This morning, Facebook announced that it will be launching its new Facebook Home interface on April 12. The service will essentially hook into users' existing Android handsets, offering a fully immersive experience for those who primarily use Facebook for social networking and correspondence.
One of the major features of Home is Cover Feed, which replaces the lock screen and home screen on an Android handset with your Facebook news feed. "Chat heads" will appear on the Cover Screen indicating that you have a new message, either via SMS or Facebook. Notifications won't be aggressive—they'll appear with the chat head of your friend, and you can freely move their face around the screen or flick them away to deal with them later. Additionally, Facebook Home will serve as a launcher for any Android apps that you download from the Google Play store.
HTC also announced that it would be launching a handset that ships with Facebook Home already integrated into it. We got some hands on time with it, so here's a closer look at what's to come from the social networking giant and HTC's collaboration.
Chat heads appear in the Cover feed, which acts as the Lock Screen for Android when Facebook Home has been integrated.
Chat heads appear in the Cover feed, which acts as the Lock Screen for Android when Facebook Home has been integrated.
You tweak the settings in Facebook Home from a entirely seperate Settings application. Home can't be turned off as the default launcher from the Android Applications settings; instead you'll have to use the Home settings app.
The First features a dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 SoC, multimode LTE, and a 4.3-inch glass display. It will be available in four different colors and have a matte back.
The HTC First comes preinstalled with Facebook Home laid over Android 4.1.2.
The HTC First also features hardware controls for the home and back buttons.
A closer, albeit somewhat blurry, look at the hardware buttons.

On other Android handsets, you can choose which app to set as the launcher. Galaxy SIII users, for instance, can choose whether or not they want to stick with Samsung's proprietary Touchwiz UI or switch to Facebook Home.
Facebook's App screen features stock Android stylings.
A Facebook employee shows how to swipe away notifications.
Notifications are well distinguished, letting you know precisely which app or service each notification has arrived from.

The Bison sports teams were in action over the weekend, and results were mixed.
The Lady Bison volleyball team was at the Douglas Invite and split their matches, going 2-2. Buffalo beat Cheyenne South in pool play 3-0 before losing to Douglas 1-2. In the tournament, the Lady Bison beat Newcastle and then lost to the eventual tournament champion Torrington.
Jenna Anderson and Kinzi Litzel led in attacking and blocking, and Sam Schroefel served 95% and had 86 assists for the tournament.
The girls will be at the Gillette Invite this Friday and Saturday.
The Buffalo High School Bison athletic teams had another busy weekend with all but the football team in action.
The Bison Golf Team was in the Bighorn Basin for the Powell/Cody Invite. The first round of the tournament was called early due to lightning, so the tournament was an 18-hole event. No Bison golfers finished in the top ten, and the boys team finished seventh out of 10 teams, the girls team finished tied for fourth.
FOOTBALL - The Sheridan Bronc football team beat Cheyenne Central 31-12 Friday night jumping out to a 14-0 halftime lead and building that lead to 31-6 entering the 4th quarter.
Senior running back Jordan Roberts ran for 137 yards and two touchdowns in his first game in a Bronc uniform.
Quarterback Kevin Bakkehaug threw for 162 yards and two scores as the Broncs took the opener Head coach Don Julian.
Sheridan Broncs beat Cheyenne Central big 31-12.
FOOTBALL - The Sheridan Bronc football team opens the season tonight at Homer Scott stadium against Cheyenne Central.
We heard a little about the offense yesterday on the defensive side of the ball they must replace 10 of 11 starters Head coach Don Julian.
The Broncs dominated special teams last year returning eight kicks and punts for touchdowns and Julian says this fall again they will make special teams a big part of their success.
The Lady Bison Swim team may be young and might be lacking senior leadership, but Coach Ed Von Holst has seen these kids come up the ranks from USA Swimming into middle school and now high school, so they have experience in competition, he said.
He tells us more about the team.
Von Holst said the team has traditionally had good swimmers and he expects many to qualify for State.
GOLF - The Bronc golfers win their 21st consecutive tournament winning the Buffalo Invitational Tuesday.
The Broncs took the team title by 54 shots Kamrin Allen was the overall medalist with rounds of 68 and 69.
Chris Cremer was 3rd, Cole Smith was 5th and Jack Mavarakis was 7th, Big Horn Ram Bryce Williams finished in the top ten in 6th place.
The top finisher for the Lady Broncs was Hillary Lindell she finished 6th overall.

Being chosen for a K-9 position is not only a competitive process, it entails a huge commitment from the officer. Kendall, as an example, had to relocate from her apartment into a house with a fenced back yard since Diablo stays with his handler 24/7. According to Kendall, Diablo is fantastic to work with and is learning very quickly, especially in basic movement commands. The WPD looks forward to a long and successful career for both Officer Murphy and K-9 Diablo.

Full SubmissionCoNGO Committee on Sustainable Development, NY Environmental, social and economic development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. Earth Summit Rio + 20 General Background Twenty years ago, following the first Earth Summit in Rio de Janiero, Maurice F. Strong, Secretary General of the Summit, said that ?the movement to turn the world from its self-consumptive course to one of renewal and sustenance has unmistakably spread.? He added, however, that ?there is not yet a concerted and decisive response to the magnitude and urgency of the task.? As Strong said, ?There is still a great deal to do.? Today these words ring true. There is still a great deal to do! An unsustainable and unjust model of development prevails. It commodifies and exhausts Earth?s resources and relies heavily on unequal Trade liberalization which favors developed countries and transnational corporations over people, healthy ecosystems, and the needs of present and future generations. A growing inequality exists between the wealthy and those who are impoverished by the lack of access to adequate food, water, energy, land, education and health services. This growing gap in wealth is recognized as one of the root causes of conflict and violence worldwide. As the Johannesburg Summit acknowledged, these ?deep fault lines that divide human society between the rich and the poor, and the ever-increasing gap between the developed and the developing worlds, pose a major threat to global prosperity, security and stability.? The 2012 UN Conference on Sustainable Development (Rio+20) must reclaim and advance an ethical and inclusive global vision that promotes ecological and social integrity, the global common good, and the well-being of all peoples and Earth. Moreover, in the words of the Earth Charter, Rio+20 must move us to realize our ?responsibility to one another, to the greater community of life and to future generations.? Opportunities and Challenges Mr. Sha Zukang, Secretary General of the upcoming Rio + 20 Conference, said, ?Rio + 20 is humanity?s chance to commit to a transition to a green economy, to lift people out of poverty. We cannot wait another 20 years.? The 1992 Summit?s promise to make ?environmental protection?an integral part of the development process? has not been fulfilled, and its call to action document, Agenda 21, which at the time 178 governments agreed to adopt, is largely forgotten. This document provided a framework for action to be implemented globally, nationally and locally by governments, organizations of the United Nations and major groups in every area in which the activity of humans has a direct impact on the environment. Why this failure when the international community has the technological expertise, a clearer, scientifically-based understanding of Earth as a living system of interdependent, interrelated components of which humans are a part, and the financial resources to explore and implement more sustainable modes of development? Clearly, there is reluctance to critique present economic and social systems, as well as a lack of political will for action based on such critiques. The October 2010 Report of the Secretary General, Harmony With Nature, ?provides an overview of how the life-style of the twenty-first century, through its consumption and production patterns, has severely affected Earth?s carrying capacity, and how human behavior has been the result of a fundamental failure to recognize that human beings are an inseparable part of nature, and that we cannot damage it without severely damaging ourselves. ?The philosophy of holism, embodied in the concept of sustainable development, rests on an understanding that all things are interconnected and that nothing occurs in isolation.? Any substantive alteration of one of Earth?s components affects the health and vitality of the entire system. The prevailing economic theory, grounded in limitless expansion and growth, is in contradiction with finite resources. The competition that is a hallmark of the current model has led to ever increasing inequity between the rich and those who are living in poverty, at both global and national levels. Furthermore, at the time of the 1992 Earth Summit, one of Maurice Strong?s greatest disappointments was the failure to move firmly enough against the world?s industrial-military complex. Since then, the business of war has intensified ? destroying human life and well-being, abusing the environment, consuming resources and blocking the United Nations? main agenda of fostering sustainable pathways to peace and security. Therefore, we see the following elements, rooted in an equitable and holistic understanding of the interconnectedness of all of life, as foundational in the deliberations that will take place during Rio+20. Green Economy The limitless growth and production model of development must be abandoned. We support a green economy that reflects an integration of the environmental, social and economic pillars of sustainable development; that places equity of access to green technology, jobs and practices for developing countries over green capitalism, which disproportionately benefits developed countries and transnational corporations. ?A green economy results in improved human well-being and social equity, while significantly reducing environmental risks and ecological scarcities?it can be thought of as one which is low carbon, resource efficient and socially inclusive.? A green economy must recognize the limits of the free market economy, and favor a more locally-based economy; respect the diversity of cultures, and the consequent need to develop ?diverse green economies;? while addressing structural change that would genuinely address the eradication of institutional poverty and its accompanying injustices. In addition, in a green economy GDP cannot be the strategic marker of development to the exclusion of all other indicators. It is important to utilize a variety of indicators, including the Human Development Index (HDI), based on the premise that ?people are the real wealth of a nation.? The HDI, however, does not currently include any environmental measures in its calculations despite an emphasis on the environment in the 2010 Human Development Report ? ?human development, if not sustainable, is not true human development.? Human Rights and Earth Rights We firmly advocate a shift from an ethic of exploitation to an ethic of right relationship ? an ethic based on the rights of humans and of Earth as essential for individuals, society and ecosystems to flourish. The concept of the rights of nature is also emerging, with the growing awareness of Earth as a living system of interconnected components. This concept highlights the importance of human beings living in a more balanced and harmonious relationship with nature, as opposed to the prevailing relationship of domination. This planetary vision can lead to a just and sustainable peace. ?Earth rights are human rights; they are not separate rights.? If people do not have access to clean water, food and sanitation; if people are restricted in their prudent use of land in the name of ?progress;? if people are victimized by governments and corporations which engage in unbridled extraction, pollution and devastation of land and bodies of water, then human and Earth rights are violated. In conclusion, we support the following recommendations that promote an integrated approach to sustainable development: SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT ? Enforce the following principles as referred to in Agenda 21: o Apply the Precautionary Principle to ensure that new products and technologies (e.g., genetically modified seeds) do not have destructive or irreversible damage that results in environmental degradation. o Enforce the Polluter Pays Principle and apply payment to the adaptation and mitigation needs of developing countries. o Guarantee the representation of local peoples, especially Indigenous Peoples, as active participants in decision-making processes to bring about equitable, fair and just sustainable development. ? Acknowledge the human right to water and proper sanitation, and hold accountable those corporations which both deplete and pollute the global water supply. ? Sponsor educational programs for citizens on sustainable development and, specifically, on patterns of consumption and production within each country?s context. GREEN ECONOMY ? Endorse the establishment of the proposed Financial Transaction Tax to contribute to climate adaptation and more equitable economies in developing countries. ? End subsidies for fossil fuels and industrial agriculture in order to move toward the end of fossil fuel dependency; and invest in small farmers and agro-ecology. ? Facilitate the transfer of innovative technology from the developed world to assist the developing world in an approach to development that does not rely on fossil fuels. ? Shift from free Trade liberalization to the implementation of fair and just Trade policies. ? Evaluate global military expenditures and reallocate significant resources to sustainable development, green technology, and financing of climate adaptation and mitigation for developing countries. GLOBAL INSTITUTIONAL ENVIRONMENT FRAMEWORK ? Support the establishment of an effective international institutional environment framework which calls governments and international corporations to transparency and accountability. ? Include environmental measures in the Human Development Index, and encourage the use of a wide range of indicators, beyond GDP and the HDI, to assess development.

Reviews for Slow-Cooked Lasagna
"Great Recipe - I have an oblong slow cooker and you can't mess this up even if you use the uncooked noodles. Just go a little longer in your cooker. This is as good as any traditional lasagna I've ever made. And believe me, I've crushed tomatoes with my hands to make lasagna. I've made the noodles myself. This is a great recipe. For the sauce I actually use a sauce that has sausage in it - you get a mix of the burger or (turkey if you chose that for the browned meat), but that way you get a mix of flavors. It's fabulous. Don't pass up on the Ricotta, Parmesan, Mozzarella. You can't do it every day for sure, but you only live once. Love this recipe..."
"I made this for supper a couple of months ago and was pleasantly surprised. So, I might add, was my husband who is a picky eater.He would have gone back for thirds, but I said he'd had enough (he's diabetic so have to watch his intake on carbs, etc). As to whether I'll make it again....I'm doing so this weekend, and it is in all of my recipe boxes!"
"excellent recipe, took it to a football party - was a great success"
"Did not like this at all. Dry and not flavorful. Maybe because I used a larger crock pot? I cooked it for only 4 hours and did everything else the recipe said. Will not make again. Like the oven version better! Sorry!"
"I have to say I was a bit wary of this recipe but it came out excellent. It is hard to please my picky eaters but this did the trick."

Sam DuPratt got the phone call he had been waiting for when he was on a hike in May. He had been named to the U.S. Ski Team and wouldn't have to try out for a position.
The 19-year-old alpine skier was excited, but said the call was expected after the season he had just completed.
"There's the objective criteria, so at the end of the season I kind of knew I was going to make it because I had a really good year," he said. "But I didn't get the call until right before the tryout camp that I didn't need to try out and that I made the team."
Now that DuPratt has realized that there is still work to be done, he's excited to begin the next chapter of his career.
"Growing up, you think it will be a huge deal (to make the U.S. Ski Team)," he said. "You feel great because you've accomplished something, but you kind of realize it's just another stepping stone. You've still got to do stuff from here."
From riding in his father's backpack down the slopes of the Squaw Valley ski resort (near where DuPratt grew up in California) when he was a small child to chasing after his sister Jaime, who skis for the University of Utah and is preparing for her senior season, DuPratt has come a long way.
"My sister was a lot better than I was growing up," he said. "It was great having someone there to push me and I was always trying to catch her. Sometimes I still think I'm trying to catch her when we're freeskiing."
He said her work ethic was contagious.
"She's a hard worker and loves what she does," he said.
But there was a time when DuPratt almost gave up skiing for good.
"When I was in the U14 age division, I told my coach, Konrad Rickenbach, that I was going to quit and play baseball," he said. "I was pretty good at baseball. I liked it low physical activity and a lot of reward. Skiing is just the opposite all the physical activity you can handle with slim-to-no reward."
Fortunately, Rickenbach talked him into sticking with skiing.
"I was leaning towards baseball and this coach came up to me and said, 'Don't quit. You have more (talent) than you think,'" DuPratt said. "So I trusted him."
After six years as a member of the Park City Ski Team, DuPratt is right where he wants to be.
"Park City was perfect from the day I got here," he said. "I had coaches like Chad Wolk and John Buchar those guys just did everything they could for me and for all their athletes, so it was a great experience."
He added that he probably wouldn't be here today without the PCST.
"It's the best team in the nation, I'd say," he said. "You've got the great facilities at Park City Mountain Resort and great training opportunities. They bent over backwards for me, and they do it for any athlete, really. They're there so you can take what you want out of it."
Now that he's in a position to succeed with the U.S. Ski Team, he's going to do his best to reward those who have believed in him and pushed him to reach his potential.
"I'm focused on getting World Cup spots for next year, winning NorAm titles, winning the 2014 World Junior Championships (in Slovakia) and sort of taking command of the lower-level races," he said. "Then I'll try to work my way up to Korea in 2018 (for the Winter Olympics). That's more my scene."
He'd love to make the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics, but knows he's got a tough task ahead of him to accomplish that goal.
"The U.S. team has a pretty stacked Olympic team," he said. "There are 13 (alpine) guys who are between the ages of 21 and 30 that are amazing at what they do. I'm not sure Sochi's a reachable goal for me. It would be an insane experience, but I'd have to do some pretty unbelievable things to get there."
But, just in case, DuPratt will keep working hard this summer to make sure he puts himself in the best position he can.
"We're at the Center of Excellence from about 8-4 every day," he said. "We do a lot of hikes and mountain biking and stuff, so we're outside some, but it's a lot of grueling work."
Between skiing at Mt. Hood in Oregon in August, heading to Chile this fall and preparing for the ski season to start in Colorado in November, DuPratt will be in the gym most days. But he has some plans to get out and switch things up.
"In October, I try to get out of a couple workouts to go hunting," he said. "I'm a big-time bird hunter."

Shannon Hale
Aprilynne Pike had given up on writing until Stephenie Meyer—whose Twilight series had yet to come out—showed her the ropes. "Stephenie not only shared her work with me, but read mine and encouraged me to finish what I started," Pike says. Now Pike is known for her successful Wings series about a girl named Laurel who discovers she's a faerie. Disney now owns the film rights and Miley Cyrus is attached for the lead role, and the fourth book, Destined, hit shelves in May.
Shannon Hale wrote for 19 years before her first novel, The Goose Girl, was accepted by a publisher. Now it's one of the most popular among her fans, though she's also known for her Princess Academy and Austenland series. Born and raised in SLC, she also scribed The Actor and the Housewife, an adult book about a Mormon wife who becomes BFFs with a celebrity heartthrob. Now she's hard at work on a superhero adventure novel.
Sara Zarr doesn't write about faeries or wizards, but rather the girl next door. "I write contemporary realism," she says, "so most of my books are family dramas centering on girls that are 16 or 17." Zarr lives in the Avenues of SLC and has published four books. The first, Story of a Girl, a National Book Award finalist, came out in 2007 and has been optioned for a possible movie adaptation. Her next book, The Lucy Variations, hits shelves in 2013.
When Brandon Mull launched the final book of his Fablehaven series, which is about kids who discover their grandparents are caretakers of a secret wildlife preserve for magical creatures, more than 3,000 people came to the launch party. The local middle-grade author keeps getting more popular, and Fablehaven was almost made into a film twice. Currently, he's working on a sequel to his novel The Candy Shop War called The Arcade Catastrophe, on shelves in October.
50 Shades of Fan Fiction
Last year UK writer E.L. James made it to the No.1 spot on the New York Times Best Sellers list with her Fifty Shades of Grey book series, based on her Twilight fan fiction story Master of the Universe.
In the book, Edward is replaced by successful entrepreneur Christian Grey, who embarks in a passionate love affair with literature student Anastasia Steele, who stands in for Bella.
As far as University of Utah fan fiction professor Anne Jamison is concerned, it's not too different from other romance books, and it's anyone's guess why it sold so well. But she says its start as a well-reviewed fan fiction was a definite boost. "You pay an author for their story by recommending it or writing a review, and that's how this story got its initial traction," she explains. "Aside from what became Fifty Shades of Grey, some of the most popular fan fiction stories are the most explicitly erotic stories."

The name Les Paul is synonymous with the electric guitar. As a player, inventor and recording artist, Paul has been an innovator his entire life. Born Lester William Polfuss in 1915 in Waukesha, Wisconsin, Paul built his first crystal radio at age nine - which was about the time he first picked up a guitar. By age 13 he was performing semi-professionally as a country-music guitarist and working diligently on sound-related inventions. In 1941, Paul built his first solid-body electric guitar, and he continued to make refinements to his prototype throughout the decade. It's safe to say that rock and ...full bio

"There is no, no, no place like New Orleans for music. The pioneers are here. We built the house. You can redecorate it, but we laid the foundation."
-Dave Bartholomew
We are very excited about this year's American Music Masters Series! The program, entitled "Walking to New Orleans: The Music of Fats Domino and Dave Bartholomew" will be held here in Cleveland November 8-13th. Domino, a legendary piano player, wonderful singer, and galvanizing performer, and Bartholomew, an accomplished trumpet player, arranger and bandleader, make up one of the great partnerships of rock and roll. They wrote more than 50 songs together, including "Ain't That a Shame," "Blue Monday," "I'm in Love Again" and "I'm Walkin.'" In a 1999 interview with the New Orleans Times-Picayune, Dave Bartholomew said "Fats and I, I think that the Lord put us together." Domino responded, "I'm pretty sure...Who else would do it?" We are so grateful to our honorees and their families for all their help in making this event possible. We met with them back in June, which Terry Stewart described in a previous blog post.
Because Domino and Bartholomew both predate rock and roll and are first generation rock & rollers, their work opens some great discussions about how we make distinctions between rock and roll and rhythm and blues. In 1956, Fats said, "Well, what they call rock and roll now is rhythm and blues. I've been playing it for fifteen years in New Orleans." And Domino's story reminds us that rock and roll helped beat down racial segregation—his concerts drew large, enthusiastic crowds of black and white young people who integrated the dance floor.
The music created by Fats Domino and Dave Bartholomew inspired the first generation of rock and roll artists like Little Richard, Elvis Presley and Jerry Lee Lewis, all who began their recording careers after Domino. Domino also had a big impact in England. The Beatles, the Rolling Stones, Van Morrison, Steve Winwood, and Elton John have all cited Domino as an influence on their sound. Reggae artists Bob Marley, Jimmy Cliff and Toots and the Maytals have all acknowledged Domino's impact.
In 1999, I saw Fats Domino play at the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage festival. It was a reunion with Bartholomew, a recognition of the 50th anniversary of "The Fat Man," their first record together, recorded in December of 1949 at Cosimo Matassa's J&M Studios in New Orleans. It was one of the most remarkable shows I've ever seen. The band was large and mighty—and included the legendary Herb Hardesty on saxophone—and laid down an irresistible backbeat. Fats played with so much energy and charisma—the farthest thing from an oldies show you could imagine. It reminded me of something that Ruth Brown once said of Fats Domino: "Of course his music is spiritual. That's what he's about and always was. It made you want to move. There was nothing you could do; you had to move."
Through the week of American Music Masters, along with our partners Case Western Reserve University, we plan to tell all these different stories—and more that we're still learning about--in events ranging from K-12 classes to a conference to our tribute show. To learn more, check out our web pages, where we have posted performance videos, interview footage and a whole host of recommended resources for learning more about Fats Domino and Dave Bartholomew. Click here to explore them, and we'll see you in November.

Controversy | Zainab Akhtar has a good roundup of the SodaStream controversy: A number of internationally known creators have protested SodaStream's sponsorship of the Angoulême International Comics Festival because the soft-drink manufacturer has a factory in the Israeli-occupied West Bank. "All of Israel's settlements in the Occupied West Bank are illegal under international law, and SodaStream's factory in specific was build on land seized from several Palestinian villages in what is regarded as the largest single act of expropriation by the Israeli government in its 47-year long military occupation of the West Bank," the organizers of the protest said in a statement. A number of artists, including Jacques Tardi (whose work was celebrated in a special exhibit at the show) have signed an open letter to festival organizer Frank Bondoux, asking him to end the relationship with SodaStream. Tardi also issued a statement saying he felt that he had been "taken hostage," as he did not know about the sponsorship until the festival began. [Comics and Cola]

The Arkansas School Boards Association is gathering as its members await the effect of an Arkansas Supreme Court decision on school funding.
Gov. Mike Beebe is to address the board members and administrators Friday during the group's annual convention in Little Rock.
Legislators say they are still weighing what steps they will have to take to accommodate the high court ruling that school districts can keep the money if they collect more in property tax revenues than state-mandated school funding levels.
Public school budgets account for more than $5 billion in total spending and they educate 460,000 students. The state has 239 school districts.

|2012 Observations:
2011 Observations: Stassi got hurt 31 games into the 2011 season and missed the rest of the year with a shoulder injury. You could tell that the injury was hurting him well before he went out of the lineup as he was primarily used as a DH. In total, 2011 was a wash for Max because of the injury. He is one of the most engaging athletes I've ever been around and was the star of the 2011 autograph session before the season. Stassi would talk to fans, flip his glove into the stands and sign hundreds of autographs. Stassi will return to the Stockton Ports to start the 2012 season.

Rated 5 out of 5 by 3 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Kayla365 Unique and comfortable at a great price I bought this chair on sale and absolutely love it. Not only does it provide a unique accent to my living room, it's comfortable to sit in as well. The color is my favorite aspect, it's a bit brighter than pictured and is more coral than red. The quality seems solid and it was fairly easy for me to put together by myself. So glad that I purchased it! June 7, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by DCdiva Great, long-lasting chair I own this chair in another color (a reddish color from 3 years ago). After 3 years of regular use as an office chair, an accent chair, and a primary seat during home renovations, I can honestly say that this chair is still in excellent condition. I am pretty hard on furniture since I have only a few pieces in a small downtown condo, but it has handled myself, guests, and pets well over the years. I hope World Market continues to offer these chairs for years to come, because I will continue to purchase these as I sell my house and buy another one with more space for trendy, cost efficient World Market pieces! January 24, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Victoria Love this Chair!! Simply fell in love with this chair!! so comfy... Installation was little tough but managed to do it with my 9yr old daughter's help! Great Value and Beautiful to my decor~~ January 9, 2013

Magnum Foundation Announces Emergency Fund Grants, Fellowships
Today the Magnum Foundation announced the recipients of its 2015 Emergency Fund grants, which support the production of in-depth documentary photography projects "that can no longer be funded through the media alone."
The 11 grantees were selected from more than 100 nominees from around the world. Their projects include investigations of Pakistan's legal system; the trafficking of Nigerian women to Italy; Turkish television studios; income inequality in the United States; and failed foreign aid projects in Sub-Saharan Africa.
The grantees are:
Asim Rafiqui, Curran Hatleberg, Elena Perlino, Emine Gozde Sevim, Guy Martin, Massimo Berruti, Matt Black, Nii Obodai Provencal, Pete Muller, Peter DiCampo and Peter van Agtmael.
An international committee of 15 photo editors, curators and educators nominated photographers for Emergency Fund grants. In addition to monetary support that will allow the photographers to travel to complete their projects, the Magnum Foundation also offers mentorship and distribution support to grantees.
The Magnum Foundation also announced the Abigail Cohen Fellowship in Documentary Photography, which supports projects focused on issues critical to China. Yuyang Liu and Souvid Datta are this year's fellows.
Finally, the foundation announced seven recipients of the Human Rights Fellowship, which offers young photographers from the global south scholarships to train at NYU's Tisch School of the Arts in New York. This year's Human Rights Fellows are Muyi Xiao (China), Nour Kelze (Syria), Anastasia Vlasova (Ukraine), Xyza Bacani (Hong Kong), Basel Alyazouri (Palestine), Sipho Mpongo (South Africa), and Chery Dieu Nalio (Haiti). The Human Rights Fellows were chosen from 576 applicants.

1. Don't bring your entire house to the beach with you. Dragging four chairs, two umbrellas, the air- conditioner-sized cooler, towels, extra towels, suntan lotions in three different SPF levels, a few thousand pages of reading material, plus enough food and drink to sustain everyone on the sand through a hurricane will not only make you seem old, it will make you feel it.
2. Don't wear a hat as big as a tent. Remember the enormous hat Samantha wore in the first Sex and the City movie? Hilarious. Effective, even. But wearing one in real life – make that any wide-brimmed straw hat – will make you seem old.
3. Quit slathering suntan lotion on everyone within reach. It's probably a mom thing, but younger women endlessly oil their own bodacious bodies, and older women oil everybody else's. Keep your hands, and your suntan lotion, to yourself.
4. Drop the heavy reading. My husband takes perverse pleasure in reading heavy books on the beach. Really heavy books, like Les Miserables, or War and Peace. But no one under 40 is reading anything heavier than last week's celebrity gossip.
5. Don't stand at the edge of the water forever. You know those old people who wade in up to their ankles, and then stand there, and stand there, and stand there, sometimes splashing a little water on their chests, their arms, yet never actually submerging themselves? Don't be one of those people.
6. Ignore those broken seashells. Seashell collecting is only for people under seven and over 70, so stop strolling along the waterfront, stopping every two feet to bend over and examine a cracked clamshell.
7. Don't plant your chair in the surf. This is one of those old-people things that I really enjoy doing and am not going to give up. Plant chair at waterline. Stretch out legs. Let surf wash up over your feet and butt. Look like you're 112. Don't care.

Obesity Ups Risk of Endometrial Cancer
New findings in the journal Obstetrics & Gynecology reveal women under 45 with a body mass index greater than 35—over 30 is considered obese—have nearly 22 times more risk of endometrial cancer. The study involved 421 women, ages 20 to 54, diagnosed with endometrial cancer and 3,159 randomly selected women. Data showed women younger than 45 at the time of their last period with a BMI above 35 had a 21.7 times higher risk of cancer; HealthDay News reports.
Luckily, maintaining healthy body weight and preventing cancer can be knocked out in one shot! According to Dr. Fuhrman, foods like fruits and vegetables are packed with fiber to keep you slim and plant foods are loaded of cancer-preventing nutrients and phytochemicals.
In related news, obesity in late adolescence to early adulthood—specifically 14 to 30 years of age—was found to increase risk of pancreatic cancer by as high as 60%.

I remember back in the early 70's when we took our first trips and I was so frustrated taking photos because all I had was a little Kodak 110 cartridge camera and it was before 400-speed film was invented so it just wasn't possible to take any decent low-light photos. Your only possible photo at night was with a nasty flash that washed everything out. . . .I used to sit at sunset and just wish I could capture the glow, the fading light, the feeling and ambiance of the evening in canoe country. Or the fire. Or get a decent photo of the moon. Now I know "possible" is relative. I am sure if I had had a large-format camera with glass plates and a huge tripod and a really professional setup with me I could have done that. But I am talking about your average amateur photographer, who can NOW go up with a good digital (or even a film) camera and take these beautiful night shots. Just sitting on the shore admiring the sunset, or watching the fire.I've felt the same way and also appreciate everyone sharing. I would love to know what kind of camera everyone uses to get these beautiful shots. All I have is a Nikon Coolpix, but would love to upgrade.I am thankful for the advances in photography. And for all of you who are sharing such great images."

Sixteen days remain until the opening of the Rock Hall's Women Who Rock exhibit - the first of its kind documenting nearly a century's worth of music featuring more than 70 female artists, filling two entire floors of the museum with costumes, instruments, handwritten lyrics, video and listening stations, plus much more.
After the paint had dried, the next step in the exhibit creation was hanging the original artwork installation on the top floor of the exhibit. Our exhibit designer originally came up with the idea of a kind of sculpture, made up of album covers of all female artists, to serve as the crowning glory of the exhibit. I was particularly excited by this idea, as I am an old-school, vinyl LP lover. For me, a huge part of the experience of music has been holding a 12 by 12 album cover in my hands, minutely examining the artwork, the liner notes, the credits – CDs and MP3s just don't work the same way.
So, we set out to identify the most iconic female album covers to include in this original artwork , with an emphasis on showing the diversity and breadth of female artists. The choice of some of the album covers was obvious – for instance – Patti Smith's Horses or the Go-Gos' Beauty and the Beat. Others, we hope, are more unexpected, like the Big Mama Thornton cover, or This Is Barbara Lynn, which shows a strong, beautiful female artist, not in a glamorous headshot or seductive pose, but actually playing a guitar. The album sculpture also presented a great opportunity for us to include artists that we were otherwise unable to represent, and thus expand the scope of the exhibit.
The sculpture - created by Better Mousetrap and features a total of 84 24"x24" album covers made of silk-screened acrylic fabric - took about a month to create. The 21 panels span across the circumfrence of the top floor of the exhibit, which is also the top floor of the museum itself.
Catch a glimpse of this original artwork installation below, and don't forget Women Who Rock opens May 13th!

Heading toward the determination of the winner of the 2013-14 Learfield Sports Directors' Cup, gostanford.com will provide a progression of each of Stanford's 19 consecutive victories. Here is the 17th, in 2010-11:
Directors' Cup No. 17 (2010-11) | 2010-11 Season In Photos
Nothing embodied Stanford's sustained excellence in athletics as much as what that number represented: 100 NCAA team championships.
The first was achieved on a dusty Chicago oval, at the 1925 track and field championships. The 100th also was achieved in the Midwest, this time in Columbus, Ohio, at the men's gymnastics finals.
On April 15, 2011, Cardinal gymnastics scored 363.450 points to defeat second-place Oklahoma handily, and to earn the right to unveil the No. 100 banner. The women's water polo team took it a step further, winning No. 101.
In the process, Stanford wrapped up its 17th consecutive Learfield Sports Directors' Cup, scoring a record 1,550.25 points. Sixteen Stanford teams finished among the Top 10 in NCAA sports (not including a second consecutive IRA women's lightweight rowing title), including 10 inside the top five.
The most notable achievement came not from an NCAA championship team, but from a football program that rose from 1-11 to 12-1 in four years. The Cardinal, behind the feats of junior quarterback Andrew Luck, among an increasingly great collection of talent, reached the Orange Bowl and completed its best season since 1940 by routing Virginia Tech, 40-12.
Luck, in his second season as a starter, began to grow a legend. As if his passing accomplishments weren't enough, he fumble-causing hit on a USC defensive back his collision into a Cal defender on a downfield run looped endlessly on the nation's sports highlight shows.
Another legend developed as well, that of two-way starter Owen Marecic. The fullback-linebacker was called "the perfect football player," by coach Jim Harbaugh and lived up to that compliment with his exploits on both offense and defense.
Against Notre Dame, Marecic scored on offense and defense only 13 seconds apart, first on a one-yard run and then, on Notre Dame's next play from scrimmage, on an interception return. In those 13 seconds, Stanford's lead grew from 19-6 to 34-6 during Stanford's first victory at Notre Dame since 1992.
The Orange Bowl victory unleashed a level of joy that had been building for years. When the team reached the hotel after the game, coach Jim Harbaugh stood at the entrance of each team bus as it rolled in, congratulating every player and coach and staff member, with a hug, handshake or slap on the back, as they stepped off.
The players walked off the bus and into a tunnel of fans who had made the cross-country trip. Their cheering and yelling could be heard all the way to South Beach.
It was during that trip, that the football team took a break from its preparation, to watch basketball. On national television, the Stanford women were locked in a battle of their own, against No. 1 Connecticut and its' record 90-game winning streak.
Jeanette Pohlen scored a career-high 31 points, hitting five three-pointers, to lead the Cardinal to a 71-59 victory, UConn's first loss since a 2008 NCAA final at the hands of the Cardinal. The season ended in the NCAA semifinals, with a 63-62 loss to Texas A&M, completing a 33-3 season.
A day later, coach Tara Van Derveer, was elected into the Naismith Memorial Hall of Fame.
Nick Amuchastegui didn't carry the same name cache as, say, Luck or basketball All-America Nnemkadi Ugwumike. But Amuchastegui, an All-America wrestler, was one of those great Stanford stories nonetheless.
"Wrestling," Amuchastegui said, "Is one of the sports where if you are willing to try harder than anybody else, putting in more training and wanting to win more than the other person, there is a difference that significantly plays into the outcome of the match."
In Talent, Ore., a town up against the Siskiyou Mountains in the southern end of the Rogue Valley, Amuchastegui grew up fishing, hunting, and baling hay. His parents taught him to be physically and mentally strong.
Amuchastegui, who carried a 3.98 GPA, became the second Stanford wrestler ever to reach an NCAA final and led the Cardinal to its best NCAA finish, of 11th place.
"My dad used to always tell me what his grandma used to tell him and he would say, `I don't care if you end up being a ditch digger so long as you become the best ditch digger there ever was,'" Amuchastegui said. "`Dig the deepest, straightest ditches and I'll be the happiest dad in the world.'"
Christen Press followed the feat of former teammate Kelley O'Hara by winning the Hermann Trophy as the best women's soccer player in the country. Press led the nation's women's soccer players in goals (26) and points (60) while helping the Cardinal reach the College Cup final and a 23-1-2 record. Her 26 goals tied the school's single-season scoring record, set in 2009 by O'Hara.
Press left as the most prolific scorer in Stanford history, establishing the career record in goals (71), assists (41) and points (183). She earned Pac-10 Conference Player of the Year and NSCAA first-team All-America honors, and was a first-team Academic All-American and the Pac-10's Scholar-Athlete of the Year.
And, she was a winner. Stanford had an impressive 67-0-1 record when Press had a goal or assist during her collegiate career.

Ranked among the nation's most integrated healthcare systems, Community Health Network is Central Indiana's leader in providing convenient access to exceptional healthcare services, where and when patients need them—in hospitals, health pavilions, workplaces, schools and homes.
Arthritis and other rheumatic diseases are characterized by pain, swelling, and limited movement in joints and connective tissues in the body. An estimated 46 million people in the US suffer from arthritis in one form or another, according to the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases.
Arthritis, which literally means inflammation of a joint (where two or more bones meet), actually refers to more than 100 different diseases. Rheumatic diseases include any diseases that cause pain, stiffness, and swelling in joints or other supportive body structures, such as muscles, tendons, ligaments, and bones. In fact, the group of arthritis diseases falls under the category of rheumatic diseases.
Arthritis and other rheumatic diseases are often mistakenly associated with old age, because osteoarthritis (the most common form of arthritis) occurs more often among older persons. However, arthritis and other rheumatic diseases affect people of all ages. Arthritis affects nearly 300,000 children in the US.

Wrestling Tops F&M 31-7, Prepares For Home Trio, Alumni Weekend
The win couldn't have come at a better time, as the Tigers will host Alumni Weekend coming up. Following a Friday night match against Sacred Heart, led by former Princeton assistant Andy Lausier, Princeton will host Ivy contests against both Brown (10 am) and Harvard (2:30 pm) on Saturday.
The Tigers trailed briefly in the match against an F&M team with strength in the lower weights. Princeton freshman Max Rogers got the match started with a 10-0 major decision at 125, but the Tigers would find themselves trailing 7-4 two matches later.
It wouldn't last long.
Senior co-captain Zach Bintliff did his job, turning the momentum against 22-win freshman Andrew Murano with a 6-3 victory. Sophomore Kyle Roddy followed up with a tough 6-5 win at 157, giving Princeton the lead for good.
Princeton used bonus points in the next three matches to open a comfortable margin. Sophomore Judd Ziegler scored a 9-1 major decision at 165, and junior Ryan Callahan returned from injury to score a 15-0 technical fall at 174.
Freshman Scott Gibbons leads the team in wins, and it didn't take long to improve on that total. He pinned Paul Alessandrini III in 55 seconds at 184 to build the lead to an insurmountable 25-7 total. Following a 7-0 win by Dan Santoro at 197, senior Charles Fox picked up his second win of the season with a 6-4 overtime victory.

It must be tough being the child of someone in professional sports. After all, you're subjected to the same scrutiny as your parents even when you're not asking for the spotlight.
Devon La Russa, daughter of St. Louis Cardinals manager Tony La Russa, deleted an offensive tweet on her twitter account @devonkai in reference to Texas Rangers manager Ron Washington, Yahoo! Sports caught.
"I saw a crack head doing 'The Wash' today. Coincidence? I think not…"
La Russa deleted the tweet and later apologized and seems to have deleted her twitter page following the incident.
I truly did not mean to be offensive! It's a phrase I use, meant as a joke. Please don't be offended! Go Cards!!"
Ron Washington tested positive for cocaine and admitted and apologized for his drug problem in 2009, but has been clean for two years.
Let's be honest though. Fans hit below the belt all the time on twitter, facebook, comments sections of stories, etc and there's no reason to judge her any differently. La Russa's kid made a bad decision given her father's platform and let her emotions get the best of her as the Rangers tied the Cardinals 2-2 in the 2011 World Series.
But clearly, she learned a valuable lesson about social media.

TUCSON, Ariz. – Krista Vansant recorded a match-high 14 kills to lift No. 6 Washington (12-1, 4-1 Pac-12) to a 3-1 (25-10, 25-20, 20-25, 25-20) victory over visiting Arizona (12-5, 2-3 Pac-12) on Friday night inside Alaska Airlines Arena.
Vansant also added 11 digs for a double-double. The Huskies out-hit the Wildcats, .276 to .176 on the night, while also out-blocking the Cats, 12.0 to 7.0.
Three Wildcats recorded double-figure kills on the night, led by Madi Kingdon with 13 with eight digs. Jane Croson added 12 kills and five digs, while Taylor Arizobal had 10 kills, six digs and three blocks. Penina Snuka recorded her seventh double-double of the season as she dished out 33 assists with 14 digs. Candace Nicholson had 14 digs and Ronni Lewis contributed 11 digs for the Cats.
It was all Washington in the opening set as it jumped out to a 4-0 lead and the Huskies cruised to a 25-10 victory. UW hit an incredible .391 in the set, while Arizona hit -.148.
The Wildcats got off to a solid start in the second set as they jumped out to a 12-9 advantage. Then, with Arizona in front 13-11, Washington reeled off five straight points to gain the 16-13 lead. The Wildcats were not able to put together a run as the Huskies took the set, 25-20. UW was solid once again offensively as it hit .317, while Arizona was solid as well with a .314 attack percentage.
Arizona started strong for the second straight set as it won the first four points of the frame. The Wildcats kept their foot on the pedal as they won wire-to-wire in the set, 25-21. Arizona hit a solid .306 in the frame, while its defense held the Huskies to just .053.
The beginning of the fourth set was back and forth with neither team able to pull away until Washington broke an 11-11 tie with three straight points to pull in front 14-11. Washington tried to pull away as it extended its lead to five on several occasions, but Arizona battled back to cut the lead to one at 21-20, which forced a UW timeout. The Huskies won the next four points following the timeout to seal up the victory, 25-20.
The Wildcats remain in Washington as they will battle Washington State on Sunday at 1 p.m. The match will air live on the Pac-12 Networks.

Tennis Tigers Split Consolation Matches on Second Day at National Indoors
Matija Pecotic won his consolation match Friday at the USTA/ITA National Indoor Intercollegiate Championships and Amanda Muliawan came close to doing the same.
Pecotic defeated Georgia State's Victor Valente in short order, 6-1, 6-0, a day after losing just his second match of the fall season. Pecotic will face Cameron Silverman of Elon in an 11 a.m. consolation quarterfinal match Saturday at the National Tennis Center in New York.
"Matija bounced back with a good win today and played well start to finish," Princeton men's head coach Billy Pate said. "He displayed a great attitude from the onset and it showed in his focus and execution. Tomorrow is another challenge and another opportunity."
In other men's action, Zack McCourt and Dan Richardson opened play at the clay-court Lakewood Ranch Invitational. McCourt defeated Chris Haworth of Oklahoma State 3-6, 7-5, 7-5, while Richardson lost to Gordon Watson of Florida 4-6, 7-5, 6-2. The Princeton duo also won a doubles match against Haworth and Richard Del Nunzio from Oklahoma State 8-5.
Muliawan was two games from pulling off what would have been a huge upset against Texas A&M's Cristina Sanchez-Quintanar, who was ranked No. 4 in the nation on the preseason ITA list. The freshman Muliawan won the first set 6-4 and was up 4-3 in the second set before the Aggie senior rallied to force a third set. Sanchez-Quintanar came away with a 4-6, 6-4, 6-4 win to move on in the consolation bracket.
"Amanda played some high quality tennis today," Princeton women's assistant coach Sadhaf Fath said. "She had her opportunity to go up 5-3 in the second set and put pressure on Cristina to hold to stay in the match. Cristina showed us today why she is No. 4 in the country. Her best tennis came out on the big points. Amanda being exposed to this type of high-level tennis and being so close in beating the best players in the nation shows that Amanda is going to be, and is, a top player. As a coach, I am very proud of Amanda and I know this experience has made her a better player."
More information on the tournament, including updated draws, are available here.

Using only the highest quality goose down in all of our products, The North Face® tests each lot of down at three stages of production for loftiness, moisture resistance and ability to regain loft after compression.
The fill power of goose down is an indicator of two important features: warmth-to-weight ratio and compressibility, both critical to retain warmth and furnish comfort. True fill power is measured by placing one ounce of goose down in a graduated cylinder and measuring the volume the down occupies in cubic inches. The North Face® products are insulated with exclusive, high-fill power goose down ranging from 550 to 900 fill, which represents the highest quality down commercially available.

Rated 3.3 out of 5 by 13 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Brie1992 Great lamp I love this lamp. I bought it while I was in college and I still love it. Produces a good amount of light without hurting the eyes. Be warned though, if you need to move and take the lamp with you, you will want to be very very careful October 2, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by sangrita I am very happy with the Kabuki Lamp I had a clear ideas of what I needed and after months of looking...there it was! December 14, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Office Decorator perfect lamp for my office I bought this lamp to replace an old torchiere style lamp for my office at work. It sits in a corner next to my guest chair and creates a soft 'zen' type lighting effect for my office guests. Looks great with CFL bulbs and transforms my dull corporate office space with it's spa-like effect. Everyone loves to visit me in my office now. The construction is a little bit flimsy in my opinion, but really not an issue for a low traffic area and it looks fantastic on or off. April 5, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 by Mile high shopper Economical but classy light I would tell all my friends and family about this lighting fixture. I will be purchasing a couple more before the holidays. November 3, 2010
Rated 5 out of 5 by Massage Therapist Great buy and I love it! I love the look of this floor lamp. It is very relaxing and very zen like decor.The rice paper is a bit thin ,very fragile, so be careful where you put it, make sure it is not a high traffic area where someone can knock it over and rip, tear,or poke a hole on it. The two metal that comes with it is a little bit flimsy,and the screws that comes with it were a bit big for the size to keep the metal wire connected to each other, I used clear packing tape to hold them together.It stands a little bit crooked but not too obvious.It is a great lamp! Very soothing, very relaxing and very Zen. I love it :) July 7, 2010
Rated 4 out of 5 by creativespirit Creates Ambiance but tricky to put together I have mixed opinions about this lamp. Once it's put together it creates a great atmosphere with lighting and the texture has a great visual effect. I love the finished look to it a lot. However putting it together left me scratching my head and swearing for a good hour. The instructions were more confusing than they had to be with no written instructions and only confusing picture diagrams. There is an unnecessary plastic piece on the bottom of the base that is supposed to wrap around the cord and be screwed in, but for the life of me I couldn't get it to match the instructions. So I just left it hanging and winged it. It's slightly tilted when finished, so there's that. Also it's kind of flimsy, I wouldn't recommend if you have kids or dogs. But in spite of those things I think it looks really nice when finished. September 20, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by libramamarama Good buy/ nice light I almost popped for a more expensive fixture, but am thrilled with this one. The diffused light is perfect for the corner I needed to brighten up. October 23, 2010
Rated 4 out of 5 by angie the student Great for the price This lamp gives off a nice soft lighting and is very attractive looking. The on/off switch on the cord started smoking, we caught it in time and don't use the switch anymore. It is also hard to change the bulbs. For the price, it's a very good looking lamp. I get compliments all the time. February 10, 2010

The film is true collaborative art. Untouched.
More than 8,500 hours of footage of people living out their daily routines was submitted from 1,092 countries.
I imagine there's a stockpile of footage worthy of additional films.
I also imagine that the editor needs a seriously awesome vacation.
Produced by blockbuster Brits the Scott brothers (Ridley and Tony) and directed by Kevin Macdonald, the final cut of Life in a Day - a YouTube experiment sewing together user-generated footage shot on a single day, July 24, 2010 - is a compelling addition to the form.
From the first image of the rise of a gigantic moon, we peek in on an American woman fresh from a double mastectomy talking to her son, a Russian Parkour expert tearing up a city, goat herders from the Ukraine still in their fields, an English student imbibing with his father upon graduation...
The film shows how artistic our world is as a landscape and as a society.
This beautiful portrayal of life is shown to us like any normal day.
We get up. We get dressed. We go to the bathroom.
As boring as that sounds, the storytelling here is so seamless - that the movie jumps between different lives around the world doesn't occur to the viewer.
It's the human story. It can be sad, funny, depressing, disgusting, inspirational and dreamy all at the same time.
I loved this film. It reminds me of Koyaanisqatsi ...which shows the humor and elegance to our crazy world.

Zend\Crypt\Password\Bcrypt throws exception "Error during the bcrypt generation" when "create" method is called. I work with Zend Server that uses version "5.3.8-ZS5.5.0" of PHP. I think maybe the wrong salt prefix ($2y$) is selected because the exception is not thrown if I force the code to use "$2a$" as prefix.
This is odd because the "$2y$" prefix should be used instead of "$2a$" starting from PHP 5.3.7+ (for more details: http://www.php.net/security/crypt_blowfish.php). Can you show me the snippet code that you are trying to execute?
I use the ZfcUser module of Evan Coury that provide authentication feature. The "$hash" variable of \Zend\Crypt\Password\Bcrypt::create method has always a length of 13.
