes (from the jar that dwells in the pantry) – their preserving juice creates an immediate dressing so no vinaigrette-concocting required.
For the above example I grabbed some herby ciabatta from our local deli and warmed it through while I was heating the tomatoes. Other additions might include marinated anchovies, leftover grilled vegetables, a spoonful of couscous drizzled with lime juice and coriander, a few slices of grilled halloumi tossed in lemon juice and parsley, marinated peppers, some burrata (if you're lucky enough to have it in the fridge) sprinkled with a handful of sliced green grapes.
One last point: if you have visitors and don't want to spend too much time wearing your trusty oven gloves, just set out all of the Mediterranean foods that you have to hand, give them each a plate and tell them to help themselves, buffet-style. Couldn't be easier! This is a seriously low-maintenance lunch that's tasty, healthy and just as easy to make for a crowd as it is for one person.
If you have guests and want to show that some sort of effort was made in the feeding of them, you can even tailor this lunch to a specific Mediterranean country with a minimum of hassle. For instance, if you want to put the emphasis on things Italian, drinks might include San Pellegrino with a slice of lemon, prosecco, a glass of Pinot Grigio or a chilled Nastro Azzuro. Don't fuss over dessert: just put out some fresh fruit or have a scoop of gelato. A really snazzy ice cream trick is to serve lemon gelato with a shot of limoncello poured over the top, but don't plan on finishing the laundry afterwards! It works just as well with strawberry gelato and fragolino… divinISSimo! Finish with espresso. If you have a machine, all well and good, but if not, there are some really good instant espresso grounds on the market nowadays – trust me, I'm über- fussy about my coffee. Serve it with a bacio or two and get everyone to read out the love messages wrapped inside. Now, that's what I call la dolce vita.
Buon appetito a tutti!

I've been a fan of Vancouver songstress Hannah Georgas for years now, but it's been her latest self-titled album that's pushed my love over the edge. Evolving from acoustic singer/songwriter to fusing electronic elements (c/o producer Graham Walsh from Canadian electro superstars Holy Fuck) with her honest vocals, Hannah has become a force to reckon with in the Canadian music scene. This year, she was nominated for multiple Juno Awards (including Alternative Album of the Year and Songwriter of the Year), and her most recent album is long-listed for the Polaris Music Prize — all incredibly deservedly so.
I had the pleasure of seeing Hannah perform at the Canada Blast BBQ at SXSW in March, and can't wait to see her perform on the Galaxie Tree Stage on Sunday, August 4 (set time is 4:40!). If you can't get to Osheaga, you can see Hannah perform at the following gigs:

10-2-13 Update.
The check test produced again for September. Our goal was 120 new patients, which is at least 10 more than we have ever had. We had 124 new patients for the month. The check test works. Give it a try.
You are losing money every month. New patients who could become part of your practice are slipping through the cracks simply because your staff is not fully engaged. New patients are the lifeblood to any practice. Without a steady stream of new patients, a practice will wither and die.
There is a very simple test you can use with your staff to compare your new patient ceiling to your current monthly new patient average. This is called the check test.
I ran this test last month for my office and was very surprised by the results. My average monthly new patient total is 76. I am a solo practitioner with two podiatrists. Each podiatrist works one half-day per week for me as independent contractors.
You must know your monthly new patient average. You can easily calculate this by taking the total number of new patients for one year and dividing that number by 12. Once you have the new patient monthly average, you also must know your average new patient value. Calculate this by dividing one year's total collections by one year's total number of new patients. This is a back end value for the new patients and the easiest way to figure the value of each new patient that enters your door.
Once you have these two pieces of information, you should pick a new patient goal that is well above your average. For my practice, I made a goal to bring in 90 new patients in August. After you decide your goal, decide on a bonus amount to give each staff member should you reach your goal. This should be based on the value of each new patient and the additional revenue that will be generated.
For example, let us pretend your average new patient total every month is 50 and the goal is 75. If the value for each new patient is $1,000, the additional practice revenue would be $25,000 for the month if you reach your goal. You should then figure out a comfortable bonus amount that would excite your staff.
I have six staff members currently working in my practice and I decided their bonus amount would be $200 each if we reached 90 new patients for August. The key to the test is to give each employee a bonus check at the first of the month that is dated the first of the month. The agreement with the staff is that they may cash the check the minute you reach the new patient goal for the month. If you hit the goal on the 20th of the month, they cash the check then. If it is the 31st, they cash the check then. If you do not reach the new patient goal for the month, they must return the checks to you at the end of the month. They must carry the check around with them or look at it every day on their desk. Seeing it consistently motivates them to reach your goal.
If you have five employees and decided the bonus would be $250 for each employee, your cost would be $1,250 if you reach your goal. The $25,000 profit minus the $1,250 bonus expense yields a net profit of $23,750.
The results of my check test were as follows:
• Average new patients monthly: 76
• New patient goal for the month: 90
• Actual number of new patients seen: 100
We blew our goal out of the water. What does this all mean? It will help you establish a new patient ceiling for your practice in what is your most important metric. Your staff will be fully engaged in new patient numbers and find spots for them on the schedule where there were previously no openings. They will help generate more new patients by marketing your practice. This becomes the ultimate win-win situation for you and your staff. I have really challenged my staff for September with a goal of 120 new patients and a bonus of $300 each. Will we reach it? I don't know but I do know each one of my employees is actively engaged in trying to reach it. Give the check test a try and comment below on your outcome. My readers and I would like to hear your results.

text: I'd say that my favorite cosplay was Freya like it is for most of the people because it's just really spot on, really detailed and Freya is actually pretty hard, maybe not the hardest or one of the hardest but it's still kinda hard to do it with all the details, especially the tatoos. I also think that a lot of the other cosplays were really good, like Nu Wa's, Isis', Nemesis' and Light Stance Hel which were all pretty close to their in-game model. The poolseidon's were also pretty good and hilarious at the same time. Hoping to get dat silver/purple horse! Good luck to everyone anyways!

So when fueling your body for tough competition, drop the Cheetos and Doritos and pick up a different orange snackthe fruit. An orange has only 70 calories and a full dose of vitamin C, undoubtedly making it a healthier choice. But that's not the only reason to snack on oranges and other fruits and veggies. Besides helping you reach your recommended daily intake of two and a half cups of fruit and three to four cups of veggies, foods likes apples, watermelon and cucumbers have a high water content. Eating such foods as part of a healthy sports diet can help you meet about 20 percent of your daily fluid needs, according to Tracy Siravo, MS, RD, Intrinsic CoachTM and sports nutritionist for the MLS's FC Dallas. What's more, according to Siravo, "foods with a high water content can add volume to your diet and promote a feeling of fullness, without adding too many extra calories." Choose from the following list of H20-loaded foods to avoid feeling weak, lightheaded or tiredall signs of dehydration. Apples Apricots Bell peppers Broccoli Carrots Celery Cherries Citrus fruits (e.g., oranges, tangerines and grapefruit) Cucumbers Grapes Lettuce Pineapple Squash Strawberries Tomatoes Watermelon

More tolerance from the religion of peace, in Malaysia.
Kuala Lumpur AsiaNews-Agencies – Malaysian authorities have banned an ethnic Indian group that, in the past, has repeatedly promoted campaigns on behalf of human rights for minorities. Government officials have declared the Hindu Rights Action Force (Hindraf) illegal because it threatens "social stability in the country."
Interior minister Syed Hamid Albar has declared that the association is "an illegal group," effective immediately, because it is "harmful" for public order, peace, security, and morality. The minister says that Hindraf has been responsible in the past for repeated "unauthorized demonstrations," and has damaged the image of Malaysia by calling for "international support for its activities." He also specifies that the group "was not even registered," and constitutes a threat "to the fragile relations between the Muslim majority in the country and the Chinese and Indian ethnic minorities."
Leaders of the Hindu movement have replied curtly by defending their "peaceful struggle against discrimination toward the Indian minority," and say they have never "broken the law or committed crimes."
Now, this obviously does not impact us directly, but if we observe the pattern, the increasing curtailment of the rights of non-muslims in muslim countries, you get a pretty good picture of where we are headed, if we do not right the ship and deport every single muslim immigrant who wants shariah law in the United States back to whichever shariah shithole they came from.

Most of us, when confronted by another person with a position that we totally disagree with, will start arguing about the veracity of that position. The problem with this approach, or more to the point, reaction, is that it leads to an argument. The reality is that when you starting pushing, people push back. The more you argue, the more they are forced into proving they are right.
So how do you overcome this natural tendency to try to prove you are right? One way is to have a playbook that gives you a way of disagreeing without being confrontational and also gives you time to think. Roger Dawson, a master negotiator, author and trainer has come up with a basic formula: "feel, felt, found".
Assume someone says something we often hear in legal negotiations and mediations: "That is a ridiculous and insulting offer." Armed with Dawson's "feel, felt, found" formula, you can respond as follows:
1. FEEL: "Please help me understand why you feel that way." Or "I understand how you would feel that way."
2. FELT: "I (and others) have been in your position, have often felt that way too."
3. FOUND: "And, what I have found is that taking a step back and discussing why this is so insulting often opens the door to other possibilities that might satisfy your interests."
The bottom line: Instead of arguing, get into the habit of agreeing with them and then turning it around.

Sault Ste. Marie drinking water update
ews Release
For immediate release
November 9, 2011
During the recent conversion of the water disinfection method used by the PUC, some of the public have experienced taste and odour in the drinking water.
Initially, to aid in the process, the remedy was to flush the water from household plumbing and the distribution system. Now that the conversion process is complete, flushing may not remove the odour or change the taste.
Here are two suggestions if you are experiencing odour or taste in the water.
• Fill a clean pitcher with tap water and allow it to sit overnight in the fridge.
• Use an activated charcoal filter such as a filter jug. (ie. Brita, PUR)
Over the next few weeks the chlorine levels in the water will be reduced until ideal chlorine concentrations are met. The lowered chlorine levels will result in a significant improvement in the taste and odour.
The water remains safe to drink and bacteria and chlorine levels are continuously being monitored. The goal is to have the least amount of chlorine added that will maintain safe water.
For more information about the process please visit the PUC website at

Being in a "safe place" at the start of the round means leaving the rest of your team to die, unless you're hitting more than 50% of your rails while firing them off very rapidly. If you're going off to some random place to camp you are dividing and conquering your team for your enemy, allowing them to focus fire your mates and pick them off one by one without any fear of getting backstabbed by you.
And yeah, the game is pretty different on tier 4 than it is on tier 3. Something I observe uptiering T3 players often doing is rocket jumping toward enemies and giving them a free LG lift to instant death. Another is that when they gain the upper hand on the designated gathering point and push the opponents off they don't take the rest of the map to gain freedom of movement and flanking. They just stay on bridge/whatever all round while the enemy team rains rockets and rails down on them, and they die, and they lose.
And yes, my ego is legendary. Fear it.

The Italian ocean vessel classification society RINA recently concluded a major study which concluded that floating storage terminals for liquefied natural gas are feasible and economically viable.
The study was conducted as part of the AZURE project, a European Commission program aimed at demonstrating the technical and economic feasibility of a full floating LNG chain. The project probed the concepts of floating production, storage, and offloading vessels and floating storage and regasification units (FSRU) for LNG.
RINA completed the preliminary safety analysis for the FSRU and the sloshing, offloading, and related hydrodynamic aspects. RINA also was in charge of the precertification of the FSRU design.
The AZURE project is being managed by Bouygues Offshore. Partners in the project, besides RINA, include Fincatieri; Chantiers de l'Atlantique; Bureau Veritas; M.W. Kellogg Ltd.; Gaz Transport et Technigaz; FMC Europe; and IRCN, the Insitute de Recherches de la Construction Navale.

The Hamburg Philharmonic State Orchestra has been making music in Hamburg for more than 175 years (officially founded on 9th November 1828). Today the Philharmonic Orchestra, run by the City of Hamburg, plays at almost all the opera and ballet evenings and also gives the philharmonic concerts held in the Laeiszhalle.
The breadth of styles covered by the 130 full-time musicians has no equal in Germany. Since August 2005 Australian conductor Simone Young has been Hamburg's Principal Musical Director. As well as modern composers, such as Oliver Messiaen, Tristan Murail, Henri Dutilleux, Tan Dun and Brett Dean, major works from the classic-romantic repertoire can also be enjoyed. Simone Young integrates the concert programme with the opera programme. In this way the works of Benjamin Britten and Paul Hindemith are performed in Dammtorstrasse as well as in the Laeiszhalle – a central theme running like a thread through a diverse, exciting programme.
Annual tours and guest performances enhance the reputation of the Philharmonic State Orchestra abroad, too. In this way, in February 2003, the Orchestra toured Belgium, France, Greece, Austria and from one end of Germany to the other, and was the guest at numerous, renowned festivals such as the Lucerne Festival, the MusikTriennale in Cologne, and the BBC Proms in August 2004. In June 2005 the orchestra performed Alban Berg's works "Lulu" and "Wozzeck" at the "Holland Festival" in Amsterdam as part of a guest performance of the Hamburg State Opera.

TUCSON (KGUN9-TV) - Britney Spears fans will be glad to know that she's back on stage, but not without controversy.
Britney opened her show at Planet Hollywood in Las Vegas to a full house, but the LA Times is reporting that "Brit" appeared to be lip-syncing again-- they say for a majority of the performance.
Either way, the music and the dancing was good.
Britney is reportedly being paid about $30 million over 2-years, which works out to about $300,000 per show. And while the first night was sold out, ticket sales for future shows are reportedly, "disastrous," according to the New York Daily News.
I'm Stella Inger. I hope you'll join Guy Atchley and me tonight at 5, 6 and 10. You can join the conversation, do so at kgun9.com, Facebook or Twitter.
Have a great day and a very Happy New Year!

This free one-hour video program from the Firefighters Support Foundation familiarizes public safety personnel about: how to recognize a lab if you are approaching one or are in one and more.
The most important thing to keep in mind right now. This is the current trend and methamphetamine lapses this. Lab seizures are increasing and almost every state in the United States. The ingredients -- readily available. Recipes or on the Internet -- shared by methamphetamine -- and methamphetamine use is on the rise. Now let's talk a little bit about what methamphetamine. Is. And the effects that it has -- on a human being both physically. And psychologically. A good definition of methamphetamine is this is that it is -- synthetic stimulant drug which induces a strong feeling of euphoria. And this highly psychologically. And physically addictive. Pure methamphetamine. Is a colorless crystalline solid. And is sold on the street as ice collapse -- crystal. It is also sold as a less pure crystalline powder called crank. Speed.

The Aarhus Festival needed a new logo as the present logo from 2005 was outdated. In addition, the original logo was devised on the basis of the central element of the Danish letter 'Å' - this being the first letter in 'Århus'. But as from 2011, the Aarhus Festival exchanged the 'Å' for an 'Aa' in consequence of the now officially adopted Danish spelling of 'Aarhus'.

This is not the issue of Sports Illustrated I look forward to. (Nor is the swimsuit thing, which covers all the interesting parts.) It is, however, nearer to my heart than any of them, and at the same time, the most tearful one. This is the SI that says its farewell to so many athletes, coaches, men who ran the games, and men and women who left their marks on their sport.And each year it seems that the grim reaper brings down more than the year before. Just a week or so ago we bade farewell to a pitcher who was more than a pitcher, but a patriot who sacrificed the heart of his career to fight a war. And I recall times I have spent with so many of them, in this case, Bob Feller, who was representing a lotion that helped your hair tell its lie. I pride the moment when Ernie Harwell and I walked side by side into the National Sportscasters and Sportswriters Hall of Fame. Just the other week I wrote of Don Meredith, and how he simply walked off a driving range for chosen oblivion. Robin Roberts and I crossed paths our final time, serving on a Baseball Hall of Fame veterans committee. Just a year ago, and he is gone. I've long insisted that the worst bowl game I ever saw was played at the old Polo Grounds in New York, Utah State and Baylor in a disaster called the Gotham Bowl. One of Utah State's tackles was Merlin Olsen, later a Los Angeles Ram and a folksy television star. I never met Ron Santo, Cubs third baseman and later broadcaster, but for years I checked his name on my Hall of Fame ballot. Unhappily, he never made it. It was a cheat. Few Americans ever realized that John Wooden was a three-time All-American guard at Purdue, and that was alright with him. He left his mark on the men he coached, and through a set of principles which he published and made his trademark. (And I was lucky enough to serve on one of his committees.) The most famous PA announcer of them all, Bob Sheppard, sat with me for a column, and later sent a tape of his work. His elegant voice was like a soothing syrup. And in Moscow, several years ago, where he served as Spain's ambassador to the Soviet Union, Juan Antonio Samaranch, the Olympian, had the time to sit for a column. George Steinbrenner, baseball's ambassador to Gotham, shared time with me in his box at Tampa Bay Downs. Bill Dudley was long past his prime as a Hall of Fame running back, but we shared times over dinner. Bobby Thomson needs no introduction anywhere in America where baseball is spoken, and there was no trace of holyism in the man who hit the home run never to be forgotten. Sparky Anderson, no elocutionist he, was never too busy for any guy out of town when he managed the Reds or the Tigers. I never knew Don Coryell, but I liked what I heard, and grump a lot that he never made the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Never is there a passing year that SI doesn't celebrate a lineup of sports people who left more than a score or an imprint on their game, or those people they passed in the execution of duty. Thus, Sports Illustrated takes our hand and we say our farewell to those who gave us time and friendship. And in many cases a subject for another day's work. Furman Bisher is one of the deans of American sports writing. The longtime Atlanta sports journalist is a member of the Georgia and Atlanta Sports Halls of Fame and in addition to his newspaper writing has authored multiple books on major figures like Hank Aaron and Arnold Palmer. He writes periodic columns for the Daily Post.

(Jefferson City) (AP) – The new year is bringing a dime increase for Missouri's minimum wage and the end of an open records law exemption that has shielded from disclosure security systems and structural plans for buildings and polices for responding to terrorism.
Starting Wednesday, workers in Missouri will be paid at least $7.35 an hour, an increase above the federal rate of $7.25 because of inflation. A 2006 voter-approved law increased the minimum wage and included an annual cost of living adjustment.
The minimum wage also is increasing in nine other states, according to the National Employment Law Project. Advocates estimate Missouri's minimum wage increase could directly affect 72,000 people and indirectly affect 7,000.
Business groups said Missouri needs to rethink automatically increasing the minimum wage based upon inflation because it makes it harder to compete with neighboring states.
Another change taking hold with the start of 2013 could allow access to some records that governmental agencies previously were permitted to close.
Two exemptions to Missouri's open records law, frequently called the Sunshine Law, expire at the end of 2012. One covers the operational guidelines and policies developed by law enforcement, public safety, first response or public health authorities for preventing and responding to terrorism incidents. The other deals with security systems and structural plans of property that's owned or leased by a government agency.
But the change could be short-lived. Legislation has been proposed to extend the Sunshine Law exemptions through 2016. Jean Maneke, an attorney for the Missouri Press Association, said there has been work to adjust the exemptions to improve the definitions and make them more precise and narrow.

League of Legends developer Riot Games is bringing the fun Down Under, with the announcement of Riot Games Sydney. The new offices will feature teams in "marketing, esports and community", and promises to support the growing League of Legends community in the Oceania region.
Tamikya Van Der Wel, ESL Australia's Community Manager for League of Legends tipped us off, with a tweet pointing to the official announcement:
Riot Games Sydney is official. Known for its beaches, opera house, sports scene and friendly-looking marsupials, we're excited to introduce a little bit of riotousness to Australia's biggest city.
The Sydney studio joins locations in the U.S., Ireland, South Korea, Brazil, Turkey and Russia - and is currently hiring for a regional Community Manager and an eSports Coordinator.
The new location and staff will work hard to create unique experiences for gamers - both on the web and on the ground - and while the initial announcement is brief, we're reassured that Riot Games Sydney is just getting started, and will have plenty more to share very soon.
[…] Thanks, PlayerAttack. […]
[…] launching up against one major competitor, League of Legends, which already has a well-established Sydneyside server presence. For a competitive launch, it makes sense for Blizzard to be well-armed. Why not check out our […]
I like video games and music and cups of tea and noodles and beagles and colour-cycling LEDs.

The best First Class in the air is probably on Emirates planes where they offer private suites in First Class. They come fully equipped with individual storage, a coat closet, vanity desk and personal mini bar. The extra-large seat reclines to become a fully flat bed, and the 23″ wide-screen LCD screen with 600 channels of entertainment. It's more like a train compartment with a real door you can shut.
Although it won't be officially open to the public until 2011, you can take a sneak peak inside James Turrell's Roden Crater in this Flickr set by San Francisco designer Heidi Pollock. Apparently getting into the giant earthwork piece, which Turrell has been working on since the 1970s, has become the hottest ticket in the artworld. Read more stories of how others have sneaked in.
If you've got a big enough crew, it really only takes a couple of minutes to do up a train right.
