We then went on a crazy tangent search for what seemed like isolated technologies, and we'd imagine them combined with another. [pseudoscience is fun!]For example, on TED we'd see lasers made into moving 3D holograms from a group of scientists at a university in Japan or something and then we would find an American who designed a phone that is a light projector that reacts to your motion. So you press at the numbers on a wall, or on your palm, or whatever surface it is projected upon and the device knows what your doing. Now with those two ideas combined, Can't they make holographic porn that reacts to touch with an IA? All they gotta do is discuss the ideas, crunch some numbers and get a crazy rich guy to fund it, right?Holodeck, here we come!

Infographics showing the distribution of the Roman Catholic population in the world, where it has risen and fallen in recent years.
Scooped by
Seth Dixon
onto Geography Education
This is a distribution map, showing how Catholicism is spread throughout the world. It is a choropleth map and a bar graph on the side.
Pope Francis is not only the first Jesuit Pope, but the first from the Americas. Born in Buenos Aires, the Pope represents the immense Catholic population in Latin America.
It makes sense that Europe has one of the highest rates of Catholicism in the world because Christianity originated in Europe. Also, I believe that it makes sense that more than half of the Catholic population spread southward along the prime meridian to Africa. However, I don't understand how when Catholicism spread overseas, it didn't go to North America before it went to Latin America. So I did some research on that and Catholicism actually spread to the caribbean which is southeast of the United States and it spread mostly towards South America rather than up to North America. However, that doesn't explain why South America has a higher Catholic percentage than Europe. All I know is that Europe use to have a higher percentage of Catholics over Latin America about a century ago but now, Latin America has more Catholics.

After the Internet imploded a little bit due to Grimes' perfect video for "Oblivion", we thought the next one could hardly be just as good. But now that the video has gone viral for "Nightmusic", Claire Boucher's embodiment of otherworldly characters to her equally as otherworldly and arcane sound — she has people talking once again.
She starts off almost angelic (in the darkest way, of course), mystic, and haunting — the cross-dissolves make her even more elusive than usual. Grimes plays the part of an earthly imp that sprouted from the dirt and has taken over Mother Nature's position, and is playing some weird voodoo with her two naked playthings.
The follow-up clip is taken from the ever-successful Visions, and sets the benchmark for whatever 'night music' actually is. The vid is directed by fellow Montréal dweller John Londono in the woodlands, on a foreboding night, when Grimes come out to play.
Just when I was about to say "oh, well she's not wearing one of her pussy rings" — no, she is. As if she wouldn't be.

Tax rules for military personnel
Americans who serve in the military often face travel and moving costs due to frequent relocations, experience long stints overseas and incur job-related costs. Although members of the armed forces are required to pay income taxes like civilians, they may receive special tax treatment or qualify for a number of benefits.
For example, combat pay earned from serving in a designated combat zone is not considered taxable income. However, military members may include this type of pay on earned income when applying for the Earned Income Tax Credit, according to Fox Business. However, these benefits only apply to those serving in combat zones. Military personnel who are serving overseas in a safe zone may still be required to pay income taxes on wages.
Armed forces personnel who are serving in combat zones may also have more time to file their taxes. The Internal Revenue Service automatically extends the filing deadline by 180 days for those serving in designated areas, which begins on the last day they are stationed in this zone. The same extension is also given to those who are deployed from their permanent home base to serve in a contingency operation. Further, many military bases are equipped with a tax preparation agency to help members meet their needs.
Military personnel may also qualify for a number of deductions that can help lower their travel and business expenses. For example, reservists who must travel more than 100 miles from their home to perform their duties should track their mileage, as they may deduct these costs. Further, those who meet the 100-mile requirement may also deduct hotel lodgings, airfare and meal expenses. The cost of uniform upkeep, job-related education costs and professional membership fees may also be written off.
Lastly, those members who leave the armed forces and transition to civilian positions should also consider deducting job-search expenses, ranging from resume preparation and mailing fees to outplacement services and travel costs.
Military personnel should consult a
tax preparer
prior to deployment to better understand their tax benefits and filing requirements while overseas. This may help service members - or loved ones at home - better organize their documents and take advantage of all the rewards they are entitled to.

Hubble looks deeper into the cosmos
The Hubble Space Telescope has taken advantage of its beefed-up hardware to peer deep into the universe, spotting galaxies that existed just 600 million years or so after the big bang. In the image above, the faint, red objects are the most distant, but countless closer galaxies are discernible, as well.
The image comprises 48 hours of exposure time on Hubble's new Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3), stretched out over a four-day period in August. In May, shuttle astronauts paid Hubble what will likely be its final visit by Earthlings, installing WFC3 and repairing or replacing a number of other instruments and parts. With the space shuttle scheduled for retirement next year and no replacement astronaut launcher at the ready, NASA's hope was to maximize the telescope's longevity and scientific usefulness, giving it another five to 10 years of operational life.
Hubble's ability to peer into the early cosmos and reveal what a typical slice of the universe looks like at depth has been a boon to astronomers for years. In 1996, the space telescope produced the so-called Hubble Deep Field image with WFC3's predecessor, the Wide Field and Planetary Camera 2. And in 2004, another Hubble camera, the Advanced Camera for Surveys, took an even deeper look into the universe with the Hubble Ultra Deep Field.

Have you heard the story of the Underground Railroad told with quilts? Come join us at the Baldwin Boettcher Branch Library for the story of the Underground Railroad. Explore this subject for Black History Month. There will be a little food sampling while we explore the beautiful quilt blocks used to demonstrate how the slaves knew where to go and what to do once they escaped. February 20th at 6 pm. Once the demonstration is over, paper quilting (paper and scissor) will result in the creation of your own ten inch block with no sewing talents needed. Create a block of beauty all by yourself.
I don't know how to quilt, but I can certainly appreciate the skill it takes to make some of the quilts found in Lone Stars III: A Legacy of Texas Quilts, 1986-2011 by Karoline Patterson Bresenhan and Nancy O'Bryant Puentes. You'll be surprised by how non-traditional & ey

The Lesson Of Black Monday: Your NFL Team Doesn't Know What It's Doing

If six Fortune 500 CEOs were all shitcanned on the same day, the markets would crash; there'd be barricades in the streets by noon. But it's a telling sign of football culture that mass purges… »

AFRICA/CHAD - Christians and Muslims pray together for peace in Chad and Central Africa
N'Djamena (Agenzia Fides) - "The closing of the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity was celebrated in a very special way in Chad because it coincided with the third National Day of peaceful cohabitation", is what is said a note sent to Fides Agency by Fr. Clément Marie Bonou, of the Franciscans of Mary Immaculate.
"This - explains the religious - has to do with an initiative jointly organized by the Archdiocese of N'Djamena, the Superior Council of Islamic Affairs and the churches and evangelical missions in Chad in order to promote inter-religious dialogue and to allow Chadians of different faiths to live in an atmosphere of love and peace".
The Day should be celebrated on November 28 but was postponed due to the death, on November 19, of the Archbishop of N'Djamena, Mgr. Mathias Ngarteri Mayadi, who was the promoter of the initiative.
"The presence of the President of the Republic and members of his government denotes the need for all to work for peace and unity in the region of Central Africa", said Fr. Bonou, with a clear reference to the crisis in the neighboring Central African Republic, where Chadian soldiers are part of the African Union Mission in charge of helping to restore order in the Country, where the coexistence between the Christian and Muslim communities is put to test by recent events .
"In their prayers, the leaders of the three major religious communities, including Mgr. Joachim Kouraleyo Tarounga, Bishop of Moundou representing the Catholic Church, ask God to bless Chad. A unanimous prayer was addressed for peace in the Central African Republic". (L.M.) (Agenzia Fides 30/01/2014)

What do Drew Carey, Halle Berry, Tracy Morgan, and Tom Hanks have in common? They're all actors, and they all have Type 2 diabetes.
Hanks just recently revealed that he's living with Type 2 diabetes while appearing on "The Late Show with David Letterman" earlier this week. He said that after dealing with high blood sugar for 20 years, the doctor told him he had "graduated" to Type 2 diabetes. Thankfully the disease can be controlled with diet and exercise. Hanks' doctor suggested weight loss to bring him back to healthy, but the actor said that wouldn't be possible.
"My doctor said, 'Look, if you can weigh as much as you weighed in high school, you will essentially be completely healthy. You will not have Type 2 diabetes.' And then I said to her, 'Well, then, I'm gonna have Type 2 diabetes, because there is no way I can weigh as much as I did in high school,'" said Hanks on the show. Hanks then told Letterman that he weighed 96 pounds in high school.
While Hanks was lighthearted about his diagnosis on the show, hopefully the award-winning actor will seriously look into a change of diet. A plant-based one, perhaps?

My blog has been a bit sporadic lately but I have a good excuse.
I LOVE spring break.
The weather is always fabulous and we have a whole week to get out and celebrate it before it gets hot and miserable.
I try to plan lots of fun activities and outdoor time. This year I had to scrap a few of the hikes I had planned to rest my knee. There is still fun to be had out there
I'm not sure how much blogging I will get in this week but I will try to fill ya in on all the fun.
Here is what we have been up to so far.
Picnics in the park.
Wildflower's chopped salad is sooo good. I crave it.
Watching little imaginations grow, might be one of my favorite past times. He was giddy, like when I see cupcakes, giddy.
We have to get dirty and wet if the day is gonna be a success.
When you live in AZ you live for Spring Training games. We start them young. I don't know to many 2yr olds that can make it through a whole game but he can. He loves it.
Ponytail? Check. Pink shirt? Check. Pink glove? Check! Ready for the ball? Um, pass the cotton candy please.
Thank you. I trust a bucket with the words Tubby's cotton candy on it.
Spring training games are tough but the more you do it the better ya get. If you take kids, four to be exact, sitting in the outfield grass is the ticket.
The kiddies can rest.
They can roll down the grassy hill.
And the parents can watch
As long as you remember to use sun screen.
Free SPF 30!
If only cotton candy was free, now that would be the bomb diggity.
The proximity of Sweet Republic to the baseball fields is all too convenient. This place is Aaaamazing! Go there soon. Tell them the girl who licked the glass says Hi.
Tyler and Cambrie got the Campfire S'more sundae. Yeah, that's a toasted homemade marshmallow on top. Everything they make is homemade. This made some big smiles.
I tried the Salted Butter Caramel (tears weld up in my eyes and I proposed, no joke, Bradon got a cup of this, thas my boy), Real Mint, the Lavender (tasted like flowers, good, but only for one bite), the Honey Blue cheese (very interesting, and only one bite was enough for me), and the Guinness chocolate. They were all very good. But.....
When I walked in the door and I saw this. I knew I had to have it. The Toffee Banofi was featured on Food Network's "The Best Thing I Ever I Ate". I guess this is Alton Browns best thing. Annnnd now, it's mine. Seriously good. Their salted caramel sauce is everything it needs to be and more.
The homemade toffee buttercrunch is just showing off.
I hope when I go back tomorrow for breakfast they will show off some more for me.
Or scoop me a bowl of Maple Bacon ice cream.

About the Book
In this stunning debut novel, Agu, a young boy in an unnamed West African nation, is recruited into a unit of guerrilla fighters as civil war engulfs his country. Haunted by his father's own death at the hands of militants, Agu is vulnerable to the dangerous yet paternal nature of his new commander. While the war rages on, Agu becomes increasingly divorced from the life he had known before the conflict started—a life of school friends, church services, and time with his family still intact
In a powerful, strikingly original voice that vividly captures Agu's youth and confusion, Uzodinma Iweala has produced a harrowing, inventive, and deeply affecting novel.

Steaming water poured from the old brass faucet. I had a few candles lit, a book I'd been working on and Lily of the Valley soap on hand. And, as I slipped in and felt how silky smooth the surface of that old tub was, I closed my eyes and thought about how worth it the latest refurbishing job at Club Breen had been.
This old house has a few quirks. It also has a lot of charm. For me, it had three big selling points 20 years ago: the wraparound porch, the fireplace and a huge old bathtub. Nothing there has changed.
That old bathtub is nearly 6 feet long and 16 inches deep. It's big enough that I can easily submerge myself in it from my shoulders to my toes.
But for more than a decade now, it's been a terrible mess. Don't get me wrong, it wasn't unusable, but it has looked awful for a very long time. The finish was ruined in an unfortunate cleanser incident. Something ate the glossy enamel finish right off of it a good decade ago, and ever since, it's been scarred and ugly. I know it's a stain.
But I also know that anyone else seeing it must think we are a filthy and lazy bunch here at Club Breen.
Every year, I try to complete a specific improvement project here. And, after all these years, this year was the year of refurbishing the old tub. Let me tell you, finding a way to re-enamel an old built-in tub is not easy.
And having it done is not cheap, but it was worth it.
It took four days of having everyone in the house parade through my own bathroom upstairs, which meant four days of other people's towels and underwear on my bathroom floor. And, for some reason, no one ever seems to get the door to my shower latched right, so it also meant four days of soaked bathmats in my bathroom.
It was worth that, too.
My giant old bathtub doesn't just look beautiful now; it is silky-smooth and is seriously more relaxing than a glass of wine. The old sliding bathtub doors are gone, replaced by a frilly new shower curtain.
It's putting the big house project from a few years back to great use, too.
You see, two years ago we replaced an old, worn-out water heater with a water heater so big that the sales folks asked me if I was running a hotel.
"No, just three teenagers and me," I remember saying. "But this should solve our water wars."
And it did.
Also, the giant water heater with the giant bathtub are a heavenly combination after a long day.
OK, I admit it took a bite out of the holiday budget this year. But, while I'm out hunting for Christmas deals, I'll know that when I get home, I'll have the perfect way to relax.
And it will be so worth it.

Nottingham Trent University: School of the Built Environment
Nottingham students need to ask bigger questions and seek out broader horizons, writes Darren Deane
Nottingham Trent University BArch Degree Show, 6-11 June
Emerging schools of architecture have one advantage over more established institutions: their identity can be constructed from scratch. Nottingham Trent, which saw its first 19-strong cohort graduating this year, is in this enviable position. Established in 2006, the founders must have been spoilt for choice when selecting an ethos, but absolute freedom can quickly flip into a search for safe ground.
Most projects on show are driven by community-based briefs and can be read as a reaction to the vertiginous marketplace of architectural education. The process is quite straightforward: adopt the social and geographical limits of the surrounding context, complete with inhabitants, their needs and sites, map these on to a bounded insular conversation, then substitute this closed world for an outward-facing institutional agenda. Bypassing universal questions and ideas that transcend place is the hidden cost that limits the school to a vernacular provincialism.
The growth of a young school depends on careful integration of intellectual strands, and the kind-hearted regionalism shown in sections of the show may well run out of steam. Contextualism is certainly a grounding component in architecture, but cultural interpretation needs to move to the edge, cross the tracks, and expand horizons.
A smattering of projects did find their way to the edge. The urban crematorium by Catherine Amos attempted to reinstate material presence into the urban core. As the only scheme to have exposed the developmental stages, it also revealed the effort put into the orchestration of the plan, a dimension regularly undervalued these days by students intoxicated with photorealism. James Decent's alleyway project was the highlight in terms of articulation – a reciprocation of tectonics, spatial structure, room characterisation and urban situation. Perhaps these projects are the breakthrough that will move the school towards an edgy contextualism that positions architecture between universal ideas and communal concerns.

|Rapid detection of salmonella in pet food: design and evaluation of integrated methods based on real-time PCR detection.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 22289596 Owner: NLM Status: In-Data-Review
|Reducing the risk of Salmonella contamination in pet food is critical for both companion animals and humans, and its importance is reflected by the substantial increase in the demand for pathogen testing. Accurate and rapid detection of foodborne pathogens improves food safety, protects the public health, and benefits food producers by assuring product quality while facilitating product release in a timely manner. Traditional culture-based methods for Salmonella screening are laborious and can take 5 to 7 days to obtain definitive results. In this study, we developed two methods for the detection of low levels of Salmonella in pet food using real-time PCR: (i) detection of Salmonella in 25 g of dried pet food in less than 14 h with an automated magnetic bead-based nucleic acid extraction method and (ii) detection of Salmonella in 375 g of composite dry pet food matrix in less than 24 h with a manual centrifugation-based nucleic acid preparation method. Both methods included a preclarification step using a novel protocol that removes food matrix-associated debris and PCR inhibitors and improves the sensitivity of detection. Validation studies revealed no significant differences between the two real-time PCR methods and the standard U.S. Food and Drug Administration Bacteriological Analytical Manual (chapter 5) culture confirmation method.

From Kathryn Grace,
Mountain Home:
Carla Swanson, executive director of Arkansas Time after Time, needs to complete her sentence. Current sex offender laws punish people who have "made one stupid mistake" - that they got caught doing, Many sex offenders are not caught until years of abuse have taken place. The victim has to grow up enough to know that it is not their fault and find the courage to report the offense.
Is the sex offender and their family punished more than the victim and their family? The victim's whole life is affected by the assault, from childhood through adulthood until their death.
The reason Level 3 and 4 sex offenders should not be allowed around children's play areas is like an alcoholic not going to bars or drinking parties; the temptation is too strong.
When I was about 10 years old, we were playing softball at the school playground behind our house. My little sister was looking for pretty stones in the gravel at third base. A man, who had been watching us play, grabbed my little sister and ran toward the railroad bridge. My crippled mother started screaming from our back porch. I ran after him and grabbed his leg until he let her go. My memory of that has never changed.
When kids are being good and out to have a fun day, they should not have to be afraid to be there.
Our lakes bring many kids to this area, bringing with them many tourism dollars that provide tax dollars and jobs for us.
We need to keep their safety our first priority

Yesterday, Variety reported that Consumer Electronics Association president and CEO Gary Shapiro, who is criticizing current rogue websites legislation, has a history of criticizing content protection law that has created the internet as we know it.The PROTECT IP Act (S.968) in the Senate and the Stop Online Piracy Act (H.R. 3261) in the House have bipartisan support and will preserve American jobs and target foreign websites that steal and profit from counterfeit goods and stolen creative content like books and movies and music. Recently, Shapiro has made many false claims about the legislation, including that it will "allow any copyright owner to shut down a legitimate retail website, such as Amazon…" Unfortunately, this kind of sky is falling rhetoric is not surprising. In 2005, after the Supreme Court ruled on the Grokster vs. MGM case, Shapiro said it "makes it difficult for a new product or technology to garner the funding necessary to come to market. 'Before developing a product in the Post-Grokster environment, an innovator or entrepreneur will have to persuade everyone--from outside bankers to inside counsel - that it can be sold without risk of a lawsuit. Venture capital migrates away from risky, litigation-prone areas.'" As we know, numerous innovative products have been produced since 2005 and the internet has expanded the availability of movies and music. Just last month, Apple reported that 16 billion iTunes songs have been downloaded and 300 million IPods have been sold. Shapiro also opposed the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) of 1998 after it was passed, calling it "a huge mistake." The DMCA has been recognized as the "law that saved the web." And he's not the only who has proclaimed that content protection law will end the internet. The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) has stated that the Stop Online Piracy Act (H.R. 3261) will "break the internet." In 2008, EFF called the PRO-IP act "harmful." But after the PRO-IP Act became law in October 2008, innovation has flourished, including film and TV content that is now available through all of the major mobile phone and mobile devices. Back in 2005, the group held that the Grokster ruling would "chill innovation and retard the entire sector." Another group, Public Knowledge, has called the Stop Online Piracy Act (H.R.3261) "draconian." They also claimed that the 2005 Grokster ruling would be "very harmful to consumers and our economy." Venture capitalists are also getting in on the sky is falling rhetoric, claiming that the PROTECT IP Act (S.968) will "stifle investment in Internet services, throttle innovation, and hurt American competitiveness." But the venture capital community also has a history of criticizing content protection law. For example, in 2005, the National Venture Capital Association said that the Grokster ruling "would have a devastating impact on the development of legitimate and valuable new products and services for consumers." So when you hear Gary Shapiro and others proclaiming that the current legislation will be the end of the internet just remember that they've been wrong before and they're wrong again this time.

Dreams of a minor league baseball park in Windsor came closer to reality Wednesday after the Town Council initiated a study to determine if building a stadium makes economic sense.
While council members expressed excitement at the prospect of having a baseball stadium, they also told proponents of the ballpark that a public-private partnership is not guaranteed.
"The risk factor is one that has to be spelled out," said Mayor Sam Salmon. "It's a terrific project to look at in a feasibility study. We also have to go in with our eyes open."
If Windsor buys the land, entrepreneur Chris Lee of Kenwood said his group, Pacific Baseball Partners, will build a $10 million stadium. He estimates it would attract 275,000 to 320,000 people annually.
"I'm excited," said Councilwoman Robin Goble. "We're being courted, and I think we ought to pay attention to the opportunity."
But she said the key is to have a major league affiliation with a farm team.
"It needs to be part of something bigger that's successful," she said.
Following the meeting, Lee said he's not sure he even made it to first base with the Town Council. "I just dug into the batter's box," he said with a laugh after the council gave him the go-ahead to do a stadium feasibility study in conjunction with town officials. He estimated it will cost $25,000.
Councilwoman Debora Fudge said a ballpark fits with Windsor's image as a family-oriented community.
She said it could be a magnet for tourism and generate hotel stays. But on the negative side, she said it "doesn't provide a lot of jobs per acre."

After plans for an elite bike race on Woodward Avenue this summer were blocked by Royal Oak officials, organizers said they're bent on holding a recreational ride with hundreds of cyclists on the signature roadway and that police can't bar them from a public road.
"We do plan to have an event," Aaron Dylewski, 30, of Troy told Royal Oak officials Monday night at the City Commission meeting, as half a dozen other cyclists watched.
Mayor Jim Ellison listened to Dylewski speak and said, "We will be watching it carefully."
Before joining friends to pedal off into the snowy night, Jennifer Tantanella, 27, of Lincoln Park said the summer ride could attract as many as 1,000 cyclists, judging by recent turnouts as large as the 5,000 who rode in last summer's Tour du Troit in Detroit.
"We ride on Woodward all the time, and it's safe," Tantanella said, pooh-poohing safety worries of Royal Oak officials.
Before the meeting, Dale Hughes of Clarkston, a nationally prominent designer of Olympic velodromes and organizer of the bike race, said the refusal of Royal Oak -- after Detroit, Birmingham and Ferndale gave their approvals -- blocked the remaining communities on Woodward from signing on to what would have been a 52-mile round trip.
The race was to start in downtown Detroit, circle Pontiac and return to downtown Detroit, Hughes said. The revised event will start at 8 a.m. June 30 -- a Sunday, so that traffic will be light, he said.
Cyclists will pay an entry fee that will go to charity, then ride to bike shops in the Woodward corridor, "get a gift from the bike shop" and be entered into prize drawings, he said.
"I hope it goes well for them," Royal Oak Police Chief Corrigan O'Donohue said Monday.
O'Donohue and Royal Oak City Manager Don Johnson have said it would be difficult and costly for the city to meet organizers' demands to assure safety to participants while closing off crossroads so that racers could run red lights on Woodward at cycling speeds of more than 30 m.p.h.

A LaSalle woman faces prison time for providing heroin and cocaine to her boyfriend that led to his death.
Jessica L. Shinaver, 26 is expected in Monroe County Circuit Court Friday for a pretrial hearing.
This summer the Monroe County Prosecutor's Office filed a manslaughter charge against her in connection with the death of her boyfriend, Brian Coch of Monroe.
Mr. Coch, 39, a former Marine and Golden Gloves boxer, died Feb. 15.
Ms. Shinaver had been charged with two counts of possession of controlled substance less than 25 grams. Monroe County Prosecutor William Paul Nichols said the 15-year manslaughter charge was filed after an investigation by Monroe police.
"She provided the heroin that he ingested that contributed to his death," Mr. Nichols said. He declined to elaborate on details of what happened on the night of Mr. Coch's death. It was not clear if Ms. Shinaver was the one who actually injected the drug into Mr. Coch or if he ingested it himself.
Mr. Coch's family chose not to comment on the legal issue until the judicial process is complete. However, Mr. Coch's brother, Aaron, stressed in e- mails that his brother was not a drug addict.
"Brian was your typical bluecollar worker, employed by the City of Monroe Wastewater Treatment Plant, with no history of drug abuse or prior convictions of any kind," Mr. Coch wrote.
"Brian enjoyed the time spent with his son, Devon. I know this is something he looked forward to. We spent a lot of time around the dinner table together, just enjoying our time as a family. It was always nice to just get together and have a good laugh. This is something I think we will miss the most," he said.

Having just wrapped his winter dates, Jackson Browne has announced his initial solo acoustic concerts. As it stands now, the proper tour will kick off on June 19th in Salt Lake City and wrap over two nights on July 5th and 6th at Atlantic City's Borgata Hotel, Casino & Spa. Before the tour, Browne has three dates on the books — two Texas shows opening for Jimmy Buffett on May 2nd in Austin and May 4th and Dallas, along with a May 11th appearance at Northern California's Bottle Rock Napa Valley at the Napa Valley Exposition. Also appearing on the bill with Browne that night will be Kings Of Leon, Ben Harper & Charlie Musselwhite, Jane's Addiction, Bad Religion, and Dwight Yoakam.
In addition to his more recent work, Jackson Browne's recent shows also include such classics as "Boulevard," "Running On Empty," and his breakthrough hit "Doctor My Eyes." Browne says that "Doctor My Eyes" was the result of writing on a broken piano

As widely reported, ICANN Board members rejected the application for a new .xxx top level domain yesterday. After reading through how the board voted and their meeting commentary, I can safely report that the TLD approval process seems broken.
Was there sufficient interest? One of the key criteria for developing any new top level domain is support from the community. There were more than 70,000 pre-registrants for this TLD. Some board members thought this passed the test, while others disagreed.
Would ICANN be liable? Many board members expressed lingering concerns about new content responsibilities or even regulatory functions for ICANN. Yet it wasn't clear this would ever happen, especially across international borders.
What happened with the voting? The results were split, with nine members against this TLD, five for it, and one abstained. Both before and after voting, there was much hand-wringing about the tortured and lengthy review process over the past few years.
If approved, then our landscape would have shifted only slightly. We expected adult sites to operate on these .xxx domains, as well as existing TLDs. Existing filtering efforts would still need to be supported by the search engines, too.
However, we have put this new TLD and any changes to rest for now.

Just in case anyone else in the U.S. felt left out of being bombarded with Korean nationalistic themes like they have in New York, a picture of a "Dokdo Belongs to Korea" billboard near Los Angeles popped up.
(Photo from Money Today)
The billboard appears to be on the 60 Freeway in the unincorporated city of Rowland Heights (28 miles from Los Angeles) and is apparently being sponsored by a private citizen named Alex Cho. He is also owner of the jimjilbang (찜질방) Diamond Family Spa and is known as a bit of a philanthropist in the community, buying 1,500 World Baseball Classic tickets and doing charity work for senior citizens.

Heather Locklear is rumored to have plastic surgery, so she looks younger than her real age. The news of Heather Locklear plastic surgery is posted in some newspapers and magazines. Some people say that she has surgery. She will not be able to look younger without having surgery.
Heather is a famous actress in Hollywood and she is known as multitalented actress. This Blonde and pretty actress look different from time to time and it looks very clear when paparazzi took her picture at Vancouver Airport. You will never believe that she is 49 years old actress. People guess that she have some surgery procedures to maintain her youthful look.
Dr. Paul S. Nassif tells some possibilities that are done by her. She looks younger because she does some plastic jobs such as mini facelift, Botox and also facial filler. Minimally facelift is done because she wants to make little changes in her face and wants to make her face look natural.
The other plastic surgeon also says that she have Botox in order to make smoother forehead. According to Dr. Michael Salzhauer, filler will make she has full cheeks. Heather also does Rhinoplasty or it is often called as nose job. She does Rhinoplasty in some areas such as eyes and also face.
Some people and plastic surgeon also predict that Heather will continue to do some other surgery in the future. She still wants to have a natural look and she still wants to look for youthful appearance. The celebrity will be related to surgery because surgery will make them look perfect in front of their fans. When they have lots of fans, they will still be accepted in the entertainment industry. We need to see next several years. When she always looks younger, it is just because she does plastic surgery.

We have officially started BetterU 2012! The four challengers and I attended orientation last night at Madonna ProActive and got lots of great info. What a great facility! I had never been before and it definitely blew me away.
The goal of the Go Red for Women BetterU Challenge isn't just to lose weight. It's to improve internal heart health as well. I had my blood drawn last week, and last night I learned the results. I have to say, I was pleasantly surprised. My cholesterol is a healthy number (sigh of relief) and I am not at risk for diabetes. But that doesn't mean I don't have work to do - the doctor from Nebraska Heart Institute wants be to up my good cholesterol by 5 points, and drop my bad cholesterol by 10 points. He said it's a very reasonable goal for a 12 week program, so besides the 25 pounds I'd like to lose, I'm going to be focusing on my numbers as well.
I'm so excited to get started working with the dieticians and trainers at Madonna. The thing on the top of my list though - the group fitness classes! I checked out the schedule last night and I'm already planning out my attendance. I took dance classes from age 2 until age 18, so the Tap Blast and Ballroom Blast classes are a must. I'm also a big Zumba fan, so I'm ready to get my Latin dance on. I've never taken a water aerobics class before, but there was one which incorporated ballet which I'm thinking about diving into (pun intended).
I'm hoping to keep this blog updated every few days with pics and tips as I go through the program, so check back often for updates!

Meet Me In Kyoto
Silk pajama pants are all the rage and I was immediately drawn to this pair from Zara. At first, I was a little reluctant to wear something in public with the word "pajama" in it, but this pair is more tailored than sloppy with the its pleating and pockets (oh how I love pockets). In addition to fit, the color and pattern on these pants are simply beautiful and reminiscent of Japan. Lastly, it has a wonderful shade of blue that perfectly matched my "instant arm party" wrap watch. All together, I kind of wish I was in Japan right now…meet me there?

CLEVELAND (AP) - The Miami Heat experienced airplane troubles on their way to Cleveland for LeBron James' first game in the city since he left the Cavaliers.
Jackie Mayo, a spokeswoman for Cleveland Hopkins airport, says the crew of the Heat's plane reported a wing "flap issue" early Thursday as the aircraft was on its approach. An alert was issued at the airport and two fire trucks were sent out to the runway, which is standard procedure.
Mayo says the plane landed safely around 2:30 a.m.
The Cavaliers host the Heat Thursday night in Cleveland, five months after James angered Cleveland fans by announcing his departure for Miami. Extra security measures have been implemented for the game to prevent trouble and to protect James.

Does the Republican Party truly believe Iraq is part of the war on terror and that the war on terror is the most important issue facing voters next week? If so, I wish its operatives and candidates would start acting like it instead of running from Iraq and President Bush.
Too many GOP candidates and spokesmen are playing into the Democrats' hands by virtually conceding the Iraq issue -- an issue upon which the Democrats are extremely vulnerable themselves, if challenged.
I know, I know, many readers will think I'm way off base making such an assertion, having bought into the spoon-fed conventional wisdom that Iraq is a guaranteed loser. What is guaranteed is that America will be the loser if we abandon the president on Iraq and abandon the mission there.
I've seen countless Republican politicians sprinting for the tall grass when asked if they support the president's policy on Iraq. Most of them by the way, are incumbents who have most certainly supported Bush's thankless policy but are now afraid to stand by him in the heat of an election contest.
The same holds true for many GOP operatives, not to mention conservative pundits, who are also going wobbly on this difficult war. I watched Elizabeth Dole, chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, on "Fox News Sunday" appearing to duck the Iraq question, saying that people have different opinions about the war as a matter of conscience. She eventually got around to pointing out the inferiority of the Democratic position on the war, but she was quite unwilling for the election to be a national referendum on Iraq.
Given this approach by GOP insiders, what is an inquiring voter to think? If Republicans won't stand by President Bush on Iraq, how can we expect the public to? If Republicans think that supporting Bush on this is suicidal, how much more so will it be if they run from it?
It is pure folly for Republicans to think they can escape accountability for Iraq by dodging it. If the prevailing national mood is to "throw the bums out," which is debatable, why do we suppose that is?
We are deluding ourselves if we think it's because of Republican scandals or the values issue. Like it or not, it's mainly about Iraq. Not only does this nation usually lack the stomach for a difficult and protracted war, the Democrats have succeeded to a frightful degree, through their relentless propaganda, in convincing people this is an unjust war launched by an unscrupulous president.

Sarah Palin for Senate.
Or at least Sarah Palin for speaking tours.
Either way, ratcheting up the rhetoric against Alaska's Sen. Mark Begich has to help Palin's cause, be it a race for his seat or better bookings for herself.
Palin launched a four-barrel Facebook and Twitter attack on Begich today, two days after suggesting she might challenge him next year.
She bills him as "Mark Begich — Alaskan Chameleon (an endangered species)," quoting a columnist for the Anchorage Daily News on the "repentant liberal yearning for rebirth as a Moderate Republican."
She says Begich, a first-term senator with no apparent challenger for reelection next year, yet, votes with New York's Sen. Chuck Schumer 91 percent of the time, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid 89 percent (never mind that Begich was one of four Senate Democrats who helped kill the background checks for gun-buyers that Schumer and Reid were promoting.)
`Begich has voted for Obamacare, amnesty for illegals, tax hikes, abortion rights," she adds, accusing him of "playing of the ol' Washington political game."
Begich has noted that Palin's resume includes an unfinished term as governor — she quit mid-way — in addition to losing her party's bid for the White House on a ticket with Sen. John McCain of Arizona in 2008. Palin "quit on Alaska," Begich told Politico this week, and has "lost touch" with Alaskans. Begich even questioned her residency — though not her citizenship.
I'd be happy to compare my record of fighting for #Alaska w/ @SarahPalinUSA, but it doesn't seem fair since she never finished the job. -MB

"It cheers us up and gives us good opportunity to remind Alaskans just how loyal to the Obama agenda you have been," Palin writes. "Many hope to see great changes for our great state following the upcoming 2014 election." "Margaret Thatcher used to say, 'I always cheer up immensely if an attack is particularly wounding because I think, well, if they attack one personally, it means they have not a single political argument left,'" Palin writes. "Mark, after looking at your voting record I can see why you are looking for a distraction."

Kauai County said a pilot curbside recycling program in Puhi and portions of Lihue will end this month.
About 1,300 homes were involved in the program, which began last fall. An average of 28.78 pounds of recyclable materials were collected from each home each month, Kauai County Engineer Larry Dill said in a news release. About 70 percent of the material collected during the 10-month program was mixed paper, cardboard and newspaper.
The program will end on Aug. 18 for Puhi residents and on Aug. 25 for participating neighborhoods in central Lihue. The county said data collected will help plan future recycling programs.

Richard Linklater Explains His Secret Movie Boyhood

Okay, what?
5. Gatsby meets Daisy's daughter. In both the novel and the film, Daisy pays very little attention to her daughter, Pammy, who represents all of Daisy's obligations to Tom and the years they've spent building a life together. When Pammy comes in to meet Gatsby in the book, Nick notes, "I don't think he had ever really believed in its existence before"—it being the child.
This scene doesn't happen in the film. I wish we could have seen Leo grimacing as he sees proof of the fact that, yes, at one point, Daisy and Tom did love each other enough to consummate their marriage.
4. Myrtle's death is pretty. In the film, when she gets hit by a car, Myrtle flies gorgeously into the air and drops dead onto the pavement with artistically placed cuts intimating her fatal injuries. In the book, Fitzgerald writes, "[The accident] ripped her open."
3. Nick doesn't have a late-night encounter with Mr. McKee. Scandal-obsessed teen students weaned on TMZ and Perez Hilton love speculating about Nick's possible homosexuality: his obsession with Gatsby, his sexless relationship with Jordan, his comment on the first page that he has "feigned sleep" to avoid hearing about "the secret griefs of wild, unknown men."
But no scene inspires feverish claims that Nick is gay, or at the very least dabbles in bisexuality, more than the ending of Chapter 2. After getting wasted at Myrtle's apartment in New York, Nick leaves with Mr. McKee, a neighbor described as "effeminate." The elevator boy scolds Mr. McKee for accidentally grabbing the phallic elevator lever, and Fitzgerald allows the reader to imagine what he meant to grab. Then, ellipses, and Nick is "standing beside [McKee's] bed and he was sitting up between the sheets, clad in his underwear." More ellipses, and Nick is back at Penn Station, waiting for the train.
None of this makes it into the film.
2. Gatsby is the only one whose fortune is tainted. As all my students can now coherently explain (I hope), Fitzgerald does his best to skewer the American Dream: the idea that people who work hard will make more money and can ascend in class. Luhrmann picks up on the point that social mobility is damn near impossible but neglects to emphasize the many places where Fitzgerald points out that most people, not just Gatsby the bootlegger, gain their money through unethical means—or by doing nothing at all.
Gatsby doesn't inherit the money left to him by alcoholic yacht-owner Dan Cody because Cody's mistress, Ella Kaye, kills Cody and engineers some legal machinations to get the fortune herself. Nick mentions that his family made its money when his grandfather sent a substitute to the Civil War and started a hardware business.
1. Nick never catalogs the people who came to Gatsby's parties. In an allusion to Homer's catalog of the ships and captains who traveled to Troy to fight in The Iliad, Fitzgerald spends three pages at the start of Chapter 4 on an elaborate party guest list. As in, these are the people we worship in society now: not great heroes and warriors, but drunken rich people. Elevator Repair Service, the experimental theater company that produced the critically acclaimed Gatz, a seven-hour play that involves reading the novel aloud in its entirety, at one point envisioned these pages filmed in the style of Martin Scorcese's famous tracking shot in Goodfellas, scanning over each party attendee as we hear about the grisly ends so many of them meet.
The pages are somewhat boring to read, so I can see why Luhrmann might have deemed them superfluous, but adding a visual element to the catalog would have improved it tenfold. A major missed opportunity.
And what else? Believe me, I could go on about this for hours, but . . .
Daisy never calls Nick "Nicky." Wolfsheim has human-molar cufflinks, not a human-molar tie pin. Klipspringer, the boarder, is a terrible piano player and is certainly not related to Beethoven, as the movie claims. Jordan and Nick make out. Jordan is a compulsive liar. Gatsby's parents are "shiftless and unsuccessful," but not "dirt-poor." Gatsby's father and Owl Eyes both attend Gatsby's funeral; Nick isn't the only one, as the movie claims. There is no mention of Daisy and Gatsby maintaining their tight control over their public masks by not drinking. We never hear that Daisy's voice is "full of money." We never hear Nick say he believes himself to be "one of the few honest people that I have ever known."
And at one point in the book, Gatsby says he's from the Midwest. When Nick asks where, specifically, Gatsby replies, "San Francisco." What? Hilarious! Why would you cut that?
No, seriously. Why, Baz Luhrmann? Why?

Kristen Davis-Lange drove over 60 miles from Silver Springs to pick out a prom dress. it took 13 tries, but the Silver Stage sophomore finally found the right one.
"It fits really well and I love the color. It brings out my skin tone," says Davis-Lange.
Kristen is one of many high schoolers taking advantage of Aly's Prom Closet which provides nearly new clothes and accessories to ensure financially challenged teens can attend their prom.
"Where I live in the rural area, a lot of us can't afford to buy a fancy dress for $100, so it helps out a lot," says Davis-Lange.
The program is named after aly christenson, a Bishop Manogue grad killed in a car accident in 2001. The next year, her mother helped start the non-profit Family Counseling Service Program.
"It's a wonderful tribute. She would absolutely love this. it's about more than that for me now. It's about about these students that come in. It's putting a smile on their face," says Becky Blank.
After 11 years Aly's Prom Closet has assisted over 2,500 of those students from all over northern Nevada find their perfect prom outfit.
"For a lot of these gals, prom is such a big deal and they've never had somebody be their personal shopper, so it's a lot of fun," says Laura Munro.
This program is fueled through donations from people in the community so that students like Kristen can afford to have a one of a kind prom experience.
You can donate your gently used prom clothes, accessories, or make a financial donation at the Aly's Prom Closet office in the Shopper's Square Mall in Reno on Tuesdays from 4-7pm, Thursdays from 4-7pm, and Saturdays from Noon-4pm until April 28th.

Colorado Gov. Bill Ritter has teamed up with three other Democratic governors to fight their states' Republican attorneys general in court over a challenge to the recently passed national health care law.
Ritter and the governors of Washington, Michigan and Pennsylvania have signed an agreement to work with law firms in Florida and Washington state in the case. Under the agreement, the firms would do the work for free, and the governors' offices would share information about the lawsuit.
The four states have Democratic governors who support the health care law and Republican attorneys general who have joined the suit challenging it. Colorado Attorney General John Suthers signed onto the suit in March.
"I don't think it's fair that he (Suthers) speaks as the attorney general of Colorado about health care without there being a fuller airing of what the people of Colorado think about the issue, including what I, as governor, think," Ritter said.
It's not the first time Colorado's Democratic governor and Republican attorney general have disagreed on a legal issue and sought separate paths in court, and the same can be said of past governors and attorneys general of different parties.
But no one could remember an instance where governors from multiple states were drawn together to fight attorneys general in multiple states over a national issue.
The lawsuit argues the health care bill is unconstitutional because it requires all Americans to purchase health care insurance. Attorneys general in 15 other states have joined the suit. Only one is a Democrat; the others are Republicans.
A federal judge in Florida on Thursday ruled that the case can move forward procedurally. The four governors are considering filing papers in the case in support of the federal law.
Suthers said he understood why Ritter had teamed up with other Democratic governors challenging their Republican attorneys general.
"There's a lot of pressure from the White House on Democrats," Suthers said. "I've talked to Democratic AGs in the West, and they feel very awkward not being in this case."
"Vehemently disagree"
Ritter saw things differently.
"I would vehemently disagree that the politicization has been on the Democratic side," he said. "There wouldn't be any further need to air our feelings in court if there hadn't been a lawsuit brought by people opposing national health care."
Ritter said he received no pressure from the White House to take legal action, although he and the other governors had communicated with officials in President Barack Obama's administration about the suit.
"One thing we didn't want to do was undermine their litigation strategy," he said.
A cordial relationship
Despite the legal standoff between Ritter and Suthers, the two have maintained a cordial relationship.
"When I got in this suit, I called the governor and said, 'Do you want to join?' " Suthers said, "and he kind of laughed and said, 'I don't think so.' "
But Ritter also gave Suthers a heads-up before he released a statement the next day criticizing the attorney general's decision. Ritter's office showed Suthers the statement before releasing and asked if it was fair.
"I said, 'That sounds reasonable,' " Suthers said.
Ritter said he has known Suthers for years, since the two were district attorneys — Ritter in Denver and Suthers in El Paso County.
"The way John and I have operated since I have been governor is professional courtesy extended to each other," said Ritter, who, nonetheless, is backing Suthers' opponent, Democrat Stan Garnett, for attorney general in next month's election.
