Did you wake up this morning wondering what the Footloose remake was going to look like? Then today is your lucky day.
MTV Films unleashed to the masses the new poster of its upcoming remake of the Kevin Bacon classic, along with new stills featuring star Kenny Wormald. And if those weren't enough to get you dancing, MTV is planning to release the trailer for the movie later today.
Footloose redux hits theaters Oct. 14. It also stars Julianne Hough and Dennis Quaid, who takes over the Rev. Shaw Moore character from John Lithgow. Andie MacDowell plays Quaid's wife. Will it live up to the movie that made Bacon a star?
And in six degrees news, today we also get a poster for Crazy Stupid Love with Bacon. Steve Carell headlines the movie, with a cast that also includes Ryan Gosling, Julianne Moore, Emma Stone, and Marisa Tomei. (Based on the trailer, we're assuming the leg in the poster belongs to Tomei.)
Are we the only ones who get a little Graduate vibe from seeing Carrell behind a set of gams? The movie's buzz is white hot, with many predicting it to be a breakout hit.
The A-list-star-studded rom-com is about a 40-something guy (Carell) stunned by his wife's (Moore) desire for a divorce. He then gets back in the game with help from a studly 30-something wingman (Gosling).
Crazy Stupid Love opens July 29.

The Switch & Go Dinos SkySlicer the Allosaurus goes from airplane to dinosaur in just a few easy steps. In dino mode, you can select the eyes you want, push the buttons on his back to hear different phrases or sounds, which include some fun dino facts, and listen as he stomps along. But that's only half the fun. With a few easy turns, he can be turned into an airplane, which switches both his speech and his sounds, and you can pick a pilot to fly with. In both modes there are more than 50 different sounds and phrases.
VTech's Switch & Go Dinos have proven very popular with kids. These ingenious toys combine two of kids' favorite play patterns—vehicles and dinosaurs. These fun and whimsical creatures offer a lot of creative play opportunities. The transformation is easy to do, and kids will have fun with both the physical transformation and the imaginative fun the two characters inspire.
Switch & Go Dinos SkySlicer the Allosaurus is for ages 3–8.
The toy takes two AAA batteries, which are included for try-me purposes. For best results, replace them when you get home.

Prince William Royal Wedding Date on April 29: Wedding Gift Ideas for the KitchenJennifer Savor the Thyme
Now that the Royal Wedding Date of Prince William and Kate Middleton has been announced for April 29th at the Westminster Abbey, many may have wedding gifts on their mind.
When engaged couples think about what they would like for Weddings Presents, Housewares and Kitchen items are the majority of the gifts on the list.
*Coffee Maker: These days everyone wants a single cup coffee maker from companies such as Breville and Keurig
*Toaster: A nice stainless steel 4 slice toaster will make breakfast easier for the newlyweds
*StandMixer: Every home seems to have a stand mixer these days, with KitchenAid being the top choice for many.
*A China place setting is a no-brainer although not as functional as a a set of dishes for every day use.
*A food processor may be getting rusty in some homes but I find it indispensable.
*Cutlery: Every couple needs good knives and these days the trend is away from the big butcher block sets and more about a few quality pieces.
And last but not least, the Newlywed's Cookbook would probably be a great book for the couple to start their cookbook collection and will always hold a special place in their heart. Available at Crate & Barrell

One of the best things about jail as opposed to prison is that your chances of getting raped there are significantly lower by comparison. That's not to say it can't happen. And really, that's not to say that a six-foot-five, 230-pound member of Tacoma's Hilltop Crips might not be the one to do it.
The alleged rapes (three total) went down last May in Pierce County Jail, where 38-year-old Bonds was celled up with man who was there briefly on a DUI rap.
Bonds, as is his wont, was awaiting felony charges stemming from a gang roundup of Hilltop Crips, which later saw him plead guilty to riot and conspiracy to commit a drive-by shooting charges and receive five years in prison.
Each of the three rapes allegedly occurred late at night, when the guards had put the cells on lockdown for the night.
Pierce County Sheriff's spokesman Ed Troyer tells Seattle Weekly that cells where inmates are bunked two per room (as Bonds and the alleged victim were) have panic buttons that alert guards to problems. Besides that, he says that inmates can simply tell guards about problems like impending or in-progress rapes with some more unorthodox methods.
"They can also send kites," he says, referring to the small pieces of paper on a string that inmates usually reserve for each other (see any episode of Lockup). "Also, they can just tell a guard, 'Look I got a problem, I need to get out of here,' and it'll be taken care of."
Charging documents say that the reason the victim never hit the panic button or told a guard was because Bonds threatened to "break his neck" if he did--a reasonably compelling argument.
Troyer could only recall one other incident of rape at the facility in the recent past and is working on confirming the exact amount.
In the meantime, Bonds is back in Pierce County Jail, having been transferred from prison to wait for his court appearance.
And perhaps in an effort to preserve his reputation with his Crip homies, he penned a letter to jail staff saying that he "practically grew up in this jail and being sexually involved with another man is totally out of the question for me."
I mean, call him a rapist all you want, but Andre L. Bonds is most certainly not gay.

I'm just curious what everyone is choosing, we haven't found out what we are having yet.. So I'm still throwing ideas around. All I know is Kyle is the middle name after my DF :)
For all you ladies having boys..
Bentley Miguel and Gabriel Antonio
Both middle names are a form of my husbands first and middle :)
Married my highschool sweetheart in 2008, together since 2000!!
I'm too nervous to share my names before the baby comes, maybe superstition or fear that someone will steal it. All I know is that neither boy name I have picked out is on the list. We'll be naming him (if it's a boy) after DH's grandpa and mine.
My son is Samuel Alejandro!
Felix Henry arrived February 8, 2013!
Jessica & Brad <3 4/9/11
Easton 9/3/10
Kylee Blaire due 2/6/12
Happily married to my DH
Mommy to DS, Micah James (9/25/09)
Expecting Jeremiah Paul, EDD: 2/1/13
Since hubby and I {somewhat} agreed on a girl's name, I figured we would have a boy...which we are. We cannot seem to agree. I am in love with the names Connor and Ethan. DH really likes Nathaniel. We both like Wyatt, but our last name is Walton and feel like the full name Wyatt Robert Walton might be too much of a tongue twister (I don't think so, but DH and family do). Middle name is definitely Robert (both of our dad's first names). Our list is currently Connor, Daniel, Justin, Nathaniel, Ethan, Jordan. Hopefully we'll nail down a name soon...I'm checking the posts on here for inspiration ;)
06/20/09: Married HS Sweetheart
02/15/13: EDD for Baby #1
I found out 9/12 there was no denying our second boy. We "wanted" a girl but there was zero disappointment when I saw boy parts. We just want a baby!

Michael Jackson's Aide Stole $20 Million From Kids!?Josh Loposer
Ughhh, drama springs eternal in the aftermath of Michael Jackson's death. Now, word has it that Prince Michael, Paris and Blanket might miss out on a $20M life insurance payout because an aide was apparently too busy Twittering to renew MJ's policy. Ooops!
Or worse, the Telegraph is reporting that the family suspects foul play (as usual). Supposedly, the Jacksons may be taking legal action against the aide, who they think was pocketing the money instead of paying the premiums.
Either way, it looks like the kids are most likely going to miss out on Michael's huge insurance payout. I bet Michael is rolling over in his grave right now.
According to family friend, Dr Steven Hoefflin:
"The family have told me that, utterly unbelievably and horrifyingly, one of his aides did not keep up with payments in the last months of his life. They believe he was pocketing the money," he told The Sun.
"This was hugely important to him it was money for his children. The family are furious and they are now seeking a lawsuit against the person believed responsible.
"It is incredible, and just stands of further proof of the levels of deception and incompetence of the sharks that surround Michael."
I guess we should hope that the aide was stealing, that way the family could seek compensation from the thieving aide. If it was sheer incompetence, I think it's probably a total loss.

I have developed a simple file sharing application in java using TCP socket. Now, the question is how do i make this application P2P? Can Distributed Hash Table (DHT) do that or there are other options that i can implement in my application to make it P2P? I have been trying to get ideas on this for a long time but i only get more confused. Please help.
I develop a simple P2P file sharing application in java too,but i find it hard . If you write it in java . You can search for Vuze or jBittorrent , which may help you develop it faster.
Based upon your description it sounds like you have already created a simplistic P2P application. If you are looking for the next step I would setup a DHT server (bamboo). Next, modify your original application to get a list of available files from the DHT instead of connecting directly to the other peers for file lists.
The Forest platform which is in early development is targeting applications like your. You might want to take a look at it.
The only problem is that it is still in development and is not yet usable. I advise you to keep an eye on it and try to use it once it reaches it first release.
EDIT to answer the comment under your question:
Your application would need to connect the some peers. Depending on how you choose them (random people or know contacts), you are using respectively a peer-to-peer ('p2p') network or a friend-to-friend ('f2f') network.
Forest is providing applications a f2f network, but application are free to route messages on the top of this network to achieve (anonymous) p2p.
For a classical p2p network, you would need to connect a DHT, and you would need to bootstrap to it via a (or some) server(s) which take part in the DHT.
In general, p2p application are not so simple to do, and you will need to deal with a lot more details here and there. If you really want to experiment with them, you can go to check existing DHT libraries and see how they work. You might first want to go to read the article on Wikipedia about Kademlia which is the base for the most used DHT algorithms.

Like any respectable music festival, Decibel neither encourages nor condones drug use. And, like at any respectable music festival, people are going to do drugs anyway. My last couple reports from Decibel have examined some of electronic music's defining myths and true characteristics--the notion that that it isn't real live music (handily debunked by Shigeto, AraabMuzik, and others); its fundamental tension between the body-moving functionalism of "tracks" and audio/visual FX versus more traditionally structured pop songcraft (nicely illustrated by Amon Tobin and Ladytron). But probably no impression of "rave" culture is as widespread as the notion that it's also at its core a drug culture.
Miracles Club: great even if you're straight...yeah
Of course, this is true and it isn't. I've known straight-edge or teetotaling ravers (on both sides of the decks) since I was in high school, and you don't have to be high to enjoy electronic music any more than performing the stuff is just pushing a button. (Decibel and Seattle's homegrown electronic scene can seem especially sober sometimes, more the domain of fastidious off-duty Microsoft programmers than of drug-fueled revelers.)
On the other hand...Like many a scene before it, electronic music has had a long, fruitful, and sometimes tempestuous love affair with mind-altering chemicals. In his pioneering study of 90s rave culture, Energy Flash (Generation Ecstasy in the US), music critic Simon Reynolds observes that Ecstasy has enjoyed an especially synergistic relationship with techno:
"All music sounds better on E--crisper and more distinct, but also engulfing in its immediacy. House and techno sound especially fabulous. [...] [The] Ecstasy-enhancing aspects latent in house and techno were unintended by their original creators and were discovered accidentally by the first people who mixed the music and the drug. But over the years, rave music ahs gradually evolved into a self-conscious science of intensifying MDMA's sensations."
So, you might have missed out on some experiences, or not done your utmost journalistic duty, if (say, like me) you were NOT on drugs at least on night of Decibel Festival.
You might not have fallen madly in love with Portland vocal house collective Miracles Club's live performance--on keys, drum machines, and microphone, abetted by two rad dancers perched atop barrels--at loft space the Woods in the pre-midnight hour on Friday. (Although, Donte Parks is always a reliable control group, and he had a good time.) You might not have dug their outfits--the bearish dude with his Keith Harring black-and-white squiggled sweatpants, the girl (Honey Owens of noise punks Jackie-O-Motherfucker) in stripes, the dancer in white parachute pants and a fez (fezzes are cool). You might not have "come up" and danced your ass off and sweated buckets to their set right through to the encore a friend told me was a Frankie Knuckles cover, complete squealing sequenced saxophone. (The band, after their set: "you're really great dancers! They don't do this in Portland!"). You might not have felt kind of sorry for the Woods' Saturday night regulars--girls in dresses and high heels and bros in caps all looking a little confused at the Paradise Garage that sprung up where they'd expected a hip hop night. Real talk tho: Miracles Club's voguers and sweat and dancing beats 100 Amon Tobin cubes.
You might not have flashed back to two years ago (when Carl Craig and Audion positively burned down Neumos) when Egyptrixx dropped the latter's strafing, dive-bombing synth workout "Kisses" into his already excellent set of dark, blurry techno spiked by hard-riding squeals of feedback. You might not have been more impressed by the ice cool water down the street at the Baltic Room than by Hannsen's fine, lively deep house set (to be fair: WATER IS AWESOME). Your notes might not have gone indecipherable during Martyn's smart, subtly shifting tech house grooves, and you might not have felt antsy during his set's long wind-down and few false stops. You might not have stayed up waaaaay too late dancing to at the after-party, or bagged off the next two days to go misty at a friend's wedding. And of course you should feel ashamed of yourself--but there's always next year!

Jan. 15, 2010 - Army Family Action Plan
January 19, 2010
General George William Casey, Jr.
AFAP Conference
15 January 2010
General Casey: Hi! I love this group. There is so much energy. I can hardly wait to hear the top five. [Laughter].
It is great to be here. Suzie Schwartz, Beth Chiarelli, thanks. Thank you for what you do.
This has been kind of a journey for me. I came down here in 2003 as the Vice Chief, and with the exception of two years while I was in Iraq, I've made it down here every year. This program gives us great impetus to drive the family programs that we've been trying to drive here as an Army really for over the decades. We're very glad to have Suzie Schwartz, the Chief of Staff of the Air Force's spouse with us. The Air Force is just as committed to taking care of their Airmen as we are [of our Soldiers].
What I'd like to do today is give you a little context for the next year so you can see how these family programs are going to fit into the broader scope of what the Army's going to be doing in 2010. Then, I'm going to ask [BG] Rhonda Cornum to come up and talk to you a little bit about the Comprehensive Soldier Fitness Program. It really is a Comprehensive Soldier and Family Fitness Program, and today--much to General Cornum's good luck--the family version of the [Global] Assessment [Tool] is actually on-line and available, and I think some of you have taken that [assessment]. If what we did with the Soldier program holds true, it's going to take a little feedback from you and some tweaking to get it where we want it, so that feedback has been very important.
Put up the one slide I have...I know a lot of you do the same thing. You sit down toward the end of the year or the beginning of the year, and you figure out what the heck you need to get done in the next year. We've been going through that process here in the Army. And these are the six major objectives that the Secretary and I want to accomplish this year.
I'm going to talk to you about the top three. The bottom three are really uniform stuff and I'd water your eyes with acronyms talking about that. Suffice it to say that we need to better manage ourselves and we're working on that. We're going to expand our leader development programs so that we can actually execute them while we're rotating Soldiers back and forth to Afghanistan, and we're going to significantly increase what we're doing for our Civilian workforce in terms of leader development.
Lastly, you know we've been transforming our Army while we've been fighting this war because we were a great Cold War Army in 2001. Over the last several years, we've been making good progress toward that. But really the intellectual work for the Army that we're designing took place in 2002 and 2003. As you can imagine, we've learned a heck of a lot more about what 21st Century operations are going to be like in the last five years. So now we have to take that knowledge and apply it to the Army.
Enough said about the last three. Let me talk about the first three, because I think those are the ones that have most direct impact on the things that we're doing here as Families.
First of all, I have been saying since 2007 that--as an Army--we are out of balance, and that we are so weighed down by our current demands that we can't do the things we know we need to do to take care of Soldiers and Families properly, and to prepare ourselves to do other things. In 2007, we executed a plan--as only the Army can do--to put ourselves back in balance by 2011. Wow, that's a long time. But--at the same time we're doing this--we're rotating 150,000 Soldiers over and back to Iraq and Afghanistan every year.
I will tell you: we have made great progress over the last two and a half years in our efforts to get back in balance, and with the drawdown in Iraq and with the growth [in the number of Soldiers] that we have made in the last several years, we will continue to make progress.
Frankly, I will just tell you, with the decision to draw down in Iraq, and with the decision to plus-up in Afghanistan--and, by the way, our portion of that 30,000 plus-up in Afghanistan is a little over 20,000--we will have greatest clarity over what our force requirements will look like for the next couple of years than we have had since the surge. That's a very, very good thing.
Now, what are some of the key elements of balance that we've been working on' One is growth. President Bush told us back in 2007 to increase the size of the Army by 74,000. Originally, that was going to be done in 2012. When I'd go into big auditoriums full of Family members and I'd say that to them, we're going to get bigger so you don't have to deploy more and we're going to get done in 2012, of course they'd look at me like you're looking at me: [Laughter] 'Tell me something that means something to me.'
With Secretary Gates' help, we moved that forward to 2010 and we actually finished [our growth] last year. All the components finished that last year. And even as we finished that, it was clear to us that that wasn't enough because we have about 10,000 Soldiers who are either in Warrior Transition Units or running Warrior Transition Units. We have another 10,000 Soldiers who are temporarily non-deployable because they've got that elbow or that shoulder or that knee fixed that they've been putting off for a couple of deployments and they can't go right now. And we have another 10,000 or so who are already deployed; they are on transition teams that are in headquarters. That's 30,000 total we couldn't put in units. So we were having difficulty filling the units to go.
So, we went back to the Secretary of Defense and asked that he let us continue to grow...He agreed to let us continue to grow another 22,000. So 74K and 22k, you're approaching 100,000 in the last several years. That's huge. And you should be starting to see the impact of that on the amount of time the Soldiers are away from home. It will only continue to get better. So we've made great progress. That's important.
The second thing I'm going to talk about the specific impact of the Afghan plus-up and Iraq drawdown when we get to that bullet.
The other things we've been doing is converting all our formations to modular organizations that are much better in the 21st Century. There are three hundred brigades in the Army. We've already done about 280. The rest will be done by 2011.
Then rebalancing: Taking Soldiers out of skills that were very beneficial in the Cold War, and moving them into fields more useful to us now. So we've got the right skills in the force. For example, we've taken down about 200 tank companies, artillery batteries, and air defense batteries, and we've stood up a corresponding number of Special Forces, civil affairs, and psychological operations. So we're getting the capabilities closer to what we really need.
The last part of this is base realignment and closure [BRAC]. You all have seen the impacts of that all across the Army. I can't go on an Army installation without seeing cranes. Yeah, there's a lot of turbulence ... but the output of that is usually improved facilities for our Soldiers and Families. That BRAC for us will affect 380,000 Soldiers and Family members over the next few years. But the quality of life that comes out of that is going to be much better.
Bottom line: we're on track to get ourselves back in balance by '11. I expect to continue to make great progress toward this goal over the next few years.
Second, the Afghan plus-up and responsible drawdown in Iraq: This is hugely important to you. We have just under 100,000 Soldiers in Iraq today. In eight months, we'll have half that; we'll have fewer than 50,000 Soldiers in Iraq. Eighteen months after that, there won't be any. I suspect there will be some Soldiers [there], but a relatively small number. You can already appreciate the impact that will have on the time that the Soldiers spend at home.
The other thing I mentioned was about our part of the Afghan plus-up, which is about 20,000. Because of the time it takes to deploy units into Afghanistan and because of the transportation requirements, when you lay that 20,000 over the Iraq drawdown, what you see is that we never have appreciably more forces deployed than we do today. So people think it's strange when we say we can accept this plus-up and still not have to go to 15-month deployments, or go to less than 12-months at home, and all-the-while continuing to come off stop loss. Stop loss is basically involuntarily forcing Soldiers to deploy. Starting the first of January, no Soldier has to deploy involuntarily. And we will continue that from now on.
This is a good news story.
The other part of this is dwell. We set goals for ourselves at the end of '11 to be at one-year-out, two-years-back for the active force; one-year-out, four-years-back for the Guard and Reserve. Even with the plus-up in Afghanistan, we meet that objective for 70 percent of the active force and 80 percent of the Guard and Reserve by the end of '11. And those that don't make it are in the 18 to 24 window. Those units will make it the next year.
Again, with a combination of the growth, and the drawdown in Iraq, we're going to continue to make good progress toward getting ourselves back in balance. And I will tell you, after doing this now for two and a half years, it's clear to me that the most important thing we can do to get ourselves back in balance is to increase the time that Soldiers are at home. We have done studies and demonstrated conclusively what we all intuitively know: it takes about two years at home to recover effectively from a year in combat. The Secretary of Defense and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs understand that, and are very supportive of our efforts to achieve our goals in '11 and '12. We're in good shape on that.
Now let me talk to you about the third bullet [on the slide]: Sustain Soldiers, Civilians and Families. That is part of getting ourselves back in balance. I have four imperatives: Sustain Soldiers, Civilians and Families; continue to Prepare Soldiers for success in the current conflict; Reset them effectively when they get back; and continue to Transform. This has been our major focus from the beginning.
There are a few things that I'm very interested in getting done this year. First is the Comprehensive Soldier Fitness [CSF] Program that I mentioned earlier. General Cornum is going to talk about it in a little detail here, but this is a program to provide our Soldiers--all of our Soldiers--all of our Family members, and all of our [Army] Civilians, the resilience and coping skills that will allow them to deal with the challenges that we're throwing at them. And it's designed also to enhance their performance and to make us all more capable.
CSF has four parts to it. First of all, there's an assessment tool--an on-line assessment tool. And, as I said, there's [now] one for the Families. It's been about 90 days behind the one for the Soldiers, and it's just come on-line today. You can go on-line in the privacy of your own home and take about a 20-minute assessment, and it will give you a strength rating in the five key dimensions of fitness: physical, emotional, social, family, and spiritual. It's a bar graph. You'll see where you stack up; it'll say you're strong here, strong here, and that you may need some work here. It will then allow you to connect to on-line self-help modules where you can get some points where you can help improve yourself.
Now the family modules are lagging a little bit. They'll be on-line a little bit later. But the Soldier modules are already on-line, and frankly, I don't think there's going to be that much difference.
The other element [of CSF] is that in every Army school--from Basic Training through the War College--our Soldiers and leaders will get progressive blocks of instruction on resilience.
And then lastly, we are growing Master Resilience Trainers, and our goal is to get a Master Resilience Trainer in every [battalion] in the Army by the end of this year. We already have almost 500 of those trained. Some Family members have actually gone up and attended the course.
The idea is to train these Soldiers to help other Soldiers build resilience. If you think about Master Fitness Trainers--some of you remember--we still have them. Hooah. Just like we can teach you how to do a good pushup, we can teach you some things that will help you be more resilient.
I believe this is hugely important because everything else we have is 'shooting behind the duck.' It's after the fact. With these [CSF] skills you can become more resilient. And so that's our goal: It's to get in front of problems and give you and the Soldiers the skills they need to move forward.
The second thing is the Army Family Covenant. What I've come to realize in my two and a half years as the Chief is when you start a new program, there's a lot of energy, right' Everybody goes out and says, 'hey, we're going to do this,' and you get it going. Then you turn your head and start working on something else and then the energy starts dissipating, right' So you have a plateau. About every year you've got to come back and boost it again. [Laughter]. Right'
We kind of did this with the Family Covenant. Everybody's doing great work, but I kind of got the impression last fall that we had plateau'ed. So we needed to just give it a little more juice here. I've charged General Lynch to be the juicer and move that forward. And those of you who know General Lynch--you know he is imminently qualified for that job. [Laughter].
So our intention is to continue with that.
Now you need to understand that we have already taken the money for these Family programs and put them in the base budget. It will not depend on the war funding. That's how serious we are. And we'll continue to put the right amount of money in there to do what it is we need to do.
The third element is 'Warriors in Transition'--treating our wounded warriors and improving their transition out of the Army or to whatever is coming after that. That's another one that we've made very good progress on. But, we need to take this to the next level, particularly focusing on smoothing the transition from the Army to the Veterans Administration or civilian life or into another Army job depending on wherever you want to go. We have some more work to do with that.
A fourth element is survivor outreach services. About 18 months ago, we started a program because--after five years of war--we realized that we were really doing just casualty assistance. Then, as the Secretary and I traveled around the Army and talked to the surviving spouses and family members, it was clear to us that they felt they were still part of the Army Family, and they wanted more interaction. And so we set out to try to expand the capability.
We just had a seminar and brought a lot of surviving Family members in from all over the Army--survivors not just from this conflict, but from others [as well]. What was clear to me in talking to them was that they'd never really had a voice. They'd never had someone out there really advocating for their services. Yes, there were some great actions in place outside the service, but they really hadn't had a voice. So we need to give them that voice. So that's another program we need to take to the next level.
The last element that I'm going to highlight for you is Family support to modular organizations. Earlier, I mentioned these modular organizations where you have a division headquarters, and it may be the case that all its brigades might not deploy with it. You get down to smaller units like companies and platoons that might not deploy with the battalion that they're with in garrison. There are a lot of second and third order effects associated with this situation. So, we need to think our way through a new family support paradigm for modular organizations. Like I said, we've learned by trial and error, but we need to codify some of those lessons so that we're more efficient as an operating force. I think some of you have some great insights on this, and that's one of the things we're going to try to bring together over the course of the next few months.
So those are the top three (of the six priorities) that I really wanted to talk about in a detailed context. The bottom line is: we have made good progress in our efforts to restore balance. We're not completely out of the woods yet, but I see us getting where we need to get by '11. And, as part of this 'Establish an Integrated Management System for Army Business Operations' [on the slide], we are aligning our support systems to support an Army operating on a rotational model. And that's a big internal change for us, but we're going to be operating on that particular model for a while. We have to. I would say within 90 days we will be able to lay out--and this will be about a 90 percent solution--who's going to deploy in FY11; who's going to deploy in FY12; who's going to deploy in FY13. So, we start getting some level of predictability and we start getting ourselves organized on a rotational model.
2011 is going to be a transition year. By 2012, we hope to have the rotational model cranked-up and running. We have to do that. Because of the demands in theater, for the first time, I see the possibilities of actually being able to execute that. It will be a heck-of-a lot better than what we've been living with for the last several years.
That's what I wanted to share with you.

For some of us, the appeal of celebrity gossip is the big scoop, the eye-popping scandal.
Harvey Solomon, the author of the day-by-day guide to high-profile marital unions, �Weddings/365� (365 Edge), is drawn to the details: the suitor who arranged to have a helicopter drop hundreds of red roses on his beloved�s estate, the engagement ring that flew out the window of a hotel in what may or may not have been a fit of pique.
�From the beginning of time, forever, people have always hung on the details of celebrities,� Solomon says. �It�s a touch of glamour. I think it�s even escapism � you get to look at something that�s intriguing and entertaining.�
We asked Solomon to share his favorite pieces of celebrity wedding trivia.
Michael Caine and Shakira Baksh (Jan. 8, 1973)
Have you ever seen a TV ad with a stunning actor or actress and thought, �Wow, I�d like to meet that person�? Funny, same thing happened to Michael Caine.
After seeing a Maxwell House coffee commercial, he called his agent. A few phone calls later, they�d tracked down Shakira Baksh.
�As he described it later, she walked into his apartment and into his life,� Solomon says. �They were married, and they celebrated their 40th anniversary this year.�
Ronald Reagan and Nancy Davis (March 4, 1952)
Which future American president walked down the aisle with a pregnant bride?
�Nancy was three months pregnant when she and Ronnie walked down the aisle,� says Solomon. The MGM movie studio didn�t mention that detail � in the staid 1950s, Reagan�s previous divorce was scandal enough. �There�s no way to hide it.,� he says. Less than eight "months after they were married, she gave birth, and the baby definitely wasn�t premature.��
Sarah Roth and Daniel Iles (April 22, 1912)
In the aftermath of the Titanic disaster, newspaper headlines offered a rare reprieve from sorrow and suffering: While still recuperating in the hospital, survivor Sarah Roth had married her childhood sweetheart, an immigrant who worked as a department store clerk.
The bride wore a donated blue silk gown and guests included many other survivors, some still in wheelchairs.
Paul McCartney and Heather Mills (June 11, 2002)
When the engagement ring went flying out the window of a posh Miami resort only a month before their multimillion-dollar Irish wedding, the couple claimed that they�d been engaged in an innocent game of ring toss. The ring was recovered days later; the marriage lasted six years.
Brigitte Bardot and Gunther Sachs (July 14, 1966)
When the German industrialist was wooing the French actress, he had a helicopter shower her Saint-Tropez estate with hundreds of red roses.
Julia McWilliams and Paul Child (Sept. 1, 1946)
The bride, not yet a noted French chef, wore a large white bandage on her forehead. The groom used a cane. A car accident the day before the ceremony had left the plucky couple bruised but unbowed.
Maria Eva Duarte and Juan Peron (Oct. 22, 1945)
As first lady of Argentina, Evita Peron showed a talent for spectacle. But her wedding in a small Buenos Aires apartment was surprisingly modest.
Shirley Temple and John Agar (Sept. 19, 1945)
When America�s princess married a square-jawed American soldier, a crowd of 12,000 gathered outside the church. A policeman inadvertently locked the car keys inside the limo, and someone had to tear the car door off its hinges so that the couple could escape their eager fans.

in my opinion a great hostel. Nice outside common area where you easily meet people. Lively at night but nice and calm after 12. Beds could be improved, some are a bit saggy. Otherwise a good balanced hostel. Especially for a solo traveler

This is a party hostel on the party street of Capetown. Expect loud music until early in the morning. Cost of wi fi is 20 rand per day and connection speed is average. Cash only for payment but an ATM on site. Staff did a good job keeping the well worn place clean, a big task after frequent parties. Mr. Bubbles, the hostel cat, kept things chill. Good music mix by the reception desk.

This is a vibrant and busy place where you can meet new people and party all night. This is a party hostel situated in the heart of Long street. As a South African I had to check in with my passport. I reserved a private room but the room was located in a dorm so I had to go into the dorm to get to my room, so ultimately some of the privacy was lost. The hostel had not updated their prices on hostelworld so I was charged more at check. This was not for me and I checked out the next day.

One in three women in the U.S. will experience physical violence, sexual assault or stalking by an intimate partner, according to a 2011 survey by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
A new IUPUC organization is raising awareness of these issues locally with a panel discussion featuring people who deal with violence on the front lines.
"Voices Against Violence" will address acts of domestic and other violence against women at 4 p.m. Wednesday in the Columbus Learning Center Lecture Hall & Auditorium.
Panelists include Domestic Violence Action Team members, a sexual assault nurse examiner, police officers and a director from Turning Point Domestic Violence Services.
The event is organized by IUPUC's newest student organization, the Feminism Club.
"We believe awareness promotes activism and activism encourages change," club president Bailey Moss said. "Our members want to educate the campus and surrounding community about gender-based violence in our own backyard."
Panelist Darla McKeeman, director of client services and training at Turning Point Domestic Violence Services, will bring local numbers into the conversation.
Turning Point provides information about safety planning, assessing family situations, legal advocacy, crisis intervention, case management and goal planning.
The agency worked with 470 families in Bartholomew County last year. Across its eight-county region, Turning Point served 899 families,
offered 4,750 nights in a shelter and provided 760 prevention presentations.
McKeeman said this panel discussion will raise awareness, which leads to prevention.
"While we focus on victim safety, we want to get in front of the problem through a primary prevention effort," Mc-Keeman said.
McKeeman is glad she has a new partner in that effort with the formation of the Feminism Club, she said.
The group was formed in January, and its aim is to educate the IUPUC camps about social injustices toward women.
The club also hopes to enlighten people about their definition of feminism: "A movement for social, cultural, political and economic equality of women."
"Our goal is to flesh out common misconceptions about feminism while uniting IUPUC as an educated force advocating for change and equality," Moss said.
She hopes this open discussion — including a brief question-and-answer session afterward — will spur that change.
"By talking about injustice and preventing violence against women, we can help attendees take steps to change the local culture and reach out to those who might be survivors with support and help," she said.

Hi, thank you for this plugin!
Would it be possible to have the carousel open in a lightbox? And have the images grow to meet the height of the browser? I would like my users to be able to easily compare two images side-by-side and this seems like it'd be a good solution.
Thank you!

Hi - I'm posting this for my dad, as we have him set up with Apple TV, Cable box, Sony Bravia (1 HDMI), ONKYO receiver 3 out 1 in (HDMI) and TV Ears Speaker. TV Ear module has audio port. http://www.tvears.com/support/Wireless-Speaker-System
Here's the setup we're using (but not getting any sound from the TV Ears speaker when viewing Apple TV):
HDMI from Sony to Onkyo Out.
Comcast Cable HDMI to Onkyo HDMI In
Apple TV to Onkyo HDMI In
TV Ears to Onkyo audio out
When we power everything up and view cable broadcasts - sound is coming from the TV Ears Speaker. When we switch inputs to Apple TV - we get picture but no sound from TV Ears speaker.
We've tried other setups but am baffled at why.
Went to the Apple store and the Genius rep. said we should get a newer tv with more HMDI inputs and run them all from there. Would that be the way to go?
Thanks in advance for any help!
Here's the TV Ears
Try adjusting the settings for Audio Out and Dolby Digital settings on the Apple TV.

PT's SEGway™ Signaling Solutions Offer Top Efficiency For Union Telephone's Network Migration
ROCHESTER, N.Y., July 14 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- PT (Nasdaq: PTIX), the recently rebranded Performance Technologies, a leading global provider of advanced network communications solutions, today announced that its SEGway™ Signaling Solution with Point Code Emulation™ (PCE) was chosen as a pivotal piece of Union Telephone's network evolution. Historic Union Telephone serves the Rocky Mountain region. Union Telephone combines old world ethics with a sophisticated business model, promising to deliver the utmost value to its subscribers. To meet that commitment, Union deployed the high performance SEGway signaling solution, providing SigTran capability. This IP functionality surpasses traditional circuit-switched platforms by affording any-to-any connectivity as well as considerably higher bandwidth over a single connection. Unlike other systems, the SEGway Signaling System supports SigTran without additional cards, conserving cost and space. The added functionality of PCE allows Union Telephone to cap costs by growing their network using fewer point codes. They may also expand and reconfigure their network transparently, eliminating inter-carrier dependencies."PT has hit the mark with their alignment of next-generation network elements," said George Ehlers, central operations director at Union Telephone. "That's the sort of progressive approach we look for in a supplier, someone we can partner with for the future." "PT is known for innovation, but not just for innovation's sake," said Patt Rice, senior vice president of Sales, Marketing, and Service at PT. "We keep our ear to the ground, listening to customers and to industry trends. We are strategically positioned to furnish state-of-the-art solutions in the evolution of next-generation networks. We welcome Union Telephone as a PT SEGway customer." SEGway Signaling Solutions result in greater network efficiencies than legacy systems because they occupy less footprint space, consume less power, and require a lower upfront capital investment. Online Resources Telecommunications system architects and carrier network engineers needing advanced, signaling and next-generation telecom solutions can learn more about PT's SEGway and Xpress™ offerings by accessing the following online resources:

|Earning it.
Date Climbed: Jul 17, 2011
|Hiked up from the Black Mountain Campground. Saw many who drove up at the summit. I'm not a big fan of developed summits at all but it is still a beautiful area and range. Saw a couple of red-spotted newts in the red eft phase; such a cool little critter.

Kind of a gray day but there were still great views and it actually made some of the pictures more interesting. Loved the rhododendrons which were just starting to bloom. Photo-ops everywhere!

TDSB found no sign of wrongdoing by charity or current chair Chris Bolton
Donations to Ryerson Community School, where Bolton was principal, were legitimately passed through the Friends of Community Schools registered charity, 2005 probe found.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
A decade-old investigation found no wrongdoing on the part of a charity with close ties to TDSB chair Chris Bolton, after questions were raised over donations it received, says a former chair of the school board.
The Toronto District School Board also issued a statement Thursday, following media reports that, among other allegations, Bolton had "directed" donated funds to his charity, dating back to 1999, when he was principal of Ryerson Community School.
Among the donations was a $50,000 award from the Atkinson Foundation, founded in 1942 by Toronto Star publisher Joseph E. Atkinson.
The money was intended for Ryerson Community School, but because the non-profit foundation is required to donate to registered charities, the funds were given to Friends of Community Schools, said Colette Murphy, executive director of the foundation.
Bolton said he did not found the charity, but was involved with it in its early days, along with others from staff and the community.
Bolton's partner, Terry Ross, is currently listed as the charity's president and its mailing address is their home.
Murphy said the foundation knew of Bolton's involvement when it made the donation. It also knew that, as is routine for charities, that Friends would charge a 5 per cent management fee.
She said the foundation was aware of the board's investigation into how the money was spent, and monitored it.
"Board administration follows up on any credible allegations about alleged failure to account for school funds," Toronto board spokesperson Ryan Bird said in a written statement.
"In this particular instance, the charity was asked about how certain funds were expended to support students at Ryerson Public School. The matter was closed in 2005."
Trustee Sheila Ward, who was chair of the board in 2005, when the investigation was initiated, said that at the request of the director at the time, "we talked to the Atkinson Foundation and the (province's) public guardian, and as a result of that, neither party said there was a problem. They were satisfied that everything had been done as it should have been done."

This has been driving me nuts for days. If these are Braxton Hicks, they hurt! But I'm obviously still sitting at home...so what the...?
Here's the explanation.....
Braxton Hicks are described academically as tightenings which are not uncomfortable and which do not cause a change in the cervix. Williams Obstetrics describes them as "irregular, nonrhythmical, and painless."
Perfect description of Braxton Hicks contractions: "Every once in a while, I will have a tightening in my abdomen that if you touch my abdomen, you can feel it hardening with your hand. Sometimes it is only on one side or just down low, sometimes it is my whole abdomen."
Generally, Braxton Hicks contractions are seen after 20 weeks, but there can be a little play in this range-so feeling them as early as 19 weeks is quite possible. Since the uterus is muscular, it probably contracts during the entire pregnancy, as soon as the baby grows enough to enlarge it, but these contractions are imperceptible.
False labor, however, is a prelude to true labor, so it is uncomfortable. These contractions usually occur in the last couple of weeks of pregnancy and can be quite painful. But the diagnosis of real labor isn't made unless there's a change in the cervix.
False Labor:
- Irregular
- Not rhythmic
- Doesn't get stronger over time
- Pain usually in lower abdomen
- Can be "sedated away," using such agents as Seconal, Demerol, Brethine, etc.
- Most important, the cervix doesn't change
- Regular pattern
- Intervals between contractions get shorter
- Gets stronger over time
- Pain over entire abdomen and even back
- Sedation won't stop it
- Most important, the cervix changes in dilation, effacement (thinning), and position (moving anterior-in line with birth canal)
True Labor:
The change from Braxton Hicks to false labor to true labor probably represents a continuum, with more and more biochemical stimuli playing a part in the approach to the real thing. Probably the mere mechanical irritation of an expanding pregnancy plays the most part with Braxton Hicks, but the full maternal-fetal-biochemical process stimulates the contraction mechanisms that lead to real labor.
