Slowed but not halted, Texas A&M's hopes of joining the Southeastern Conference remain quite realistic, multiple sources said Sunday.
The SEC presidents and chancellors, meeting Sunday, declined to offer A&M a bid to leave the Big 12 in what had been a whirlwind courtship. Conference members "reaffirmed our satisfaction with the present 12 institutional alignment," according to a carefully worded statement. "No action was taken with respect to any institution, including Texas A&M."
The SEC mentioned the possibility of future expansion and acknowledged discussing "criteria and process" for adding schools.
While A&M fans had hoped for a bid Sunday, sources said the announcement reflected that the process involves a series of steps.
Asked about the SEC statement, Big 12 Commissioner Dan Beebe told USA Today: "It's sufficiently ambiguous and open-ended to suggest that activity is going to continue."
"Talks between the SEC and A&M remain alive," said one person familiar with the process. Sources indicate that before issuing a bid, the SEC wants A&M to address lingering issues involving Texas politics and Big 12 legal concerns.
"This is not the end," said a Big 12 school official who requested anonymity.
Texas A&M planned to go ahead with a scheduled board of regents meeting Monday at which President R. Bowen Loftin is expected to be given authority to pursue a new conference alignment.
A&M will also participate in a Texas House Committee on Higher Education hearing Tuesday in Austin addressing a potential move.
"As we have seen over the past several days, there has been a considerable amount of misinformation regarding these discussions and any associated timelines," Loftin said in a statement. "These are extremely complex issues, and it is imperative that we proceed methodically and in the best interests of Texas A&M."
One consideration: A&M could face a steep penalty if the Aggies leave the Big 12 to join the SEC for the 2012-13 school year. Under Big 12 bylaws, by giving less than a year's notice, A&M would become liable for 90 percent of its conference distribution from last season (2010-11) and the current year. That could be $28 million to $30 million, sources indicated. Nebraska and Colorado negotiated buyouts of less than half the official amount when they left the conference in June 2010.
The SEC has said it was approached by A&M, which could minimize any legal claims of interference stemming from the Big 12's recently signed $1.17 billion cable TV rights deal with Fox.
"[A&M] did approach the SEC, not the other way around," Arkansas Chancellor Dave Gearhart told The New York Times. "I'm not really sure of all the reasons for that."
A&M was a topic at Sunday's SEC meeting, Gearhart confirmed to The Times.
"It was really an open discussion, not just about A&M but about the future of the conference and the future of other conferences," Gearhart said. "We did talk about Texas A&M. It's a great university, a great place."
The addition of A&M as a 13th team would force the SEC to look for another school to balance its divisions.
The Big 12 remained quiet Sunday after its board of directors and athletic directors met Saturday. After those sessions, the conference had issued a statement saying it had "strongly conveyed" a desire that A&M remain a member.
The conference also promised to "aggressively move forward" with expansion should A&M exit and leave the Big 12 with just nine members. Sources say Brigham Young University would be among the top candidates, which would also include Houston, Air Force and Texas Christian University. State Rep. Dan Branch, the state House Higher Education Committee chairman, suggested that the Big 12 strongly consider Houston and Southern Methodist University, both former Southwest Conference members.
A league source indicated that TV partners Fox and ESPN have indicated that if A&M leaves and the Big 12 finds a suitable replacement, the networks would not alter contracts.
Texas Tech Athletic Director Kirby Hocutt, asked Sunday about another potential defection from the Big 12, said: "I think any of us would be not honest with ourselves if we didn't say we were disappointed to be in this situation again. We didn't believe we would be here. You … look at the circumstances and try to address it the best you can."
Texas football coach Mack Brown, in an interview with ESPN Radio, acknowledged concern about a possible A&M departure but said, "Texas will be fine. I think the Big 12 will be fine regardless of what comes out of this, and we'll move forward."
Brown did say he would hate to see "universities that have played for hundreds of years break up."
Key dates this week for Texas A&M and its possible membership in the SEC:
3 p.m. Monday: A&M's board of regents is expected to authorize President R. Bowen Loftin to handle all matters related to the Aggies' conference affiliation.
2 p.m. Tuesday: The Texas House Committee on Higher Education will explore A&M's possible move to the SEC. Committee Chairman Dan Branch, R-Dallas, has invited testimony from Loftin, regents Chairman Richard A. Box, SEC Commissioner Mike Slive and Big 12 Commissioner Dan Beebe.

creating a contented life
I started snapping at my husband. Again.
A few years ago, any time that I was stressed out, it was inevitable that I'd snap at him. I'd nit-pick. I'd nag. My voice would take on an edge that was both unattractive and demoralizing to the relationship. My husband is a patient man, and it helped that I would always apologize–but everyone has their limit, and he was hitting his.
The edge that crept into my voice, the tendency to snap off some irritated comment when I was tired, felt so habituated that I wasn't sure how I'd ever change.
And then, one day, it shifted. I saw very clearly why the pattern was continuing.
I was able to stop doing something that I had been doing regularly for as long as I could remember. It was powerful beyond measure, proof-positive that if you really want to see things change, they can change.
* * *
After having our baby, things were bliss for a few weeks. Then the sleep-deprivation started to kick in. I'd ask my husband to grab something for me–I'd be exhausted; the baby would be crying–he wouldn't know where the something was located–I'd be exhausted; the baby would be crying–I'd tell him where it was–I'd be exhausted; the baby would be crying–he'd tell me that the something wasn't where I thought I'd left it–I'd be exhausted; the baby would be crying–and I'd snap at him, telling him he must have moved the something, why do I always have to find the something, do I have to do everything, around here?
Nearly all of my friends have confessed to doing this with their partners, especially in the early weeks of having a baby.
After the snapping, cue the shame (especially after realizing that I'd moved the something I'd been asking him to find).
Why do we do this, if we know better? Why do we snap at the one person who's on our team, who's on our side, who just wants everything to work out for us?
Sometimes, my husband would do things like clean the kitchen and get the baby down, and then, there I'd be, seeing the one thing he'd forgotten or complaining about the one thing that didn't go smoothly.
Then I'd have another shame hangover–God, here I was, doing this again, and this time after he cleaned the whole kitchen AND got the baby down? What was wrong with me?
It's in these moments when you take yourself aside and sit yourself down for a little talk.
"My love," you say, "Nothing's wrong with you other than you're sleep deprived, and overwhelmed in a way that goes beyond those capital-S Stories you're always talking about–this is physical. Someone can only handle so much sleep-deprivation before things just start shutting down. Breathe, hon."
"My love," you remind yourself, "It's really hard to not to know what the hell you're doing. It's hard when the baby cries because you love her so much–way down deep in places that you've never loved anyone, before, and it's raw and vulnerable and when she cries, all you want in the world is to have an answer, to just know what to do."
"My love," you say, "when you don't know what to do, the defenses come back up as a means of coping. Anger is a defense. It's an old one. It's a survival mechanism. You can choose to use it, if you like, but I only want to (gently) remind you: it doesn't work. You know this. You know this to your bones."
The Fear of Alone
I realized why I was snapping at him, again, on a random Wednesday. He came home early from work and immediately gave me a big smile and said, "Want me to take the baby while you go out and get some time for yourself?"
He didn't ask for a thing for himself. He was just excited to be home and eager to support me in getting a break and enthusiastic about spending time with his daughter. Our daughter.
It had been an easy day with the baby; his coming home early had been a surprise. When he walked in, I was in the midst of playing with our daughter and she was looking up at me, smiling. It felt like a gift on top of a gift.
Later, driving home after some time out, I clearly understood that I do this thing, this pinchy, snippy, irritated thing, because in those moments when I snap at him, I feel I am alone. I live in the Story that I am Kate, Alone With This Dilemma Of Figuring It All Out Alone.
Alone on top of alone, the worst kind.
It's not a true Story. It's just the one that's oldest, the one I'll reach for most easily. That's what we do–we reach for what is easiest when we are tired.
I came home; I gave him a hug; I apologized and cried. Instead of using it as an opportune moment to really let me know how shitty I'd been, he pulled me close and hugged me.
We create our fears, and we act from there. Later, I thought this to myself, as I tucked into bed beside a man who loves me and loves our baby.
I thought, "This is what contentment looks like. Contentment is not creating the fear by perpetuating the story." Lights out, I snuggled next to my man under the covers, and we went to sleep.
the truth about becoming "fearless"
In the Land of Internet, life coaches claiming that they know the secret to "kicking fear's ass" and " becoming fearless " and "fearless living" or "living fearlessly" or "living life without fear" (the iterations are endless) can seem almost as common as space bar key strokes.
I'm always curious when I see their sales pages: do any of their clients actually ask them, perhaps as part of the initial consult to decide to work together, the tough questions with these claims?
For instance, what if a potential client actually asked: "Are you honestly saying that you never experience fear? Never, ever? Not even a little bit? Are you truly telling me that you are 'fearless' and that you know how to teach others to be 'fearless,' and that if I work with you, I'll never experience fear?"
Would these coaches cop to the (very human) truth, and change their sales pages?
Fearless vs. Fear, Less
In my own work, I don't promise "fearless."
Here's what I can help you with:
- Fearing, less.
- Getting to the root of fearful Stories that you tell yourself.
- Not hating your fear.
- Not letting feelings of fear stop you from going after what you want.
- Reframing your relationship to fear.
- Healing the core wounds that make the fearful voices get so loud and scary.
- Helping your inner critic (the fear) communicate its needs to you in a way that is more respectful.
I won't promise you "fearless"–I will, however, avow that I can help people to "fear, less."
There is a wide expanse between "fearless" and "fear, less."
"Fearless" is the domain of perfectionism. It's striving. It's putting all of your energy towards some fantasy state.
"Fear, less" is reality. Fear doesn't have to control your life. Fear can be understood, and the wounds that create the fear can be healed. You can learn how to "fear, less" when you embark on your next bold life move.
You cannot escape fear, entirely. It will come up again and again, in different forms, as you push against the edges of this life experience.
If you're a life coach, you get to choose how honest you'll be with your clients about who you are and the very human experience of working with fear. Your biggest qualification as a life coach is not a lack of fear, but rather how powerfully you work through fear when it arises.
If you're a client, you get to choose who you'll spend money to work with. Choosing to bypass those who make audacious claims is a beautiful first step in the direction of critical thinking and claiming your power.
Again–you cannot escape fear, entirely.
What's more? That's okay.
Would you want it, anyway?
Consider this: If "fearless" were even possible, would you really want to be "fearless," anyway?
I frequently think that wanting to avoid fear altogether is a form of trying to "check out" of life. Fear is uncomfortable, but the things that are uncomfortable in life are not meant to be avoided, at all costs.
The price you pay for avoiding discomfort is that all of your energy goes into trying to control life so that you don't have to experience the discomfort. That is its own prison.
When you start working with fear differently, fear has a curiously enlivening quality. Instead of being what keeps you down, the experience of fear becomes something that is both thrilling and terrifying. It's terrifying because it's uncomfortable, but it's thrilling because it's showing you where there's something that you deeply desire. It's thrilling because it makes you wake up, pay attention.
In other words–when the experience of fear controls your life? That's a problem. And by all means, if fear is running your life, stop sitting on your hands and do something about it.
But–if fear is showing up, at all? That's just…normal. It's part of life. It's part of taking risks.
If you use it as a wake-up call to pay attention? That's enlivening. It's cluing you in to your next big adventure.
It breaks down to this simple equation:
"Fearless" = deadening.
"Fear less" = fully alive.
From there, it's all about what you choose.
applying core desired feelings to parenthood
Freedom. It's not only one of my deepest personal values, it's also one of my Core Desired Feelings (CDFs).
As someone who finds it deeply, deeply important to walk her talk, the question of how I would live out my truest values and deepest desires as I walked through parenthood was on my mind even before I was pregnant.
Freedom. I desire to feel a sense of freedom in every domain of my life–in my relationships, with my money, in how I schedule my time, with creativity and career.
But having a kid? Every parent I ever heard talking about parenthood described things that felt anything but "free." They described lack of sleep and barely having time to eat; epic crying sessions and every single shirt covered in spit-up.
Every person I knew who consciously chose not to have kids cited "lack of freedom" as their reason why. They wanted to pick up and travel at a moment's notice. They wanted to pursue career ambitions. They wanted to spend money on decor, not daycare.
They knew that having children, much as they supported others doing so if that called to them, would scale those things back.
So how would I reconcile having a child with my deepest CDFs? How would I create "freedom" in that experience?
Honey, It's Time to Walk That Talk
Before I was pregnant and when I was still contemplating children, the answer to that question was this: the idea of never having a child felt completely wrong.
While having a child might mean releasing some freedom, not having one felt like straight-jacketing my future to something that wasn't really, truly "me." That certainly didn't feel like "freedom."
Furthermore, having a child resonated with most of my other CDFs: sacred connection, sensuous delight, powerful.
So, step one: I felt grounded in knowing that of the two options, kid or no kid, I did want to have a child and start a family.
Then, as pregnancy slowly began to limit my options–drastically reduced caffeine, no more triathlon training, my entire wardrobe relegated to the back of my closet as my stomach expanded ever-bigger–I kept returning to this question of how I would integrate "freedom" into my life. Being pregnant, I was already feeling "less than free."
On Facebook, in grocery stores, at restaurants, people followed their congratulations with a litany of all the things I'd "never" be able to do, again. I'd never sleep well, again. I'd never be able to go out for an evening without hiring a babysitter, again. I'd never get my body back. I'd never know ease.
They made having children sound like nothing but chaos and worry.
And then the baby arrived. In the first few weeks, I really never expected that I would feel a sense of "freedom," anyway. Most of the time, I felt blissed out, excited to hold her, craving the smell of her and the feeling of her small body in my arms.
After about a month, it began to creep in: a longing for long afternoons spent writing, a leisurely evening at a restaurant, eight hours straight of sleep.
Following the longing, the flashes of resentment. Another bottle? Another diaper change? She's up, already? But she just went down for a nap!
Focus on the Freedom
You might have found yourself in this sort of situation, before: you tell yourself, "Here's how I want to live. I'm going to [be more patient; be more compassionate; focus on gratitude; etc.]."
Then a frustrating day happens, or a series of them. You're feeling pushed to your absolute limits. You're exhausted with the very process. You're asking yourself, "When is this going to get easier?" and sensing that the answer to this question is, "It won't. This is what it is."
In those spaces, it feels as if there really are no options. You want to reach for something different, but everything that seems to be available is something really, really challenging.
That's the point I hit, when my focus became noticing the freedom inherent in what I already had.
In my pre-baby days, I could "create freedom." I could look at my multitude of options, and choose the one that felt most aligned with my CDF of freedom.
Having a baby, I find, requires a slightly different strategy. I have lots of options, sure, but most of them are not really compatible with where my daughter is at, right now. Ditching diaper duty to dine at a Zagat-rated restaurant, for instance, is a wholly incompatible choice with the love that I have for my daughter and my commitment to demonstrate that love through giving her truly impeccable care.
But I can focus on freedom, to amplify the freedom that already exists.
In other words, it's all there. Instead of waiting for "freedom to happen to me" so that I could appreciate it, or instead of trying to "create" freedom out of thin air, there's this twist: freedom is here, it's just about whether or not I'll notice it.
For example: Every time I do feel well-rested (and there are days where that happens), I can celebrate that. I can notice how freeing it is on that particular day to feel "well-rested" in my bones, as opposed to going to the future and wondering how I can jerry-rig the situation to see if I can make that kind of night happen, a second time.
In other words: when life is tough, and you're going, "Whatever it is that I want to cultivate just isn't something I can orchestrate, right now," chances are good that if you get creative, you'll find some little sliver of what you desire that's already here.
Once you discover that sliver of delicious desire, you focus on it. By focusing on it, you amplify the good feelings associated with it.
Then you feel more of what you desire to feel.
The Most Powerful Choice
Really, this is the most powerful choice that we can make. It's more powerful to look at what's already showing up and make something beautiful out of those circumstances, than it is to tell ourselves the old story of happiness arising when all of the planets align.
The reason this is such a powerful choice isn't just that we get to live beautifully, which is your birthright. The reason it's powerful is because the locus of your power is centered solely within yourself when you make that kind of a choice, not something external.
In The End
I dislike "happily ever after" stories told by self-help types (and I'm an admitted self-help type). This is not a "happily ever after." This is a day-to-day-to-day. Sometimes, it's really hard.
But other times? Many times? More and more and more often? It's getting easier. When you look for what you want to find, you often find it.
Stop hoping that what you desire is looking for you. Get crackin' on looking around and opening your eyes a little wider. You might be stunned into ecstasy by what you discover.

Connoisseurs' Guide to California Wines(From 2005 Vintage) Here is a big, potent Fume that is rife with both very deep fruit and loads of varietal herbs, and its generous mix of melons and grass is framed with very evident oak. Full and close to oily in feel, it has the weight and richness of Chardonnay but is solidly and unmistakably Sauvignon Blanc from beginning to end.

"My first order with tiny prints. I am very impressed with the quality of the card and quick delivery time. Love that it is a reverent but colorful, modern design. I was able to personalize easily (liked the modern graphic but changed our names, church etc to have capital letters). I ordered the Azalea address labels and they coordinate very nicely."
"These cards were perfect for my son's baby dedication service. The scalloped edges are well worth a little extra ! This will be an invitation I cherish for years!"
"Tiny Prints did a wonderful job once again! The card was perfect for my son's 1st communion. Great quality paper and printing. They arrived on time:)"
"I just got these in the mail and they were even prettier in person. I got the pearl shimmer paper and I have had nothing but compliments from everyone that got the invite in the mail. The only thing that I was upset about was how much more it cost to mail them because I picked the bigger size but they did warn me there might be a more postage needed. This wasn't something they had control over. Beautiful Card Definitely a MUST HAVE!!!"
"I am very pleased with this invitation for my son's communion. It is simple, classic, and easy to read. Good job, again...Tiny Prints!"

Historical event magnifies study abroad experience
The Global Education Program is popular at Saint Mary's and for good reason. Study abroad provides exposure to other languages and cultures, opportunities to learn new customs in a total-immersion experience, and transforms our students into global citizens. And when historic events like the naming of a new pope occur, the study abroad experience is magnified.
In the right place, at the right time
For several days in March, Catholics from around the world gathered at Saint Peter's Basilica in Vatican City to await the election of a new pope, providing Saint Mary's students studying in Rome with a unique experience. "Just seeing the different types of people from so many different places in the world coming to Rome to support the conclave and the new pope was amazing," says Lauren Osmanski '15.
As Catholics everywhere waited for the chimney to emit white smoke, signaling the selection of a new pope, Victoria Wilbraham '15 was in front of Saint Peter's. "Watching the white smoke rise was by far one of my greatest moments from this trip. For as long as I live, I will never forget that moment and never forget how blessed I was to be there," says Victoria.
Experiential learning at its best
College is about learning, yes, but learning is more than what you glean from lectures and textbooks. Studying in a foreign country provides a learning experience unlike any you'll find in the classroom. "It gives you a chance to discover things about yourself and things about the world that you would never be able to unless you are put out of your comfort zone a bit," says Alexandria Charter '15. Study abroad students aren't left to wander alone in a foreign country; Saint Mary's has decades of experience sending students to learn in another land. "The program is centered around the students and making sure each student gets the most out of their experience. It is a very personal and enriching program," says Lauren.
The activities available to study abroad students can be transformational. Imagine holding a koala in Australia, studying the diverse biology of Ecuador, practicing taekwondo in Korea, or exploring social justice issues in South Africa. "[Studying abroad] gives you the opportunity to have a different perspective on the world and exposes you to so many incredible experiences that ultimately change you for the better," says Anna Ulliman '15.
International experience for your future
Open to all majors, study abroad programs can fit into your major or an interest outside your major. And, there are summer and spring break programs in addition to full semesters abroad. In today's shrinking global community, international experience gained through time abroad proves invaluable when searching for a job or applying to graduate programs. No matter what your major is, or what career you choose, you will need to know how to relate to people from cultures outside of your own, and studying abroad is great practical experience that will impress in an interview.
Living and learning in another country provides our students with the opportunity to practice communicating with people from all over the world. Of course, they also make some great memories: strolling down the block for a gelato with friends; riding a camel at the edge of the Moroccan desert; bending over backwards to kiss the Blarney Stone.
"There are moments when you walk down the street and it hits you, and I find myself taken aback and I think to myself, 'Wait, I'm in Rome,'" says Nora Clougherty '15.
These students were fortunate enough to witness a historical event while studying in Rome, and they'll take these memories, experiences, and knowledge with them wherever they travel next.

We used to plop ourselves down infront of the television after dinner, now we go for a half hour leisure stroll with the dog. It really makes it feel like the dinner doesn't sit so heavily with you.

I really find that housework is a great weight loss tool. For one you're moving I find that scrubbing sweeping vacuuming really get the heart rate up, plus I do tons of squats while cleaning the bottom of the toilet, dusting bottom shelves, etc.

Beekeeping Scholarships
If you are a practicing beekeeper or are interested in learning beekeeping, you may be interested to know that there are a number of scholarships available for beekeeping.
What is a Beekeeping Scholarship?
When it comes to scholarships, some of the most specialized, and perhaps some of the most interesting are beekeeping scholarships. Targeted specifically for individuals who have been practicing beekeeping or who are looking into practicing beekeeping, these scholarships can vary in the type, as well as in the amount of award offered.
Most beekeeping scholarships are offered by individual groups and organizations either on a local or on a regional level. Some of them are actual academic scholarships; monies offered to college or grad-school students who are studying apiculture (beekeeping) or sometimes animal husbandry. Others, however, cover the cost of tuition – not for a regular college or university, but for beekeeping courses and conferences that are offered at specialized schools, and many of the prizes include not only tuition to these courses, but prizes of bees and hives and equipment that can help the beginning beekeeper establish their business.
Some Popular Beekeeping Scholarships
The Foundation for the Preservation of Honey Bees offers scholarships to five graduate students each year who are studying apiculture. Scholarship amounts are $2,000 each. The Foundation also awards a number of student's free attendance to the annual North American Beekeeping Conference.
An example of a local scholarship for coverage of a course on beekeeping can be found in New Jersey. The NJBA (New Jersey Beekeepers Association) offers a scholarship to select students to cover the cost of a beekeeping course at a local college. Many states have programs such as this in place.
For those serious about studying the art of beekeeping, there are International Grants for undergraduate, graduate and PhD students to enable them to study abroad and learn some of the finer techniques of beekeeping; specifically beekeeping and how it can help to revitalize poverty stricken areas. The Beekeeping for Poverty Alleviation – Universiteit Gent: VLIR-UOS Scholarships are an example of this type of study program.

WoW! I guess anyone can go to college with the diversity of scholarships available. I can imagine some kids reading your blog will take up beekeeping to open one more door to a scholarship. This is so cool!

It is already possible to get SSH keys for a user from http://gitlab.com/{user}.keys
It would be nice, if it was also possible to get the keys of all users of a group with one request like http://gitlab.com/{group}.keys
This would help to set up the authorized_keys list of servers and could be exposed eaily.28 votes
We're accepting merge requests for this if you put them in /groups/{group}.keys
Syntax highlighting in editor while editing and creating files.
ACE already supports syntax highlighting through: getSession().setMode.

Option to compare specific files/directories in the compare view
The "Compare" tab now enables us to compare different revisions in the entire repository, but sometimes we need to compare only sub-directories or files.
Can you add the option to compare the revisions of a specific file/directory between different revisions/branches?48 votes

Andrea Bocelli, whose voice has transcended all languages and spoken to the hearts of millions around the globe, will perform "Because We Believe" from his platinum album "Amore" on the AMERICAN IDOL results show Wednesday, April 26 (9:00-9:32 PM ET live/PT tape-delayed) on FOX. On tomorrow's performance show (Tuesday, April 25, 8:00-9:00 PM ET live/PT tape-delayed), the finalists will sing classic love songs after receiving guidance from Bocelli and the Grammy-winning producer of "Amore," David Foster, and one of the contestants will sing one of Foster's songs. The show will feature highlights from the finalists' first meeting with Bocelli and Foster, who gave them advice as they prepared to perform their songs.
Born in the Tuscan countryside near Volterra, Italy, Bocelli was shaped by the region's traditions and his parents' insatiable thirst for their son's success. Opera greats such as Mario Del Monaco, Beniamino Gigli and Franco Corelli set a high standard for Bocelli, fueling his musical passion and increasing the intensity with which he pursued his dreams. In albums such as "Romanza," "Songo" and "Andrea," Bocelli brought his boyhood dreams of becoming a world-renowned singer to life. He became the top-selling classical recording artist in history, selling nearly 50 million albums worldwide to date.
"Amore," Bocelli's newest release, was recorded under the Tuscan sky at his home studio. The album's concept came from "Amore" producers Foster and Humberto Gatica, and co-producer Tony Renis. The result is a pairing of some of the most beautiful love songs of the world with arguably the most romantic voice in the world. Featuring guest performances by Christina Aguilera, Stevie Wonder and Kenny G, "Amore" also includes the classic "Besame Mucho," the Olympic theme "Because We Believe" and a heartfelt rendition of "Can't Help Falling In Love."
Producer and songwriter Foster is a 14-time Grammy Award winner with an unprecedented 43 Grammy nominations. Over the course of a stellar three-decade career, he also has received seven Juno Awards, an Emmy Award and three Oscar nominations. He has worked with some of the biggest names in the music industry, including Barbra Streisand, Josh Groban, Celine Dion, Whitney Houston, Madonna, *NSYNC, The Corrs and Natalie Cole.
Fourteen-time Emmy-nominated AMERICAN IDOL is created and executive-produced by Simon Fuller, founder of 19 Entertainment; and executive-produced by Cecile Frot-Coutaz, CEO, FremantleMedia North America, Inc.; Nigel Lythgoe, President, 19 Television; and Ken Warwick, Executive Producer, FremantleMedia North America, Inc.

Tracks the race-to-the-deadline scramble of a personable young designer preparing an underfunded fashion show, but offers few threads that were not already more solidly and stylishly woven into "Unzipped," "Seamless" or "11 Hours."
Don't let the generic title fool you: David John Swajeski's documentary tells a story you're unlikely to forget.
An uplifting story to be sure, but director-producer David Swajeski doesn't do it justice.

The 1970s was the golden age of British television for so many reasons,
not least because it was a time when television executives still
assumed their viewers were intelligent enough to watch somebody sitting
in a chair and speaking at length, without the need for regular
interruptions and jokes from the interviewer. Michael Parkinson, unlike
today's chat show hosts, was not a comedian, he was a journalist, and
his talent was simply for researching his subjects and showing an
interest in what they had to say. The remarkable thing about Parkinson
was the variety of the guests. His abilities as an interviewer meant
that he was able to successfully deal with guests as different as
raconteurs (Kenneth Williams, Peter Ustinov), poets (John Betjeman),
authors (Leslie Thomas), musicians (Duke Ellington) and scientists
(Jacob Bronowski). Parkinson never dominated the show, he was quite
happy to let the guests do that. As a result, he gave British
television its greatest chat show, a standard that most subsequent chat
shows didn't even bother to attempt.
In the 1970s the big stars rarely gave interviews, there were three television channels and no videos, DVDs or Internet. Parkinson had provided a rare opportunity to see these people. Clearly, things could not be the same when, in 1998, the BBC decided to resurrect the series, 16 years since it had ended. A great deal had changed in television over that period. As the 1990s progressed, the talk show increasingly became the domain of comedians as hosts: Jonathan Ross, Clive Anderson, Frank Skinner and Graham Norton. As such, chat shows became more lightweight and more about the host than the guest. Also, with the explosion of the media in the 1980s and 1990s, another effect was the decline in the meaning of celebrity. The revival of Parkinson lasted for nearly ten years but, unfortunately, the show was dying a slow death, with the man all too often having to interview celebrities so minor that you couldn't have made them up in the 1970s: Trinny & Susannah, Simon Cowell, Sharon Osbourne and Gordon Ramsay for examples. As hard as he tried, Parkinson could never convince me that he was as interested in these people as the great stars of the original series. I certainly wasn't.
In fairness, when he had a good guest he was still better than anyone else. One of his greatest abilities was to interview celebrities who are instinctively private and dislike the spotlight on themselves as subjects. He was better than anyone else at making these stars feel comfortable and able to talk, with Rowan Atkinson and Bobby Charlton being prime examples. I actually think that from what I have seen, only his contemporaries David Frost and Melvyn Bragg rival Parkinson in this regard.
Parkinson has now wrapped up his chat show. He has said himself that his show was the last survivor of the talk shows based on conversation. Now, all we have are the comedy shows based on the American format. In some ways it's a shame, in other ways it isn't. Most of the really fascinating stars are now dead or very, very old. Very few modern stars captivate the attention for very long, as Parkinson found in the last few years. Because even Parkinson couldn't make people interesting if they simply weren't.

The Ebola outbreak in West Africa won't be stopped until frontline health workers get more support, said World Health Organization Director-General, Dr. Margaret Chan, on Friday at a press conference in Geneva.
After a unanimous vote by a committee of public health and risk management experts, the WHO decided to declare the outbreak an international public health emergency.
The outbreak is an international issue, Dr. Chan said. Stopping the outbreak — and limiting its spread — will require the cooperation and coordination from countries around the world, not just those affected or nearby.
The declaration is a "a clear call for international solidarity," Chan said. But it "by no means, implies that all countries, or that many countries, will see Ebola cases," she added.
So far, there have been more than 1,700 cases of Ebola and 900 deaths since the outbreak reached international attention in March.
Almost all cases have been in three nations: Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia. And the virus is moving faster than efforts to stop it in these countries, Chan said. The shortage of health care workers is one of the main reasons why.
"The three countries that are most affected by Ebola disease are countries that have very weak health system capacity," she said. They don't have enough doctors, nurses or even basic equipment, such as gloves and protective suits.
Ebola spreads through direct contact of bodily fluids, such as blood, saliva and vomit. So protective equipment is essential for stopping the virus' chain of transmission.
"While Ebola is infectious," said the WHO's Assistant Director-General, Keiji Fukada, "it can be stopped."
The WHO is not recommending any travel or trade bans to any countries, despite the fact that a sick man spread Ebola to Nigeria a few weeks ago through air travel.
Patrick Sawyer, a Liberian-American businessman, flew to Nigeria's capital, Lagos and collapsed in the airport. Before he died at a Lagos hospital, Sawyer had spread the virus to several people. Now the country has recorded nine cases.
The risk of spreading Ebola through flights is minimal, Chan says. And shutting down travel to Sierra Leone, Guinea and Liberia would severely hurt their economies, she added.
The WHO is meeting next week to discuss the possible use of experimental drugs in the outbreak. There are no treatments approved for Ebola. But a few medicines are being developed.
Two American aid workers received one of these experimental drugs, called ZMapp, in Liberia last month after they fell ill. They are the only known people to be treated with the drug. And the decision to give them it has sparked a fierce debate around why these treatments weren't tried earlier or with African patients.
"The problem is that these drugs are not approved for widespread use," Fukada said. "And they are available in only small quantities."
This raises a host of questions, he said, including who should get the drug and whether testing out unproven therapies is ethical in these situations.
"In the past, the Ebola outbreaks have been relatively small and isolated," Fukada said. "It has not been enough to lead to the development of vaccines and medicines."

What is one interesting fact about your country that you want foreigners to know about your country?
Well, this a good question. I live in Brazil, so I guess I don't even need to say how we are known abroad. I believe culture shows our strongest characteristic, such as Folklore and Carnival. However, I would like the foreigners know more about other good musical rhythm from here...like Bossa Nova, Blues and so on...
I decided to post this discussion question when I recently remembered when my mother told me of a Brazilian man she met while walking El Camino de Santiago in Spain. The Brazilian man was a truck driver, and he was very proud to say that he has visited every continent in the world, and would very soon be able to say he visited almost every country in the world. But, he openly admitted to my mother that he decided he would never visit the United States.
When my mother asked him why, he responded by saying he was afraid of all the people with guns here.
My mother feels like I do about guns in the United States; guns and gun owners make her feel uncomfortable. But she was very sad to hear of this experienced traveler's worries about visiting our country. I was also sad to hear of this.
My mother and I agreed that his worries were understandable, but they were not entirely accurate.
My country has been in the news a lot lately about our high rate of gun ownership and because of how easy it is to purchase a weapon in the United States. Even though many US citizens legally own guns, most people who live here do not own a gun, and most of those who do keep their weapon in their homes and do not bring it with them in public.
Personally, the large number of guns here makes me uncomfortable. But, I have lived in the United States my entire life and I have never been a victim of a crime committed with a weapon. Furthermore, despite the prevalence of guns here, it is very rare to ever see an average citizen (not a police officer) with a gun in public. And the areas where tourists are known to visit usually have more security than non-tourists areas.
My Interesting Face About the United States (and Americans)
If you ever want to visit the United States, you should not worry about becoming a victim of a gun-related crime. Most Americans do not own guns, and it is rare that a tourist would ever see an American with their gun in public.
Oh yeah??! Steve, is it true? Oh my..! America slowly degrades in my eyes. Narcotic is narcotic.:(
Hi,I'm come from Italy,but I live in Irleand.
Sorry for my english,I'm here for improve it.
Well,about Italy one of things that most people thing is that Italy it's just the country of pizza and mafia.
It's true that the Italian's food it's one of the best of the world,but it's sad be remembered for the mafia's story and to be famous for to have "exported" the mafia around the world,above all,in the USA.
