Microsoft Research hosted its seventh annual Latin American Faculty Summit in Cartagena, Colombia, May 18 to 20, 2011. This event was organized in partnership with Colciencias. The theme of the 2011 summit was Advancing Computing; Advancing Science. View videos of the presentations from the summit.
Advancing Computing; Advancing Science
Computing stands at a crossroads. The long-discussed movement from single-processor to multi-processor computers—whether on a single die or via a cloud—has become a reality that drives the need and opportunity for new paradigms in software engineering and development. The means to command and access computing resources—whether through voice recognition, multi-touch, or gesture—are becoming increasingly technologically and economically feasible. New ways to search, visualize, and organize large data enables new scientific understanding in fields like environmental research, astronomy, and digital humanities. Advances in computing approaches and algorithms are revealing new possibilities in the use of genomics to support innovations in biology, medicine, agriculture, and bio-energy.
Microsoft Research has an ongoing program of collaborations that focus on these research challenges. Attendees of the 2011 Latin American Summit had the opportunity to hear about the latest research resulting from our collaborations.

WASHINGTON -- Twenty angels stand for the twenty children shot to death in Newtown, Connecticut.
A display sits in the children's chapel of the Washington National Cathedral, a gentle reminder for the youngest victims of the December shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School.
Members of the Cathedral's volunteer Altar Guild came up with the idea.
"Something sacred in their memory, something that really meant something," said volunteer Jennifer Lee-Thorp.
Service-goers were touched.
"A great way to remember the innocence that we unfortunately lost," commented Sarah Wilbur.
Dean Gary Hall also preached to the faith community about reaching out to political leaders, calling for gun violence to end.
Hall said: "We here at the cathedral are celebrating Christmas which is a most
joyous time but it happens at time of great suffering. We're trying to show through this altar, through our prayers and through our witness that we stand with them, we won't forget them. And we can make the world a safer place, especially for children."

It is not uncommon for a celebrity to tout a skincare product and to credit her beautiful complexion to that product's care. However, these advertisements fail to mention any expensive facial treatments or makeup artists that the celebrity also employs on a regular basis. The formulas developed as part of the pH Advantage Acne Treatment line seek to give you flawless skin without a team of experts at your disposal. Developed by a renowned plastic surgeon, pH Advantage Acne Treatment products deliver a medical-grade dose of ingredients proven to diminish the appearance and likelihood of acne. While many popular acne products have a pH level that is too high to be effective on the skin, pH Advantage Acne Treatment formulas allow skin to maintain its natural acid balance. This balance helps the formulas to be more successful.
The pH Advantage Acne Treatment line relies on active ingredients that have been shown to be effective in a clinical setting. In developing this line, Dr. Cohen has made these clinical results available to a broader audience. With regular at-home use, customers will notice visible results.
If you regularly suffer from breakouts or if your skin is acne-prone at certain times of the year or month, pH Advantage Acne Treatment products can help you regain control over your complexion. By treating your skin with carefully selected medical-grade ingredients, you will obtain a healthy and radiant complexion similar to what Dr. Cohen's patients achieve through in-office services. You can also rest assured that your skin's natural pH will remain balanced, allowing the active ingredients to treat your skin with maximal effect.
When you experience a breakout right before an important event such as a job interview, a wedding, or a family portrait session, you may experience high levels of stress and anxiety. Many people attempt to solve the problem with home remedies or apply additional layers of makeup to mask blemishes. While many of these quick treatment and cover-up methods are ineffective, pH Advantage AM/PM Acne Spot Treatment provides a quick and powerful solution. This on-the-spot acne treatment uses 2 percent Salicylic Acid to combat excessive oil and fight P-Acnes bacteria. The pH Advantage AM/PM Acne Spot Treatment formula does not rely on Benzoyl Peroxide, which can dry skin out and leave it looking more noticeably irritated. This product helps to remove pore-clogging oil and to kill the bacteria responsible for many breakouts. The ingredients in pH Advantage AM/PM Acne Spot Treatment promote a faster healing time and a reduction of redness, so blemishes will be diminished quickly and effectively. You can use this spot treatment at any time of day, leading to smooth, clear, and healthy skin.

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Police say an Australian baseball player out for a jog in Oklahoma was shot and killed by three "bored" teenagers who decided to kill someone for fun.
Christopher Lane was visiting Duncan, where his girlfriend lives, and had passed a home where the boys were staying. Police Chief Danny Ford says that apparently led to him being gunned down at random.
The chief says a 17-year-old has confessed, but investigators haven't found the weapon used in Friday's shooting.
That teen, a 15-year-old and a 16-year-old remain in custody. Ford says the district attorney is expected to file first-degree murder charges Tuesday. It wasn't known if they will be charged as adults or juveniles.
The 22-year-old Lane, of Melbourne, attended East Central University in Ada on a baseball scholarship.

Testimony :: Hon. Christopher H. Smith
Commissioner - Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe
Mr. Chairman, thank you for calling this hearing, and welcome to Ambassador Eizenstat and everyone joining us this afternoon. I'm sorry to note that one of the witnesses from one of the Commission's earlier hearings on Holocaust era assets, Mr. Jan Sammer, passed away just a few months ago. He was a principled and tenacious advocate for property rights in the Czech Republic and I am deeply saddened that the Czech Republic did not resolve its unjust and discriminatory practices before his death, and, indeed, has not done so yet.
Mr. Chairman, our government must pursue justice for those robbed by the Nazis and their accomplices, and still defrauded by governments who connive at the Nazis' crimes by refusing to make them right. Each year we lose more Holocaust survivors, and that precious generation of witnesses will soon be gone. The failure to return their properties is tragic proof of the axiom: "justice delayed is justice denied."
Very often the failure to return properties is morally incomprehensible and impossible to justify, and reflects very poorly on the government concerned. Let me mention just one such case. Three years ago, I joined with other members of the Helsinki Commission to write to the Hungarian Foreign Minister regarding artwork looted from the family of Martha Nierenberg during World War II. The Hungarian Government does not dispute that these paintings were unjustly taken from the family – in fact, the family's paintings have been on display in Hungarian museums with signs stating as much. Yet the Hungarian government refuses to return the paintings. This is a blatant and gross injustice.
Mr. Chairman, many wrongs of the Holocaust can never, ever be undone. But this one can be. The Hungarian government has the legal authority to return these stolen paintings--and it has the moral responsibility to do so. Likewise other governments in Europe have a serious moral responsibility to return property stolen during the Holocaust. Really, it is hard to imagine how some people sleep at night, living in homes stolen from Jewish families during the Holocaust, enjoying paintings and real estate stolen from Holocaust victims, while the victims' descendants are cut off and shut out. How do the government officials that enable this injustice sleep at night?
Ambassador Eizenstat, welcome again, and thank you for your extraordinary leadership and vision in demanding justice for those who were unjustly deprived of their property during the Holocaust.

My Little Angel is a group of parents who do things for kids in honor of their children who have died. Fund raising for their Christmas toy drive will begin this weekend with the sale of raffle tickets for the Ultimate Backyard Giveaway, sponsored by Holyoke Chamber of Commerce, Holyoke Marketplace, First Pioneer National Bank, Hassler Crop Insurance, Highline Electric Association and Holyoke Community Federal Credit Union.

I'm really interested in these binoculars, however so far no one has a pair in stock. I've had a pair of the 8x30 Military Marines since 1998, and they are a pretty decent pair of binoculars for under $300. The 10x50's can be ordered for under $600, so not a bad value.
Does anyone have a pair of these? I would be interested in any comments.

Missouri election law gave Akin until 5 p.m. local time (6 p.m. EDT) to take himself off the Nov. 6 ballot in the Senate race against Democrat Claire McCaskill.
Party leaders including Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney and Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell had strongly urged him to step down.
But the Republican has vowed to stay in the contest, saying he represents a conservative movement that must be heard.
A staunch opponent of abortion rights, Akin claimed in a television interview on Sunday that women could not get pregnant from "legitimate rape" when asked about his opposition to abortion even in cases of rape and incest.

There are several education credits and deductions available to assist a taxpayer with the burden of paying for college. The American Opportunity Credit, the Lifetime Learning Credit, and the Tuition and Fees Deduction each have a different set of requirements.
The American Opportunity Credit was created under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. This credit can be claimed for expenses relating to the first four years of post-secondary education. The student must attend school at least half time and be enrolled in a program that leads to a degree or another recognized credential for at least one academic period during the tax year. Types of expenses that are eligible for this credit are tuition, fees, books, supplies and equipment. Room and board are not eligible expenses for purposes of this credit. The maximum credit available is $2,500, which is computed by taking 100% of the first $2,000 of expenses and 25% of the next $2,000 of expenses. This credit is also partially refundable, which means you could receive a refund up to $1,000. If your adjusted gross income is greater than $90,000 if your filing status is single or $180,000 if you are filing a joint tax return, you will be excluded from taking the credit. This credit is reported on Form 8863.
The Lifetime Learning Credit is another avenue to reduce your income tax liability. This credit is available for all years of post- secondary education. It is not a requirement for the student to be pursuing a degree or to be enrolled as at least a half time student. This means you could be eligible even if you were taking only one course. Tuition and fees required for attendance, including amounts required to be paid to the school for books and supplies, are considered to be eligible expenses for purposes of this credit. The maximum lifetime learning credit available per return is $2,000, which is calculated as 20% of the first $10,000 of expenses that were paid for the year. This credit is non -refundable, which means you cannot get a refund if you do not have any tax liability. If your filing status is single, the income limit for taking advantage of this credit is $61,000; the income limit if you are filing jointly is $122,000. This credit is also reported on Form 8863.
In the event that you do not qualify for one of the tax credits, you may be eligible to take advantage of the Tuition and Fees Deduction (Form 8917). The maximum deduction that may be available to you is $4,000. The requirements are similar to that of the Lifetime Learning Credit, however the income phase out levels are higher- $80,000 for a single filer and $160,000 for a joint filer.
There are two items worth noting. First, a student may only benefit from one credit or deduction per tax year. This means you cannot claim both the American Opportunities Credit and the Lifetime Learning Credit on the same student for the same year. The American Opportunities credit can be claimed if there are multiple dependents that qualify in the same year, up to $2,500 for each. The Lifetime Learning Credit is taken on a per return basis as opposed to a per student basis, so the maximum amount would be $2,000 per return. Secondly, the use of loan proceeds to pay for education expenses does not disqualify you from taking advantage of the credits. Use the expenses to figure the credit or deduction in the year the expenses are paid and not in the year the loan is repaid.
The topic of tax benefits for educational expenses is complex, but one that is definitely worth exploring and taking advantage of. Refer to IRS Publication 970 Tax Benefits for Education for a more in-depth explanation of the rules.

GMS Sure Start Smart Battery System - One More ChanceWritten by Brian Brennan on December 1, 2011 The Sure Start is just that: a sure start for your hot rod
Every hot rod has a battery and with few exceptions these aren't our daily drivers. Because of this type of use, or lack thereof, there's always the possibility of having "dead" battery problems. There are preventative measures that all of us are aware of and employ. In order to dodge the occasional dead battery we install kill switches, disconnect or remove a battery from the car, or even the tried-and-true method of one form or another of battery minder.
All of these options work to one degree or another so while we are thinking about saving our hot rod maybe now is also a good time to give a "little love" to our daily driver. All of the cars in our lives have batteries and as such they can all fall prey to the same battery woes that lead to battery failure. According to AAA there are 3,000 dead battery service calls per month! So, is there another method of protecting yourself, and to a certain degree your battery, from coming up short when you least need it?
The Sure Start by Granatelli Motor Sports (there's a name steeped in automotive tradition) is called the Smart Battery System. It functions by continuously monitoring your battery's power … "and when it detects your battery power falling below the level required to start your vehicle it automatically isolates the battery from the electrical system." What does this do? It makes sure that the battery is left with enough power to start your car when you need it. Sounds simple, and it is. Should this occur, you have now been given your first warning to check and see what caused the Sure Start to activate. Do you truly have a battery going bad? Did you accidentally leave your headlights on? You now have an option to solve a problem before it becomes a real problem.
It can be installed with simple hand tools (and power drill if you need to drill mounting holes). The entire install should take less than an hour and if you are comfortable under the hood probably less than 30 minutes. A simple press of the reset button or remote re-engages the battery so that the engine can be started.
Want to take the worry out of having your hot rod or your daily driver start every time? Then maybe it's time to give some consideration to the Sure Start.
More Photos From This Article View Slideshow
When the Sure Start is mounted separate from the battery then the battery cables are mounted to the Sure Start terminals; in this case it is the ground (black) cable.In our case we didn't hook the Sure Start directly to the battery but rather mounted it to the body. You have mounting options.The Sure Start is remotely mounted and has both the negative (black) and positive (red) cables attached to it. Now the power runs through the Sure Start and it monitors the battery power in this manner.There is also a white wire and this is the antenna and nothing need be done but to let it stay attached to the Sure Start.There is a double O-ring yellow cap (keeps moisture out) that houses the bypass switch. With the cap is removed you can see both the "on" and "off" position. "On" is the normal position while "off" takes the Sure Start out of the loop. If you were to jump or charge the battery this would be the switch's position.

Making up reality: five fake shows
CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- There's a whole bunch of terrible reality shows premiering and returning this week -- everything from deer hunting on rich people's land to a family of feral pig hunters to fighting over storage units to an adult show choir.
I've had a list of a few terrible reality show ideas sitting on my computer for a really long time now (probably not long after I mined the topic two years ago, actually). With so much awfulness about to hit the air, I thought this would be a good time to dust some of them off and throw them out there:
Dates could include dining on meals off of fast food dollar menus and thrift store shopping for job interview attire. Plus, you won't have to have a special "meet the parents" episode because he'll already be living in their basement.
2. "America's Next Top Reality Star": Many reality show participants try to parlay their 15 minutes of fame into a career, so why not cut out the pretense of doing it for other reasons?
The show's challenges would simulate the real challenges reality stars will face in their struggle to remain relevant once the show ends: how to get their name in the tabloids, the most effective way to attract paparazzi, how to start a feud, where to go for rehab and, most importantly, how to shape their character for future reality shows.
3. "The Amazing Wal-Mart Race": Think these teams on "The Amazing Race" with their globetrotting challenges have it tough? You've clearly never been to Wal-Mart on a Saturday afternoon.
The goal here would be to make it from garden supplies to groceries with requisite stops at all the store's departments. Challenges could include returning unattended children to their parents, picking a good cart, exchanging opened electronics, navigating crowded aisles with a full cart, finding a working scanner for a price check and having a money-saving extreme coupon showdown.
4. "Tree Huggers": Combine the survivalist and competition genres with this one, which would pit people against each other in a showdown set high above the ground in a redwood forest. The idea is simple: send several contestants to perches high atop redwoods, armed with basics like water, matches, a knife, a tarp and a few freeze-dried meals, and see who can last the longest.
Will they succumb to catching and cooking birds? Drinking their own urine? Conversing with squirrels? Long stretches of isolation can make people do crazy things, so who knows what bizarre behavior might ensue.
5. "Roadside Assistance": We've all seen them, the people along the highway selling everything from firewood to fruits and vegetables to yard decor. But what are their stories? That's what this show would find out.
It would get the back story on the sellers and follow them in their work for a few days to let viewers peer into the lives of people they believe are beneath them. Then, so it's not all about exploiting those we feel superior to, at the end of the show, the people will receive money or other assistance for their business.

ISU Signs Nation's Top JUCO Tackler Jordan Harris
AMES, Iowa- Iowa State head football coach Paul Rhoads announced today that Jordan Harris, a second-team NJCAA All-American linebacker who led the nation in tackles in 2013, signed his letter of intent to begin school at second semester (Spring of 2014).
Jordan Harris
5-11, 233, Jr.
Clarksdale, Miss. (Clarksdale/Copiah-Lincoln C.C.)
Junior College
Chose Iowa State over Memphis, Southern Mississippi and Tulane … earned NJCAA Second-Team All-America honors in 2013 … ranked No. 168 in 247Sports' Junior College rankings … led the NJCAA in tackles in 2013, averaging 13.8 tackles per game … posted 124 tackles, including 79 solo stops … named First Team All-MACJC and named All-Region 23 … tallied 3.5 sacks … had 48 tackles, including 29 solo stops, as a freshman in 2012.
High School
Two-time first-team all-district selection … had 88 tackles as a junior … earned second-team all-state honors as a senior, racking up 85 tackles and rushing for over 700 yards and six touchdowns … team finished the season at 7-5 … coached in high school by Charles Reid.
Born Jan. 4, 1994 … son of Howard Harris and Brenda Williams … went to the same junior college as former Cyclone All-Big 12 linebacker and NFL player Tim Dobbins … brother, Darren Williams, was a star defensive back at Mississippi State from 2002-04 … plans on majoring in engineering.
Rhoads on Harris
"Jordan Harris is a very exciting, physical football player. We got the opportunity to go down there and meet with him and talk football and it was almost love at first sight, if you would, on both sides. Jordan came up here for the Kansas game, the coldest game in the history of Iowa State football. He is a guy who was born and raised in the south and it did nothing to affect the enthusiasm and passion he felt for our football program. He took a quick look at the history of Iowa State linebackers, especially under the tutelage of Wally Burnham, and he knew he could immediately step in and fill a role equal to what he has witnessed in the past. He brings a level of physical play we are accustomed to here at Iowa State. He is a student of the game. He is the kind of guy that shows up at practice first and is the last to leave. We are very excited to have Jordan Harris as an Iowa State Cyclone."

Cuteness Overload: Kelly Clarkson Tweets Pic of River Rose, Lady Gaga Responds
The former American Idol champ tweeted an utterly adorable image of of her newborn over the weekend and gave a shout out to a certain pop icon.
"Watch out Lady Gaga!! River Rose is on the scene!!" Clarkson captioned the pic, which featured River Rose dressed up in glasses and a collar bib that resemble the Mother Monster.
And Gaga took notice:
@kelly_clarkson oh my miss River Rose is given' me a run for my money!! Look at those shoulders, like Grace Jones! Can I borrow that bib?
No shade between these divas!
Clarkson couldn't stop tweeting about her 3-month old bundle of joy, later posting:
Having a hard time falling asleep. Can't stop watching my baby girl sleep. I'm addicted to her.
River Rose isn't the only new object of Clarkson's infatuation. The Grammy winner also noted that she has an album in the works.
@CraziChrista Yes.I'm so proud of my next album!Might have a special guest on the album ....maybe :) Doesn't come out until early next year.
Sounds like she's still up there.
Vanessa Williams: 'I Got Engaged!'
Is Vanessa Williams saving the best beau for last?
The former Ugly Betty star announced Friday that she's ready to get married for the third time to newly minted fiancé Jim Skrip.
Williams shared the happy news during an appearance on The Queen Latifah Show recorded Friday and set to air Tuesday. Williams appeared to promote the Los Angeles engagement of her Broadway play, The Trip to Bountiful , co-starring Cicely Tyson and Blair Underwood, both of whom accompanied her to the taping.
"Vanessa, I have been trying to have a conversation with you ladies and gents, but I am blinded by the light coming from that bling ring on your finger," Latifah said. "Is there something that we need to know about around here?"
"Oh, sorry, darling, I got engaged," Williams shared. "I have had a lot of good things happen — I turned 50 when we were in rehearsal on Broadway, I just got engaged a couple of weeks ago. It has been a lot of blessings on this trip."
She also referred to the Buffalo native as "just a nice, regular, gorgeous guy," noting at the time that he was her Valentine this year.
Amber Rose Calls Out Wiz Khalifa on Twitter, Says Cheating Led to Divorce
In a series of tweets on Thursday, the model, confirmed Internet speculation that she believes he cheated on her over the course of their 14-month marriage, and that's what prompted her to call it quits.
Please stop with the fake stories. I would never ever ever cheat on my husband in a million years I think u guys know this.....
Unfortunately my now ex husband can't say the same….
I'm devastated and crushed but my main focus is Sebastian. Thank u for all the support in this difficult time.
Khalifa's reps have not yet responded to repeated requests for a comment on Rose's remarks.
In her divorce petition filed Monday, Rose officially cited irreconcilable differences as her reason to end the union. The couple share one son together, Sebastian, 1. Per the documents, the couple has a prenup that allows for spousal support.
Khalifa, 27, released his latest hip-hop album, Blacc Hollywood , last month. Rose, 30, is a model, actress, and former stripper, who was previously romantically linked to Kanye West and Reggie Bush.
Tyler Perry Is Expecting His First Child
Madea's about to be a mommy daddy. Tyler Perry and his off-on girlfriend, Gelila Bekele, are expecting their first child, a source close to the actor confirms to Yahoo.
Perry shared the news with a close group of friends at his 45th birthday party two weekends ago in Atlanta, says the insider, who was in attendance.
"He is thrilled and couldn't be happier," the source says.
With George Clooney soon to be off the market, Perry is one of the most eligible bachelors left in Hollywood. The actor, who is best known for his Madea movies but will soon be starring in Gone Girl , is known for not only being a good guy, but he's also one of the wealthiest, with a net worth estimated at $400 million.
"I know I would be a great father," Perry said on a 2013 episode of The Steve Harvey Show . "I don't want to work this hard. I don't want to have all of this and not leave it to my children."
Perry has spoken repeatedly about being abused by his own father and not having a positive male influence in his life.
Perry also said he was sexually abused by four other adults (three men and a woman) before the age of 10.
Selfies, Certifications, and Suspicions: The Latest on Joan Rivers's Doctor and Ongoing Death Investigation
"Investigators believe that Rivers's vocal cords began to swell during the allegedly unauthorized biopsy, cutting off the flow of oxygen to her lungs, which led to cardiac arrest on the morning of Aug. 29," a source told CNN. Rivers was placed in a medically induced coma and eventually died Sept. 4 at age 81 after being taken off life support. TV host Wendy Williams, who told her audience on Wednesday that Korovin has also treated her, revealed to The Insider With Yahoo that Korovin is currently in hiding. Williams also suggested that "maybe [Korovin] took the selfie because she thinks it's something that would have made Joan laugh." Sources close to Korovin told TMZ on Thursday that the doctor claims CNN's source is lying and that she neither performed a biopsy on Joan, nor took a selfie while Joan was under anesthesia. Both the New York Police Department and the New York State Department of Health are looking into the circumstances surrounding Rivers's death, but neither has issued a formal comment about the status of their investigations. Meanwhile, Yorkville Endoscopy's gastroenterologist and medical director, Dr. Lawrence Cohen, who performed Joan's scheduled endoscopy, stepped down from his post last Friday.
Is Hilary Duff Weirded-Out by Aaron Carter's Continued Declarations of Love?
Carter, the younger brother of Backstreet Boy Nick Carter, and Duff, then a Disney darling starring in Lizzie McGuire , began dating in 2000 — when both were just 13 — and continued on and off until 2003. In the "off" periods Aaron courted Lindsay Lohan, which lead to a slew of teenage gossip drama.
"I started dating Hilary [Duff] on my 13th birthday," he told host CNBC back in 2005. "I was dating her for like a year-and-a-half and then I just got a little bored so I went and I started getting to know Lindsay, dating Lindsay."
Meanwhile, Hilary moved on. She married former NHL player Mike Comrie, 33, in 2010, and they have one son together, Luca Cruz Comrie, 2.
In 2012, Aaron spoke with Fox News about Hilary's marriage, her pregnancy news, and his regret over losing her. "I'm really happy for her that she's in a successful relationship and that she's going to have a baby," he said. "Sometimes I think to myself, maybe that could have been me but it is what it is."
@aaroncarter are you talking about Hilary?
" Yeah, don't know each other… so… yeah."
Investigations, Memorials, Controversy: The Latest on Joan Rivers
The investigation: Late Tuesday, the New York Daily News reported that what was supposed to be a routine procedure at Yorkville Endoscopy did not go as originally planned. A medical source tells the newspaper that an unplanned, last-minute biopsy was performed on her vocal cords, and that procedure was responsible for a vocal cord seizure that cut off Rivers's air supply. The newspaper suggests that if the biopsy was performed in a hospital, where such procedures are typically done, Rivers would likely have survived.
A representative for the Rivers family declined to comment on the story. A spokeswoman for Yorkville Endoscopy wouldn't comment on the specific situation due to patient confidentiality laws, but they did provide an extensive statement to The Insider with Yahoo that clarified that a vocal chord biopsy is not a procedure that has ever been performed before at their clinic.
"She was an amazing woman and it was an appropriate send-off."
Nick Jonas Strips for Fans at NYC Gay Clubs
Nick Jonas wasn't kidding when he said he loves his gay fans.
The youngest of the Jonas Brothers, who's been focusing on a solo music career these days, showed up to promote his new song, "Jealous," at club BPM's Gay College Tuesdays night in New York City.
After his performance, Nick was encouraged by the crowd to strip. Though the fresh-faced pop star didn't take it all off, he played along and did more of a striptease, unbuttoning his shirt while moving seductively to the delight of clubgoers.
[Related: Nick Jonas on Body Transformation: I Put on 15 Pounds of Muscle]
The hunky singer has been bulking up lately for his role in the new martial arts-themed original series Kingdom (which premieres Oct. 8 on Audience Network). He might as well put those guns and toned abs to good use after all!
Eager fans captured some video of Nick inside the club hanging out before his performance. He mingled with many of them throughout the night.
I love my gay fans
Sara Gilbert Announces She's Pregnant on 'Talk' Premiere
The 39-year-old actress and talk-show host announced that she's pregnant on Tuesday on the Season 5 premiere of The Talk.
The funniest part of her announcement, though, was how it came about — in the form of Gilbert refusing to take on a dare on the show.
[Related: Sara Gilbert Shares Details on Her 'Sweet and Casual' Wedding to Linda Perry]
In a segment called "Face Your Fears," in which each of the five hosts are asked to do exactly that, Gilbert offered a pretty darn good excuse on why she couldn't be smashed between two nail-studded boards in a spiked Sara sandwich.
Had the dare taken place, it would've looked like this:
Her co-hosts couldn't contain their excitement — either on air, or on social media.
Sara's pregnant !!!! There's a new 'Talk' baby on the way! @THEsaragilbert #TheTalk
Congrats to Sara and Linda! #TheTalk
J.Law & Order: Hacked Celeb Pics Won't Be Exhibited After All!
A Florida gallery has pulled the plug on the planned art exhibit by the artist XVALA that was to feature the hacked nude photos of celebrities including Jennifer Lawrence, Kirsten Dunst, Kate Upton, and many other leading Hollywood ladies.
The St. Petersburg-based Cory Allen Contemporary Art gallery made headlines last week when it announced it would launch the so-called "No Delete" collection featuring the salacious stolen images, prompting a flood of negative press and criticism.
"It was inspiring to see people take action through a petition, signing their name and not just commenting on a thread," said Cory Allen.
"Copyright violation. You can't do that. The wrath of Jennifer Lawrence's attorneys is going to come down on them."

And, yes, you have to begin by agreeing that Portland is now so hip, or perhaps so post-hip, that it has a TV show—Portlandia—devoted to its hipness, a show involving much hilarity about food in episode one. And that a Portlander famously addressed hipness-sniffing New York writers this way on a blog: "STOP stalking us. Love, Portland." Portland, like Austin, prides itself on being weird, which in the end is a bit of Vegas-style branding. But when you get down to it, PDX, as it's sometimes called, walks the walk concerning chow. If the American food revolution sometimes starts to feel like a lecture, well, there's a lot of giddy class participation in Portland. It has a few things to teach the rest of us.
If you want to see Portland Mayor Sam Adams fired up, get him talking about his backyard bees. Or his laying hens and vegetable garden. Or the City Hall courtyard, where a manicured lawn gave way to 700 square feet of vegetable beds full of tomatoes, kale, and strawberries. On the policy-wonk side, Adams will detail his work with the Bureau of Planning and Sustainability to convert vacant lots into community gardens or efforts to bring more farmers to the city's many farmers' markets.
In Portland, food policy gets the juices running, and food policy can make streets messy. Sooner or later, a talk with the mayor arrives at the subject of the 600-odd food carts and trucks camped all over town. Under Adams' watch, first as a city council member and then as mayor starting in 2009, licensing fees have been kept low and streetscape regulations have been tweaked to make Portland more cart-and truck-friendly. Stroll any street, and you see the result: an Airstream trailer doing Northern Thai curry next to a Cajun joint with a patio draped in Spanish moss; a renovated caboose serving vegan barbecue; and a silver trailer offering Scandinavian meatball-stuffed lefse. Sounds charming, but the improvised jumble has created a hint of Bangkok via Burning Man, a rough muddle that would horrify prissier, more tightly zoned American cities. To Adams, it's all part of the democratic process.
"Portlanders eat their values," Adams says, "so they embrace the carts." An added benefit, he believes, is a healthy serving of social justice: Food carts have relatively low overhead, so business ownership has become possible for many who couldn't afford to start a conventional restaurant.
There are naysayers. Some restaurateurs grouse that the carts steal their business—a low-overhead cart lunch costs about the same as a fast-food value meal. Others linger over the grunge factor and food safety. The mayor persists, "We've had to work hard to convince people that even though they look a little hodgepodge, carts add an informal charm to the cityscape. And as for food safety, the carts are held to the same high standards as restaurants." —Ivy Manning
Ten home cooks gather around a halved Red Wattle heritage pig and watch Camas Davis flick a boning knife around the rear leg joint of the animal. A camera overhead captures the procedure on a flat-screen TV so no one misses a deft cut. One more turn of the wrist and the leg comes free from the carcass.
Davis holds it up by the hoof and says, "Now that will be a prosciutto...."
Sunday school for the squeamish this is not, but these students—20-something locavores, thrifty moms, die-hard bacon lovers—are eager to work at carcass level.
And Camas Davis knows from whence she cuts. A food editor turned butcher, her interest in meat led to an internship in Southwest France with a family that raises and butchers pigs for a fresh-meat and charcuterie business. After returning in 2009, Davis and Tray Satterfield started the Portland Meat Collective, which, in addition to butchery classes, acts as a resource for buying and sharing whole animals direct from local ranchers. It was, in the PDX food scene, a well-timed move.
"As soon as we started, the response was incredible. It's like people were just waiting for this to happen."
The Sunday class breaks into smaller groups, working on their own pigs, cutting roasts, ribs, and trotters. Later, everyone communes over local charcuterie and red wine to discuss cookbooks, home-cured bacon formulas, and the wisdom or risk of nitrates.
The appetite for neo-homesteader kitchen skills runs deep in Portland. An hour from downtown, Kookoolan Farms offers wildly popular BYOC slaughtering/dressing courses—as in Bring Your Own Chicken. Salt, Fire, and Time runs weekly classes like "Bone Broth" and "Potted Meats and Cheeses." Across town at Lost Arts Kitchen, you can learn all about lacto-fermentation (not only cheese: Think probiotic-rich kimchi and fermented ketchup). Even the city's Bureau of Planning and Sustainability is in on the act, offering beekeeping, cheesemaking, and organic vegetable gardening classes.
Davis rejects the notion that this is all the hobby-work of locavore obsessives and fat-wallet foodies: "There's plenty of those in Portland. But it's surprisingly diverse: Farmers, bike messengers, low-income single moms, as well as rich executives are into this. Provide a model for people in which they can eat well, spend less money, and own a part of the process, and a wide gamut of people will find that appealing. It's a shift in thinking, not just a trend." —I.M.
There's a funny-looking chicken named Lil' Tibby, with a tuft of floppy feathers atop her head, sitting on the back of a rescued white Boer goat named Moonshark. By easy anthropomorphic reasoning, they appear to be friends. There's another chicken that likes to sleep in a bucket. The rest of the birds at Naomi's Organic Farm Supply in Southeast Portland sleep more conventionally on the coop bars.
If urban chicken keeping is in vogue across America, Portland is a few clucks ahead of the flock. Naomi's co-owner, Naomi Montacre, describes Portland as "this fabulously chicken-filled city."
But the real action now is with multiple species. In Portland, anyone can own three small livestock animals, though more than three of an combination of chickens, ducks, doves, pigeons, pygmy goats, and rabbits requires a paid permit from the county. According to Dave Thomson, the code-enforcement officer for Multnomah County Health Department, Portland currently has more than 600 such permits—a number that has more than doubled since 2005.
"We teach chicken-keeping workshops," says Naomi, "but we really focus on multi-animal workshops. A lot of these animals coexist nicely, but there are little tricks that involve who gets free run of everything, who gets locked up at night, who should stay out of whose food, and all that."
It's not all lovey-dovey. Although most Portlanders keep livestock for eggs or dairy, some do so for meat. It is not inconceivable that you could watch your neighbor terminate a goat in his backyard—legally.
Thomson says Portlanders can slaughter their meat animals for personal use with the caveat that, "It must be done in a humane manner. If it is not, it can become an animal cruelty issue, which is an Animal Control matter. As the livestock permitting authority, we are neutral, but we recommend that it be done outside of view and in a discreet fashion." —Liz Crain
All great food cities become home to hyper-focused restaurants and shops—run by people who find their greatest satisfaction in one thing done very well. Think of the macaroon-makers of Paris, the barbecue fanatics of the South, the old-school pickle briners who have tiny nooks in New York City. These are the punctuation marks on the long menu that makes up a city's cuisine.
In Portland, Mark and Jennifer Turner Bitterman of The Meadow probably know more about salt than anyone in the nation. Aaron Silverman and Morgan Brownlow's business, Tails & Trotters, specializes in astonishingly delicious pork from pigs who are "finished" with local hazelnuts.
One of the more exuberant and curious of these specialists is Pine State Biscuits, whose co-owners, Kevin Atchley, Brian Snyder, and Walt Alexander, came to Portland a few years ago after graduating from North Carolina State University. In a nutshell: Southeast went Northwest and flourished.
According to Atchley, "Coming up with our biscuit recipe probably took longer than the building of our first restaurant." They would experiment with recipes and styles, then throw biscuit parties for friends and chefs to vet the goods. What won out in the end was a hands-on, cut-no-corners recipe in which frozen blocks of local butter are hand-cut into local flour. The flour comes from the 33-member alliance of Pacific Northwest wheat growers called Shepherd's Grain, the butter from Larsen's Creamery in Clackamas, Oregon.
It did not occur to these transplanted biscuit-heads, apparently, that building a business on a single food not exactly native to the soggy west might not be a great idea.
It was a great idea. Pine State now involves two line-around-the-block biscuit restaurants and an often absurdly crowded farmers' market booth. Some 1,000 biscuits a day are drenched with peppery gravy, piled with buttermilk-fried chicken, slathered with apple butter, layered with bacon, and served to knowing Portlanders who tuck in with joy in their eyes. —L.C.

Its not as many as you think, I remember seeing some less then 2 million. And Directv is basicly giving it away to everyone this year. Which tells me the end is near.
But it was a nice Directv Tour (:)Solid Signal)
That place is amazing.
...you need to do some research on this. The money maker for ST is the bar/restaurant subs and pick up of new customers under a two year commitment. Giving it to new customers for "free" is a lucrative tool.

2013 Bonneville Speed WeekWritten by on January 28, 2014 Setting Records On Slippery Salt
If there's one thing worse than not having a race car to take to Bonneville for Speed Week, it's having a race car that's in pieces. Circumstances, including completing the build of the R&C Tribute T, and a busy schedule, meant my roadster pickup wasn't finished in time, but that didn't stop me from making a banzai run to the Salt this year, without a trailer! The prospect of the heavy-hitter streamliners gunning for records was enough, as was a friend's record attempt—successful I might add—with a new engine.
Rod & Custom has a long tradition of covering Bonneville, and it's not hard to see why; it's pretty much the last bastion of "little guy" motorsport, and while there are stringent rules, it's still a doable proposition for a homebuilder. It's also a great vacation destination for a gearhead (well, it is when Speed Week is running, maybe not so much for most of the rest of the year when it's often under a shallow covering of water from rain and snow!).
The quality of the salt is also improving, thanks to the work of the Save The Salt Coalition (www.savethesalt.org) with over 1 million tons of salt returned to the Bonneville Salt Flats over the past two winters. It's still only inches thick, rather than the few feet it once was, but awareness and action are slowly bringing the surface back. It's been a land speed racetrack for 100 years, and long may it continue.

The XXF/BFR Ferguson Racing entry edged out the previous record by just over 2.5 mph with a 203.423, using a blown Ardun.Logan Davis' Vintage Performance/H&H/Old Crow entry took the V4/BGR record last year with Max Herman at the controls, and came back this year with Davis taking the V4/BFR record at 137.716 mph.The Lattin-Stevens "White Lightning" XF/VGCC 1933 Austin upped the previous record by 16 mph to 156.026 with Bill Lattin at the wheel first thing Monday morning.Gene Winfield may be known to most as a prolific custom builder and painter, but he's run this replica of his old race car, "The Thing", at El Mirage and Bonneville for years. The car runs a 291ci Flathead.Not everyone's there to race, and plenty of spectators show up with hot rods, the Salt making a perfect photographic backdrop.Shug Hanchard switched from a 213ci Ford four-cylinder to an early small-block Chevy to run in the American Iron Roadster (AIR) class with an open record, taking it at 119.759, only to see it beaten the following day and raised to 147.365.As soon as racers are allowed on the salt in the morning, work commences on those that have been in impound overnight, ready for record attempts once the course opens.If you ever make it to Bonneville, you should make sure you're out on the salt for sunrise at least once.
If it's a hot rod, it'll likely be there, from four-banger fenderless Model A coupes to injected Hemi-motored bare metal Deuces.Peter Keyser brought his 1947 Crosley Great Pumpkin Racing entry from Amherst, MA, and came tantalizingly close to the XF/BVGCC record of 152.494 on his best run of 151.137.St. Paul, MN's Steve Laugtug brought this great belly tank to compete in the Gas Lakester class with a 213ci Ford four-cylinder. His best was 135.922 on a 150.202 record.There's a 358ci Dodge under the hood of the Syclone Motorsports C/STR entrym which made plenty of runs over 200 mph but couldn't beat Jim Jard's 2011 ecord of 229.48.You'll need a long lens to get this close, but nothing beats watching the chutes come out at the end of the long course … except maybe seeing, and hearing, the streamliners go by under full power.

2 women arrested in connection with Sacramento hostage hoax | News
SOUTH SACRAMENTO - Sacramento County sheriff's deputies were called to the 8500 block of Bellamy Way in south Sacramento Thursday morning after a female caller reported another woman was being held hostage in her home by her armed boyfriend.
Deputies and SWAT members arrived on scene shortly after 1:45 a.m. and found the caller in the street, said Sacramento County Sheriff's Dept. spokesman Jason Ramos.
About an hour after authorities arrived, the woman allegedly being held hostage came out of the home and informed them no such incident had occurred and that her boyfriend was inside the house sleeping, said Ramos.
Further investigation into the the incident revealed the woman's boyfriend had a felony warrant out for his arrest from a violent crime committed a couple years ago, Ramos said.
The man was subsequently arrested for the outstanding warrant.
Ramos said the initial call made to the sheriff's department was completely fictitious, and the caller, as well as the woman allegedly being held hostage, were both arrested for corroborating to get the man arrested for personal reasons.

I have the Zimbra client window coming up in a new window with no tool bar, no nav bar, and no status bar. In this context the popup for 'navigate away' can only come up when:
1) The user closes the window
2) Something on the parent window directly targets the child window
In both of these cases it seems that this popup is not needed, one is expected behavior by the user and the other is a server-side control. As a side note the word 'navigate' is no longer relevant, because in both of these cases there is no navigation.
Is there a way to disable this popup?

An 11-year-old boy is in intensive care, his grandfather in critical condition and his grandmother with serious injuries after a chain reaction crash in Delta Twp. on Friday.
Six people were hurt on Valentine's Day after a Delta Twp. fire dept. truck was traveling westbound on Saginaw when it rear-ended a car around 3 p.m. That started a chain reaction damaging two more vehicles.
Eaton County police say a fire dept. employee was heading back to work when he was looking down to adjust heat controls in the vehicle.
Police have not released the names of the victims involved in the accident and no charges have been made.

The 114th Map of the Week is arriving a bit late. On the weekend the LTE UHF trasmitter and receiver that gives us Internet access died a quiet and peaceful death. The replace ment arrived today, so here we go, at last, almost.
First of all, just a note to say that the next map of the week will arrive even later. July's about to start, and that's when the three of us in the Vintyri (TM) project start doing vacation things. That means we won't be back with Map of the Week No. 115 until August.
Thís week, with Map of the Week No. 114, we take a look at the Slovanian city of Mine Docks. It's the biggest settlement in the Map of the Week collection to date, and also one of two locations in the Northwest of the Jörðgarð campaign setting taht was designed as a highly detailed staging area for adventuring PCs. (The other was Óðinn's House).
Because there are so many detailed sites on this map, we can offer only the briefest description of each here. However, if you want the full detailed information on the 64 numbered locations, you can download it as a free PDF here:

ATLANTA, Ga. (WXIA) -- Children's author Judy Blume took to Twitter early Monday morning to express her outrage with Delta Air Lines.
The author publicly complained that she and other passengers were denied admittance onto their departing flight while their plan rested at its gate at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport.
According to Blume's Twitter account:
Hate you Delta! You closed the door on 5 of us who flew NY/Atlanta, ran to our connection, got there with minutes to spare, with plane with plane still sitting at gate. Next flight to Albuq not until 7:17. There goes Day One of visit. Grrrrr!!!
Dozens of people replied to Blume's tweet some with tales of similar situations and others with encouraging words.
11Alive reached out to Delta Air Lines concerning Blume's incident.
According to Betty Talton of Delta Air Lines:
Our DeltaAssist team reached out to Judy Blume shortly after her first tweet this morning but received no reply. DeltaAssist is our team of trained customer service professionals who offer assistance in real time through Twitter.
Bloom departed on her flight to Albuquerque on the next available flight, which left the airport shortly after 7 p.m. Monday.

Viña del Mar, ChileMicrosoft Research hosted the ninth annual Latin American Faculty Summit in Viña del Mar, Chile, May 7 to 9, 2014. The theme of the 2014 summit was Advancing Science and Technology Through Computing Research.
The 2014 Latin American Faculty Summit brought together thought leaders from academia, government, and Microsoft from a broad range of disciplines including computer science, engineering, mathematics, and economics. Participants explored the latest advances in computing research, discussed challenges that the community faces, and investigated the best approaches to address those challenges and identify new research opportunities.
The breadth and depth of the technical areas covered in the program ensured a unique experience, while the event itself provided a venue for meeting with colleagues across the full range of the computing disciplines.
Advancing Science and Technology Through Computing Research
The need to solve real-world problems—whether economic, scientific, or social—has provided the impetus for technological advancements over the years. Computing research and technology provide novel approaches to meet these challenges and to transform many facets of society, from healthcare to education, and from commerce to the environment. Software is experiencing and facilitating rapid changes, demonstrated by novel machine learning algorithms for handling and learning from large data sets, advances in artificial intelligence to enable smarter devices for better natural user interaction, and the growth of cloud services to enable innovative applications, just to name a few.
The computer science community is at the heart of these exciting trends, while multidisciplinary research is at the core of advancements made in sciences for the benefit of society. New developments in the world of computation have changed the scientific landscape by offering new capabilities to scientists interested in increasing their ability to process, visualize, and understand huge amounts of data. And today, computational advantages are being applied to an ever wider range of disciplines.
The program will consist of a variety of keynotes, talks, panels, workshops, and demonstrations.

Dear friends,
As you know, when we practice metta we direct lovingkindness to all beings and especially to those who are suffering. Now, if non-Buddhists were to ask me what metta is, I would point them to the metta sutta. And if they were to ask me why I practice metta bhavana or what I hope to achieve when I practice metta bhavana I would tell them that it is a means for me to cultivate wholesome states of mind and to promote wholesome volition. I think it shouldn't be too hard to explain to them the aims of metta in this way.
But in the case where I'm directing metta to someone specific, to someone who is experiencing difficulties, how does one explain the practice?
If someone were to say, 'OK. I can see how you practice metta to cultivate wholesome state of mind. I can accept that. But how does your practice actually affect someone else, especially someone whom you do not have direct contact with? How would your practice actually benefit the person whom you are directing metta to? How would it actually alleviate that person's illness or circumstances or whatever? Are you suggesting that metta would actually generate some kind of cosmic energy that would somehow 'touch' that person in question? If you choose to talk about Buddhism in term of its 'scientificity', in terms of its pragmatism and rationality, how then would you explain this supposed beneficial and helpful effect of directing metta to others, something which cannot be 'verified'?
I'm not quite sure how I would respond to these questions. In fact, to be honest, whilst I practice metta everyday and whilst I would direct metta to people I know who are suffering (e.g. just recently when Retro was in the hospital), I wouldn't know how to explain it to others. I mean I can of course explain it in terms of how metta helps me cultivate wholesome states of mind but how would I explain its supposed effect on others?
Perhaps these questions miss the point of metta. But they would not be unreasonable questions for non-Buddhists to ask. How would you respond?

Lindsay Lohan reportedly stole a $2,500 necklace from a Venice jewelry store. We'd say we're shocked, but, umm, Lindsay Lohan does this stuff all the time. I don't know if anyone else has noticed this, but in the past five or six years, Lindsay Lohan has morphed from an actress into a professional jewel thief.

We have upgraded our BES hardware and installed a newer version of ZCB (5.0.16).
Does anyone know if any issues will be caused if a user does a full-backup of their device on the older version of ZCB and then does a restore on the new version? They don't want to lose their customization, pictures, music, etc.
Unfortunately, I'm not sure which version we're running as the person who did the install is not here. If that's pertinent info, if someone could tell me how to check that would be greatly appreciated.
