The Director, Oscar winner in 88 for "Nuovo cinema Paradiso" presented yesterday at Trieste some fresh news. He's shooting a film that deals with actually: "cinema" and "the idea of the world of auctions".

Music will be done by Ennio Morricone.
The filming will take place in other parts of Friuli Venezia Giulia (it is realized with the collaboration of regional film commission) then will move to Wien, Prague, Rome, Milan.
Tornatore is back. Stay tunned.

A House panel is again considering a proposal to place a cap on the growth of Arkansas' government.
House Republican Leader Rep. Bruce Westerman of Hot Springs is expected Tuesday to bring his spending cap proposal back before the House Revenue and Taxation Committee.
The proposal would limit growth in most of the state's annual expenditures to either 3 percent or the three-year average increase in the state's gross domestic product, whichever is less. Gov. Mike Beebe opposes the bill, saying it would "wreak havoc" on the state's budget.
The panel approved an initial version of Westerman's bill but he's since amended it to specify that the cap applies to spending from net annual revenue and not gross revenue. Westerman says he's considering other changes to the bill.

They came, they showed, they conquered. So many beauties at 84th Annual Academy Awards but only a select few made my best dressed list. Check them out below and let me know if you agree!
Instead of having a weekly or monthly obsession over an article of clothing or a piece of jewelry, I suffer from daily obsessions. This might have something to do with all of the hours I spend in department stores, boutiques and closets. This doesn't mean that tomorrow I will be over today's obsession. It just means that tomorrow I will have another obsession to add on today's obsession.
So, as I was sitting down for dinner, I found myself really obsession over today's obsession (I may or may not suffer from OCD) so I decided that I had to blog about it. Today's obsession which will still be tomorrow's obsession is Helmut Lang. Check out some of the beauties below. I would describe the pieces below as simple and elegant with a slight edge. The jersey drapes so beautifully – it's DELICIOUS!

Its at that time of year when we begin to put our sandals in storage and replace them with flats for the colder weather. Flats are so elegant and can really bring a sophisticated touch to your outfit.
Please keep your jewelry organized so when you go for an item, it isn't tangled and you can find it easily. I love to keep my jewelry on trays. www.gemsondisplay.com has great black trays with black tray liners. Very inexpensive and keeps all of my jewelry super organized.
If you prefer to hang your jewelry, an elegant jewelry tree like the one pictured here is a great option. This is available on Amazon. com

Last September in San Francisco Facebook held its annual developer conference F8. Creative agency Obscura Digital added a little spice to the event with their interactive physical installation constructed from participants Facebook social graph data they dubbed "Connections".
Attendees swipe into the experience using their RFID enabled event badges and the system gathers their profile information to be displayed using a combination of 3D tracking cameras and overhead data mapping projectors. Once connected into the system a visualized "fingerprint" of colored lines are created between people who share one or more data points with each other (mutual friends, workplaces, schools, locations, etc).
Positioned behind the installation is a screen sharing data about the collective group of participants and allowing for observers of the installation to be a part of the fun. The screens surface common interests, likes, and provide additional details about the most connected of the group.
The Connections project hints at to a future where our online world is hidden less in a Cloud and physical spaces are enriched by our online social profiles and histories. Is this a creepy glimpse into the future of increased privacy intrusions or a welcome dose of the merging of our online and offline worlds?


text: Hi everyone, I would like to be able to mount a cannon on top of my base and shoot different types of cannon balls, each type with different kinds of damage and materials required to craft. In order to be able to use the cannon, another requirement would be that you would have to have one of the new banners in your base to define what color of team you are on. The reason for this is that if you are in a PVP server you could have multiple cannons in different bases, and if you hit a friendly base by accident, it won't destroy their base. Personally I would like Flags to be added and use them instead of the banners to define teams, but w/e. Once you finally build a cannon and mount it on your base and put up a banner/flag, this would trigger a new boss fight, it would be: "The Goblin Castle" WTF? GOBLINS DON'T LIVE IN CASTLES!!!!!!111one I know, but I like goblins and castles and it's my suggestion so yeah... The Goblins would have one or two cannons on their castle aswell and start periodically shooting cannon balls at your base in an attempt to destroy it, apart from that, goblins would also come to your base to invade just like in the goblin invasion battle thing. Inside the Goblin castle, there would be a Goblin king, and to win you would have to destroy enough of their castle for them to flee (80% ?) or destroy enough of their castle so that a cannon ball could hit and kill the king or so that you could break in and kill the king yourself. Goblin Castles would spawn not too far but not too close to your base. Cannon balls and explosions would destroy most stuff, but not chests so you can loot after the battle. Killing the Goblin King gives a rare chance to drop a piece of Goblin King Armor: Goblin King Armor: blah blah blah, I don't know what for stats BUT! the set bonus would be: SET BONUS: Launch Rocket Rockets are controlable and are crafted with 3 dynamite and 3 bombs and cause a little more damage than 1 stick of dynamite, there would have to be a cooldown for shooting a rocket and a mana cost. Rockets have a max stack of 1. Other requirements to activate the battle: you would first have to win a Goblin Invasion, and get a drop called "CANNON BARREL" (this way when their castle shows up, they have come back for revenge) after this, you would have to break enough Orbs of Darkness to fin a "Goblin Cannon Hull" and finally, Skeletron must have been defeated, the reason for this being to ensure that you are well enough equipped for this destructive and dangerous battle. On to the crafting and how it works stuff. To craft the cannon you need to have the "Cannon Barrel" and the "Goblin Cannon Hull" the Cannon once placed would be about 7 blocks wide by 4 blocks tall? IDK but that seems about right to me. in order to fire each shot from the cannon, it would require 1 stick of dynamite + 1 cannon ball. If you personally are firing the cannon, your camera would follow the shot so as to get a clear picture of where your hits are landing. To aim, it would work with ballistics similar to how it worked on games like gorillas for QBASIC (in DOS, yeah.... old school) or Scorched earth or charred dirt or other games like those. Left and Right would shift the barrel's position and Up and Down would set the cannons firing power or range. The Cannon Balls: Each tier 1 cannon ball would take 250 blocks of its corresponding material to craft. Each tier 2 cannon balls have their own specific requirments of material to craft. I'm Kind of iffy about tier 3 cannon balls but i will mention them anyway. Each type of cannon ball has a specific kind of effect Tier 1: -Sand/Mud/Ash Cannon Ball these cannon balls cause no damage but if they hit a mob or player they cause massive knockback (even with a cobalt shield on) -Dirt Cannon ball no explosion, only destroys wood, dirt and mud, not very big destruction. -Stone Cannon ball no explosion, destroys wood, Stone, dirt, mud and brick, intermediate destruction. Copper/Iron/Silver/Gold Cannon Ball small explosion, depending on the material you get more or less structre destruction. Destroys all kinds of material, the more durable the material, the less it destroys. Maybe some materials will recieve almost no damage, such as Ebonstone or Dungeon blocks. Tier 2: (from here on out, all the cannon balls are intended for PVP) -Corruption Cannon Ball Crafted with 250 Ebonstone, 1 Demonite bar, 10 rotten chunks, 5 bombs and 1 seed of corrpution. Wherever it hits, eaters of souls will start to spawn. Medium explosion, intermediate destruction. All kinds of material can be destroyed. -Meteorite Cannon Ball Crafted with 150 meteorite blocks, 1 dynamite, 5 bombs and 250 meteorite shots, where it hits, meteor heads will start to spawn. Medium explosion, large destruction. All kinds of material can be destroyed. -HellStone Cannon Ball Crafted with 500 hellstone ores, 3 dynamite, 9 bombs 5 spikey balls and 3 buckets of lava. Where it hits, it also spawns lava. Largest explosion, largest damage. All kinds of material will be destroyed, GUARANTEED! And now the "IFFY TIER 3" only one cannon ball so far: -Cuthulhu Cannon Ball Crafted with 100 lenses and 50 dark lenses, eats throo materials like a mole for 10 blocks distance once it hits. Spawns the eye of Cthulhu near the location where it hits. No explosion. I wish I hade drawing skills To show off the Goblin King and armor, rockets, Cannons and Cannon Balls but I don't. If anyone would like to support this idea and make sprites, that would be awesome! Any feedback is welcome.

UCF Advances in NCAA Women's Soccer Tournament
Nov. 10, 2012
No. 18 UCF kicked off the NCAA Tournament with a bang Friday night as the Knights rallied from a 1-0 deficit to eliminate Miami (Fla.) from the first round. After tying the match, 1-1, and playing through the two overtime periods, UCF took penalty kicks, 5-3.
UCF (17-4-2) advanced to the second round for the sixth-consecutive year and will face Florida in Gainesville next weekend.
Late heroics by junior D Ashley Nicol, who scored her sixth goal of the season off a diving header with less than six minutes in regulation, sent the match to overtime. UCF topped Miami in overtime earlier this season, but neither team budged an inch Friday through 20 minutes of extra play, forcing a shootout.
Freshman Allie Gerry put the game away with UCF's last penalty kick as fans erupted on the sideline and her teammates piled around her in euphoria.
"I was very impressed with the PKs. They all tucked in nicely," UCF head coach Amanda Cromwell said. "To battle like we did, that game was tough in a lot of ways. Miami is a very athletic team with a very long throw-in that causes a lot of problems."
Although Nicolette Radovcic nearly put UCF on the scoreboard in the first five minutes with a 1v1 opportunity with UM's keeper, Miami would end up striking first.
The Hurricanes snapped the Knights' seven-match shutout streak when Shannon McCarthy's long throw in found Kate Howarth inside the box. She headed it on to Ally Andreini on the far post, and Andreini headed it in for a 1-0 lead in the 19th minute.
Goalkeeper Lianne Maldonado came up with two huge saves off attempts by Howarth in the 74th minute, allowing the Knights to stay on the Canes' heels.
"Lianne is the reason we were still in the game, 1-0, so I can't say enough about her play tonight," Cromwell said.
UCF couldn't capitalize on several scoring opportunities in the second half until midfielder Madison Barney forwarded a ball to the far post, where Nicol sent a diving header past the keeper to tie the game 1-1 in the 84th minute.
"During warmup, I kept hitting my headers high. Coach said you have to hit them low," Nicol said. "So right when Madi headed it, I envisioned diving for it."
Radovcic had two good looks at goal during the first overtime period, but neither found the back of the net, and the teams lined up at midfield to settle the game in a shootout.
Tishia Jewell, Jennifer Martin, Nicol and Radovcic all finished their attempts with finesse to take a 4-3 advantage when Miami's Andreini stepped up for her attempt. Her shot hit the crossbar, and Gerry came out on top to end the game and keep UCF's postseason alive.
Colorado College completed its season as the Tigers were eliminated by host Denver, 3-1, in more NCAA first round action. The triumph avenged a 1-0 loss to the Tigers in the 2012 season opener and ended an outstanding campaign for CC, which finished 14-4-5 while earning the program's 10th NCAA bid and first since 2006. Sophomore Kaeli Vandersluis scored the lone goal for Colorado College in the 78th minute, with an assist from senior MF Hannah Peterson.

Four Dollar Click Creates Easy Jobs That Pay Well at FourDollarClick.com
New York — This week http://FourDollarClick.com unveiled a new program that pays individuals $4 every time they click on clients' online ad links. The idea is members can click 1,000 ads to earn $4,000.
"Click on a few ads each evening after work or on your lunch break and you can bring in $4,000 extra cash within a short time. That's pretty amazing earnings for a part-time job," said Tom Rogers of Click Profits International, parent company of FourDollarClick.com and a new stable of similar businesses and sites.
FourDollarClick.com takes advantage of the need for people to bring traffic to advertisers. Services use their employees to view and click on ads. In this case, FourDollarClick.com has turned the activity into a work-from-anywhere business anyone can run.
"This is easy work. And I don't have to tell you how unusual it is to earn $4,000 from easy work that requires no extra training. That just doesn't happen, except here," Rogers said.
The unusual business model has prompted some critics to surmise Four Dollar Click may be a scam. So FourDollarClick.com publishes running totals of their members and earnings paid out to members. At present FourDollarClick.com has nearly 12,000 members and has paid close to $1 million in member commissions.
"We've got a lot of members who have turned this into their full-time profession. It's no problem to click several hundred ads per day, pulling down $8,000 per month. And that is a lot more than most people earn in their regular jobs," Rogers said.
FourDollarClick.com offers complete training and the system needed to work in the business. Commissions are paid immediately once the member reaches $4,000.
FourDollarClick.com sees itself as a positive force in an economy where good incomes are increasingly associated exclusively with long years of training and difficult jobs. "We're showing you don't have to be a brain surgeon to earn $100,000 per year," Rogers said.

In the last few days, organizers of the Nitefall on the River summer concert series have added three more dates to their 2014 concert schedule. Here are the details on new Nitefall shows from Sister Hazel, Ingrid Michaelson, and Trampled by Turtles.
Gainesville, Florida's Sister Hazel will play Nitefall's Simon Estes Amphitheater on July 25 at 8 p.m. The "All For You" (featured video) alt-rockers bring their platinum-selling sound to Des Moines to celebrate the release of their upcoming DVD 20 Stages. Tickets for the all ages Nitefall show are $15, and they may be purchased at all Ticketfly outlets. No opener has been announced for this show.
On Sunday, August 10, New York-based indie pop singer Ingrid Michaelson (featured slideshow) will take the Nitefall stage for a 7 p.m. all ages show. Michaelson's April 15 release Lights Out became her second straight to top the Indie chart and her second straight to peak at #5 on the Billboard 200 and #2 on the Rock chart. The album's first single, "Girls Chase Boys" became Michaelson's highest charting single to date, topping out at #10 on the Rock chart and #12 on the Adult Pop chart. Tickets to see the indie pop star at Simon Estes Amphitheater will be $30 when they go on sale this Friday at 10 a.m. through Ticketfly. Nashville modern folk act Neulore will open the show.

The first artist to be featured in the Texas Country Series is Brandon Jenkins. If you haven't heard his name before, get used to hearing it now.
Jenkins currently resides in Austin, but can be found touring all over, including frequent trips to the Dallas area. If Jenkins happens to be in your area, do not miss him. His music sounds awesome recorded but, his live shows bring something extra to each song.
On January 15th, he played at Billy Bob's in Fort Worth, followed by a January 22nd at Hank's in McKinney.
For me, Brandon Jenkins has a sound that encompasses a little bit of Lynard Skynard, Trace Adkins, Hank Williams, Jr., Mississippi John Hurt, Howlin' Wolf, and something else that I cannot quite place yet. Then there is a whole lot of something that makes him his own.
Not only does Jenkins' sound grasp hold of you but his songs will pull you into becoming a huge fan, if you aren't already. This is evident at the shows, when the entire crowd will sing along with almost all of the songs, remaining quiet only during the new songs and then cheering loudly at the end of those. It is impossible to stand there watching Brandon Jenkins and not feel the energy of each song.
Many artists have a problem with each of their songs sounding so similar to the others, but Jenkins' is not one of those artists. Each song has its own personality and story. From the fast upbeat songs to the slower ballads, every song will take you on its own journey and lets you know exactly what its emotions and feelings are meant to be.
Brandon Jenkins will be back in Dallas soon, so check out his schedule below and be sure to visit him on MySpace and his website for more up to date information.
There are new singers popping up on the Texas Country scene all the time. Some are really good and some, not so much. So be sure to keep checking back to read the opinions of this examiner on those artists that fall in the Texas Country genre.

Is there any way to create a desired topology of EC2 instances?
For example, can I create a 3 node topology of nodes A, B, C where C gets the public IP address and B and A are connected to it. Something like:
Internet <--> C <--> B <--> A
B and A only get private IP addresses and there is no way for the traffic to reach A before hitting B and C. This means I can install whatever I want to install on C and B to filter, cache etc.
I'm going through EC2 documentation but so far I have not seen anything that talks about it. I will really appreciate if anyone knows how to do this on EC2

Date: December 05 2012
A judge in South Africa has sentenced the man convicted of being the triggerman in the 2010 honeymoon slaying of a British bride to life in prison.
Judge Robert Henney handed down the sentence on Wednesday in the trial of Xolile Mngeni, arrested for the killing of 28-year-old Anni Dewani.
Prosecutors say Mngeni was hired by Dewani's British husband to carry out the November 2010 killing, which was made to look like a car hijacking in Cape Town's Gugulethu township.
In August, Mngeni's alleged accomplice Mziwamadoda Qwabe pleaded guilty to charges over the slaying. Dewani's widow, Shrien Dewani, is fighting extradition to South Africa and has denied he orchestrated the killing.

Assassin's Creed 3 Revealed
Apparently this fall players will be able to take on a new adventure set during the revolutionary war. Seems interesting. I was personally hoping for the third game to be based in Victorian London.
What does everyone think?
I was hoping AC3 would be following a female protagonist and that the historical setting would be feudal Japan and your character would be a ninja... but *sigh* I guess this is okay.
Native American? YESSSSSS!
You know something I've ignored the last few installments but when I saw the poster the other day I freaked out...in my quiet little way where I keep it contained but inside my head my voice is going crazy as I'm bouncing off the walls of the inner recesses of my brain. I'm glad to see Native Americans getting some kind of glamorous mainstream recognition (in video games) for once. It's about time.
So anyway I have not payed attention much to AC if at all. Ordinarily I'd just pass it over unless it was something else of interest. Like chinese or japanese--maybe. But this is awesome. Coming up on 1776, formation of America's republic.
I'm on the edge about this, I just may set aside some $$$ to get this. So AC's past installments, how would you rate them? Good? Great? Marginal?
I am interested to see how it's all gonna play out, though I know very little about the setting compared to the European setting in the previous games. It'll be interesting to go in fresh that way I guess.
The setting is 1775 North America. The revolutionary war is beginning.
You are (presumably) a Native, or mostly of that blood. Probably speak english, maybe french depending on which tribe and who that tribe married into. (Or you're just a bastard mongrel depending on your particular perspective.) Point being I'm sure there will be some reason you understand spoken dialog as opposed to just speaking the native tongue of your tribe. I do wonder how much it actually will go into tribes and stuff, though. Not sure how much it'll go into your background, at least as these games go.
Anyhoo, your assassin role will probably affect the events ahead and the founding of America. Pretty much the sound skinny to the best I can determine.
That much seemed obvious.
I meant more of the actual specifics of American history that I won't really get compared to the European/Middle-Eastern history in the previous AC games which I'm more familiar with.
Let me see if I can do better......
Basically the colonists in the North American Continent were not going to recognize the stamp act of 1765, taxing them without representation and therefore a violation of their rights, as imposed by the Parliament of Great Britain. This sparked a war: the American Revolutionary War.
So the place for the setting is Eastern America, the Frontier. The battle of Trenton, The battle of Brooklyn, Valley Forge Pennsylvania. Similar incidents.
What is happening? The war that ended up with the founding of U.S.A. This is the time of these figures in American History:
1) George Washington, Commander-in-chief of the Continental Army. He would go on to become the first president of the united states.
2) Benjamin Franklin, a founding father of the United States and a man of many talents and professions in arts, sciences, politics, civics, and others.
3) Paul Revere, a silversmith, a man of industry, and most famously known for alerting the colonial militia of the approaching British army before the battles of Lexington and Concord. "The British are coming! The British are coming!"
4) Charles Lee, previously a british soldier who shall become the General of the Continental Army.
5) Lafayette, a french aristocrat who became a war general in the American Revolutionary War. Serving a major-general under George Washington.
6) Samuel Adams, Political Philosopher, statesman. He was on the front lines of the legal side of things, writing the "Adams Instructions" in response to the sugar Act of 1764. The term "taxation without representation" for what was to become United States of America was coined here as he made the first legal, political, and for all intents and purposes official unified defense of the colonists' rights. The first political body making the first on record statement that Parliament could not rightly tax them. His contention was that the Parliament did not have sovereignty over the Colonists. A year later the Stamp Act was passed by the Parliament. This caused an uproar in the colonies. From there it all erupted and...well, not to be too cliche but, "the rest is history" as the saying goes.
So far as the player's role? The main character seems to be loosely based off of Joseph Brant of the Mohawk nation of Native Americans.
Show spoiler
Personally I guess my motivation for interest in this game is as a matter of national pride, and of cultural and indirect ancestral interest. No matter how skewed, accurate, contrary, or agreeable the game's portrayal might be.
I hope one day in the not-too-distant future I can go to my own tribal lands and familiarize myself more with my heritage. But enough about this.
Hope this helps.
tl;dr ...and cause I don't care XD
Let me rephrase... not really interested in American history as I was in the European and Middle-Eastern history in the first AC games. Not really all that thrilled about the setting for AC3 but I don't really mind it all that much even though I don't ifnd it as interesting. When I play it a lot of the things in it will go over the top of my head and I won't recognise much of the more obscure references thrown around, but it doesn't really matter cause it's Assassin's Creed.
The British uniforms are wrong.
And that general's speech is so ****ing stupid it's unreal. :carms:
I will still probably play it, but if that trailer is indicative of the actual game (granted, it probably isn't), I'm expecting a historical cock-up to rival The Patriot.
The trailer is in-game footage, at least.
I do the same thing sometimes when it's a brand I like, though possibly not without getting a bad taste in my mouth in the long run. (Edit: To clarify, speaking to the issue of simply playing and ignoring everything else. Sorry if I didn't make this clearer.)
This game is a case of the exact opposite for me, more of an adventuresome leap. I'm only vaguely familiar with Assassin's Creed so I'm probably not going to be interested much in AC after this unless it hits something else I'd want to check out in future releases.
Well no one cares about Australian history... can't expect everyone to care about American history.... I certainly don't care about either.
^^^Fair enough. You can wiki to get a general idea nowadays for ...pretty much anything.
Now back to what I was saying before all that. Best I can make of the game genre is it's a glamorous fantastical take on assassinations. There's an order of assassins you join. You pretty much just kill your targets or whatever.
How are the mechanics (far as AC goes in general) in terms of controller handling? Much of a learning curve? Intuitive from the get-go? Has it been consistent from title to title?
How is its difficulty in gameplay? Would an out of shape 360-er have an inordinate level of difficulty?

ABERDEEN – Bobby DeLaughter resigned his circuit judgeship Thursday, just hours before prosecutors recommended an 18-month prison sentence for lying to the FBI about improper conversations with his former boss, Ed Peters of Jackson.
Whether DeLaughter knew it or not during the chats, Peters was working for then-Oxford attorney Richard "Dickie" Scruggs to ensure that DeLaughter ruled in his favor on a legal-fees lawsuit before the Circuit Court of Hinds County.
After the hearing in a packed federal courtroom, U.S. Attorney Jim Greenlee pronounced his work done on the case.
"This is over," he said, noting that DeLaughter's plea capped his office's work on two bribery conspiracies with seven different defendants. All except DeLaughter are serving prison terms.
The cases have drawn international attention because of Scruggs' former stature in leading mega-lawsuits against Big Tobacco, Big Asbestos and the insurance industry.
The government recommended 18 months in prison for DeLaughter; the charge carried a maximum of 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine. He will be sentenced in six to eight weeks, pending a pre-sentence report and no objections to its findings.
Are cases really over?
Whether it's really over was left hanging with a threat from DeLaughter's attorney, Thomas Durkin of Chicago, who objected to most of the plea agreement's language about allegations to which DeLaughter was not pleading guilty.
"He admitted to Count 5 only," Durkin said at and after the hearing. Count 5 was for obstructing justice by lying to FBI investigators looking into the corruption of the legal-fees lawsuit, Wilson v. Scruggs, which DeLaughter presided over.
The case is still alive in Hinds County and in federal court.
During the hearing, Durkin responded to Assistant U.S. Attorney Robert Norman's version of the case facts, which were part of the agreement Durkin said he first saw as the hearing began about 2 p.m. before Senior Judge Glen H. Davidson.
"We do not admit to any of these allegations," Durkin told Davidson about Counts 1-4. "We intended to go to trial on those counts – we will go to trial on those counts."
Norman responded to Davidson, saying, "If Mr. DeLaughter wants a trial, our witnesses are here and that's what we can do."
Davidson told Durkin to file a formal objection to the agreement, but that DeLaughter admitted to the required elements of Count 5, regardless.
If DeLaughter and his attorneys do not agree with his sentence from Davidson, they can withdraw the guilty plea and go to trial. If they agree, the other charges are dismissed.
But after it was all over, Greenlee said his office has no further need for the witnesses – Scruggs, former Booneville attorney Joey Langston and former state Auditor Steven Patterson of New Albany, held in Oxford, and former New Albany attorney Timothy Balducci, held in Monroe County.
All were brought from federal prisons to prepare for an Aug. 17 trial.
DeLaughter, 55, of Raymond faced 85 years in prison, if convicted on all the charges.
Norman also told the court he knows of no other jurisdiction "interested" in DeLaughter.
DeLaughter surprised the audience as the hearing began by saying he had been the 7th District's circuit judge "up until this morning, when I tendered my resignation to the governor."
Like the other attorneys convicted in these bribery investigations, DeLaughter is expected to lose his law license.
DeLaughter is best known for winning a conviction of Byron Dela Beckwith for the murder of civil rights leader Medgar Evers. Beckwith's son was among the courtwatchers Thursday.
In a separate deal Feb. 10, Scruggs pleaded guilty to conspiring to bribe DeLaughter by exploiting the judge's desire for a federal bench seat.
Scruggs reportedly asked his own brother-in-law, then-Sen. Trent Lott, to recommend DeLaughter for an open sat on the Southern District court. Lott maintains he never did more than make a courtesy call to DeLaughter about his possible candidacy.
Scruggs had time added to the sentence he is serving for his 2008 guilty plea in the scheme to bribe Circuit Judge Henry Lackey of Calhoun City. He and others have been helping the government develop its case.
Former Hinds District Attorney Ed Peters avoided prosecution, apparently with a deal to cooperate with the investigation.

Journey Through a Scroll Painting
From standing guard over endangered sea-turtle eggs, to mapping oceanic pollution and starting one of the West's most successful wilderness protection organizations, our Environmental Internship Program provides Patagonia employees with opportunities to participate in the fight to protect the Earth's resources. It's been a while since we've shared an employee's story from the front lines, but Dave Campbell, author of today's post, proves that it was worth the wait. Dave, a pro sales rep for Patagonia, spent 2 months this summer in the Far East collaborating with The Nature Conservancy China on an environmental project. Here's Dave:
It was February 2005; my Tibetan climbing partner Luo Rijia and I had just pulled ourselves onto the summit of Aotaimei Mountain in China's Sichuan Province, becoming the third team ever to reach its 17,523-foot summit. Half of our climbing rack consisted of Luo Rijia's hand forged pitons and most of the satellite peaks around us had virgin summits. We were standing above one of the last regions of the world to shelter reclusive animals like the giant panda and golden monkey. For a moment I felt like I was in a land forgotten by the outside world and time, though with 1.3 billion people and the inertia of the world's fastest growing economy just over the horizon, it was hard to not wonder what would soon become of Aotaimei and the last wild regions of the Middle Kingdom.
In spring of 2011, I spoke with our environmental department about my personal interest in working with The Nature Conservancy in China; as a result they offered to cover my regular wages for two months while I volunteered overseas as part of Patagonia's Environmental Internship Program. Within a month I was on a plane crossing the Pacific.
I flew into Beijing on July 3rd 2011. Although I spent several years in mainland China (as well as a year in the capital city), I hadn't been back to Beijing since 2001. The biggest change I recognized was the city, which inevitably has become bolder. The iconic structures of Beijing's dynastic eras – such as the Forbidden City – now have a staggering backdrop of some of the most modern skyscrapers in the world. The capital city is the headquarters for the Communist Party of China and is now also home to 41 Fortune Global 500 Companies. The culture of China is largely agrarian, and these roots hold strong even in China's largest urban centers. Beijing now also has a large and growing business class, bringing international education and viewpoints to the metropolis. These 20 million or so residents and migrant workers use a balance of finesse and brute force to negotiate each day in the rapidly growing city.
I found a low-key place to stay down one of the traditional alleyways known as the Hutongs, just 10 minutes walking distance from Tiananmen Square and a few subway stops from TNC's office. On the first day of the job I was given a desk and met with TNC China's director Zhang Shuang. We began with the usual pleasantries then dove straight into an intense conversation about China's wilderness and mountain sports. The focal point was Sichuan Province and Zhang Shuang informed me of a land trust reserve that TNC is currently building there, in collaboration with 23 of China's richest and most successful entrepreneurs, including Jack Ma. The land they are acquiring is in northern Sichuan's Pingwu County, which is home to one fifth of the world's giant panda population. During their last visit TNC's director of north Asia, Charles Bedford, actually saw a giant panda and her cub in the wild from only 20 feet away. Below is a photo taken in the reserve last May by a TNC installed infrared motion-censing camera.
For many years now, the private sector around the globe has purchased land with the purpose of environmental preservation. Patagonia and the Chouinards, for example, are huge supporters of a similar project called Conservacion Patagonica; however, the land trust reserve in Sichuan is the first of its kind in China and will hopefully serve as a model for future conservation efforts in the rapidly developing country.
Any time you obtain a large area of land in China and make it off limits to agriculture and logging, it is critical to also introduce positive new occupations to the local people. A massive change to the region will have a large impact on their livelihoods – solid planning and communication will consequently determine the level of support gained for the project. Zhang Shuang mentioned that he wanted input on ecotourism in the area. While discussing river guiding, we made a surprising connection – our mutual friend Travis Winn. Travis and I went through University of Oregon's China Program together and then went on to share an apartment in Sichuan's capital city Chengdu between 2005-06. Last year Zhang Shuang and Travis rafted the Great Bend of the Yangtze River, floating through a series of dam sites that in the next two years will inundate the Grand Canyon-like section. In light of this correlation, Zhang Shuang decided that it would be beneficial if Travis and I could visit the reserve together and jointly give advice on ecotourism and infrastructure development opportunities.
For the last decade, China-based American, Travis Winn has done everything in his power to save China's last wild rivers. His rafting company Last Descents has guided over 200 Chinese citizens, including members of the National People's Congress, influential entrepreneurs and news reporters, down environmentally threatened rivers in China. Their expeditions are often the last descent of a river before it is dammed, hence the company's name. Travis is also the director of the NGO China Rivers Project. At 27 years of age, he has done over 2,500 KM of first descents in China and has kayaked sections of every major drainage that runs off the Tibetan Plateau, including parts of the Yarlung Tsangpo.
* * *
It's easy to pick Travis out of a crowd because he sports a thick beard and is typically surrounded by stacks of boats. Although it had been years since I'd seen him, I instantly spotted him across the Chengdu airport parking lot, orchestrating the sheer chaos of loading all of the expedition gear into our vehicles. His partner Wei Yi and TNC's Sichuan project manager Zhao Peng were there helping with the giant game of Tetris; I couldn't help but feel the wild inertia as I approached.
The Dharma Bum in me caught a surge of energy when we passed through the hometown of Tang Dynasty poet Li Bai (701 – 762 AD) enroute to Pingwu. The mountains became more rugged, the mist thicker. Bamboo softly rustled above the Qingyi River and it became easy to imagine Li Bai sitting by its banks, glass of wine in hand, writing the verses to Drinking Alone by Moonlight.
Zhao Peng navigated us deep into the heart of Pingwu until we were forced to park the cars where a rockslide had covered the road. We then walked the rest of the way up the valley to Wuxing Village and began drinking beer and homemade spirits with the villagers. It sounds like a ridiculous way to begin a journey in the name of conservation, but success in China hinges on the ability to make and maintain relationships. To build support, Zhao Peng has become friends with - and has expressed the purpose of the land trust reserve to - virtually everyone in its vicinity; thus he is greeted with big smiles. Travis and I were the first non-Asians to visit Wuxing Village and were humbled by the local people's interest and hospitality. At one point a farmer put his hand on my shoulder and said "I've seen foreigners on TV, but never in real person. This is indeed a treat."
The headwaters of the Qingyi flow through Wuxing Village with a soft pulse, bringing life to the landscape and its people. A few kilometers downstream it meets a tributary at Suojiang Village and becomes more substantial, running through the occasional canyon. It is often out of sight of the road. At Suojiang we used ropes to lower our boats to the river's edge and then down-climbed to a good put-in spot. The villagers of Wuxing took any means of transportation available to them – from motorcycles to tractors – down the valley to watch, creating an amphitheater of spectators above us. Downstream we found equally serene settings, with numerous sections of Class-III water.
The following day Zhao Peng and Wei Yi joined us for the Qingyi's middle reaches – which had sections up to Class II. After the boating, we spent the remainder of our time in Pingwu exploring the future land trust reserve by bike and foot. Once it was time to part ways, Travis and Wei Yi headed back to Yushu in Qinghai Province, where they are living hand-to-mouth out of a disaster tent. Zhao Peng held fast in Pingwu while I flew back to share my experiences and begin the next project with TNC's Beijing staff.
* * *
A majority of TNC's China project sites are in the last wild parts of the country, and as you'd expect, they are located a good distance from major cities. Yet it is often corporations from the major cities who provide funding for the projects. These corporations would like to give their employees the opportunity to be involved in hands-on restoration work – and TNC would love to educate more Chinese citizens on critical environmental issues – though it's clearly not feasible for large groups to fly to remote areas such as the Pingwu site in Sichuan province. TNC asked me to help build a Beijing-based corporate volunteer program and when I got back to the city I teamed up with their philanthropy manager, Lulu Zhou.
Lulu studied conservation social sciences at the University of Idaho and plays a key role in managing relationships with TNC's Chinese donors. From fall '05 through spring '07 I worked fulltime for Outward Bound Hong Kong and one of my responsibilities was building corporate training courses on the Mainland. Lulu and I drew from our experiences and built a dynamic framework for the volunteer program, which incorporated facilitation styles applicable to the Chinese business class, interactive safety briefings, relevant environmental education, as well as all necessary documents, such as a concise risk assessment management system.
Our largest task was finding an appropriate location to bring groups of volunteers. It's easy to find sections of land in China that have been damaged, though it's not so easy to find places that you can help fix and then protect from future damage. We made many phone calls and visited many potential project sites, though weren't in a position to lease land or build a land trust. Therefore, a great deal of our quest revolved around securing cooperation with someone already managing land. At one point Lulu and I found ourselves riding up 5 stories of escalators inside a steel cylindrical dragon to get to a "protected" canyon above a giant damn. We walked away from that specific scenario scratching our heads pondering our potential effectiveness at conservation work in Beijing, and we shared many other discouraging moments during the scouting phase.
If you contemplate China and its environment in peril, two variables inevitably arise: huge population and water consumption. In 1948 there were around 2.2 million people in the Beijing metropolitan area. That number has grown eightfold, to a population of 18 million today, not including migrant workers. Water resources in Beijing, per capita, are somewhere around 1/30 of the world average. There are two major reservoirs in Beijing, Miyun and Guanting. Miyun is the city's primary source of drinking water, though it is only operating at one tenth of its original capacity. The other major reservoir in Beijing, called the Guanting, is polluted, primarily from the agricultural runoff of illegal farming. It's been labeled unsafe for drinking since the mid-nineties.
Most people who are versed in the recent history of China recognize that it would be unwise to kick tens of thousands of farmers off of a section of land, especially so close to a major city and commerce zone. Three modest partners, Zhao Shan, Xiang Dong and an American Robert Devine, took a close look at the situation and recently began working with the Chinese government on a project to transition the area away from the use of fertilizer for agriculture, into organic willow tree farming for biochar/biomass production. They have acquired a .44 square KM lot on the northeast shore for the pilot phase of the program and currently have 4 species of hybrid willows growing. In August they were asked by the reservoir's management to take on an urgent 5km long "collapsed bank" project, which will be underway soon. The trees they are planting do not require irrigation and the process helps replenish the soil. The potential application could be up to 166 square km and Zhao Shan believes that if they can eliminate all fertilizer usage from this zone and replenish the soil through willow planting and the biochar process, then the reservoir's water will be drinkable in as soon as five years time. They are signing contracts with the farmers who currently occupy the area, which offer them legitimate employment and better compensation than what they make growing food.
Zhao Shan, Xiang Dong and Robert were thrilled about the idea of hosting large groups of corporate volunteers because they want more people to be aware of the Guanting project and want to build additional partnerships with influential people willing to take ownership of critical water issues. There certainly isn't a shortage of manual work to be done on their expanding project site either. If by chance you end up traveling through Beijing, my recommendation is to drive straight past the Great Wall and visit the Guanting. The Great Wall is immaculate and tells a story of China's imperial past. But the Guanting is a poignant indication of our global future. The willow project may also serve as a lesson that even our most devastated environments still have hope.
My two months were coming to an end, so I took time to build what is possibly the first pro sales program in China with Roger Zeng, the president of the China Outdoor Retailer Association (CORA). We also took his staff on a few climbing trips. Next I headed to the coast to visit a few of Patagonia's factories, where I made friends with more amazing people and did some quality auditing. In early September I flew home.
Back home in the states, I'll occasionally unroll a favorite Chinese scroll painting and let my mind travel through it. The intricately painted mountains and softly brushed fog bring peace to my mind, as it brings back scenes of Sichuan and the majestic Qionglai mountain range. My eyes always pause, however, at the thatched cottage and farmer in the lower foreground of the painting. It could represent a simple farmer, on the banks of the Guanting, doing whatever he can to see his crops through another season in our rapidly changing climate. Though maybe it's a different kind of Chinese citizen, like Zhao Peng or Lulu Zhou, caught in another form of struggle, to save and restore an environment so severely threatened and damaged. Or there's a chance that it's just Tibetan climber Lu Rijia, singing a Tibetan song to the wind, after rappelling the icy flanks of Aotaimei.

A few years ago, I suggested the Phins trade AJ Feeley even up for Michael Vick, so the Falcons would have AJ Feeley and Jay Feely on their team; and oh, by the way, we would get Ron Mexico in the process.
Flash forward to this year. Michael's brother Marcus is on the team. Jay Feely is on the team. But where's AJ Feeley? He's back in Philly.
So, we got some portion of what I hoped for, but not quite.

Bright Horizons
Building a Better Workforce Through Sustainable Productivity
It's a well-accepted fact that top workforces drive top employers. And landing – and keeping – those workforces are among an employer's biggest challenges.
It's a subject with which Bright Horizons is eminently familiar. For more than 25 years, the Massachusetts-based organization has helped leading employers move ahead with workforces that are productive, resilient and engaged. Recognized as the leader in the work/life industry, Bright Horizons partners with more than 800 clients, strengthening workforces by solving employees' personal challenges that would otherwise hinder their performance at work.
Benefitting from top-notch workforces is a purposeful effort, says Bright Horizons Chief Human Resources Officer Dan Henry. Employer-sponsored child care and early education, for example, facilitate performance by alleviating the pressures of child care challenges. Similarly, the Bright Horizons Back-Up Care Advantage program prevents last-minute crises by providing emergency care when regular arrangements for children or adults/elders fall through. Such strategies not only enable performance, says Henry, they sustain it by minimizing disruptions that would otherwise continually hamper forward progress.
Back-up care, says Henry, is of particular consequence now that the so-called sandwich generation is a growing cohort, with millions of employees simultaneously caring for children and aging parents, often at the expense of job performance. Still, dependent care is just one part of Bright Horizons' overall philosophy that says any unresolved challenges in an employee's personal life can have ripples that affect whole organizations. "Outside stresses affect well-being, which is inextricably linked to job performance," says Henry. Knowing that challenges extend beyond caring for children and adults, Bright Horizons offers solutions to address all life stages, including EdAssist tuition assistance management to help employees achieve educational goals; College Coach to guide dependents in their pursuit of admission to college; and Horizons Workforce Consulting to address and respond to an organization's range of work/life needs. The objective is a kind of symbiosis where employers reach strategic goals by creating workforces that are energized, driven, and willing and able to deliver.
The payoffs, says Henry, are unmistakable. "What we see over and over is that employees in these cultures are extremely effective," he says. "These people work better not just because they have to, but because they're inspired to."

Yahoo is running a slightly streamlined version of an interview I did with Steven Spielberg as part of their "Celebrity Bytes" series. The following exchange didn't make the cut, which is understandable given the target audience and that the interview was supposed to be specifically about his involvement with Boom Blox. But I found it an interesting bit of insight into how one of the most prominent determinants of American culture views videogames.
TC: Is there anything over the least year that you've played that really grabbed you?
SS: There have been a lot of games, including all the sequels, for Medal of Honor that I've really admired. I love the direction it's taken. I also like the competitive games. I'm currently playing Call of Duty 4. A lot of these first person shooters are very interesting.
TC: A lot of surprising and indeed very violent things happen in Call of Duty 4. I don't want to spoil it, but have you gotten to any sort of amazing "Holy cow!" moments yet?
SS: Not yet, because I just began. Should I expect something like that?
TC: They do a couple of things that videogames don't normally do. I'd be curious what you think but I don't want to ruin it for you. Suffice to say you're in for some nice twists.
SS: That's good. You know the thing that doesn't work for me in these games are the little movies where they attempt to tell a story in between the playable levels. That's where there hasn't been a synergy between storytelling and gaming. They go to a lot of trouble to do these [motion-capture] movies that explain the characters. And then the second the game is returned to you and it's under your control, you forget everything the interstitials are trying to impact you with, and you just go back to shooting things. And that has not found its way into a universal narrative. And I think more has to be done in that arena.
TC: Some games avoid those cutscenes altogether. Are you familiar with Half-Life?
SS: Yeah, I've played Half-Life, of course. But some games will not let you quit out. I think Battlefield: Bad Company, which I played though, doesnt let you escape the interstitials.
TC: It's a dilemma for gamemakers. They don't have the freedom moviemakers have with a single medium, since they have to transition between storytelling and gameplay.
SS: I do applaud them for trying the storytelling. It's important to try to invest in these characters you don't get to see when you're playing them. You only get to see them during the little movies. But you don't get to see the faces or recognize the foxhole buddies when you're just targeting the enemy. Yet I applaud them for at least attempting to tell a story.
TC: Do you feel that filmmakers can learn anything from videogames? And if so, what?
SS: I think filmmakers are learning things from videogames. Movies are starting to look more and more like videogames, like the digital introductory teasers videogames give you before they turn control over to the player. A lot of movies, like this movie with Angelina Jolie and James McAvoy called Wanted. It had a lot of videogame savvy. The Bourne Ultimatum had a lot of videogame savvy in the quick cuts and the audacity of camera angle.

As expected, Bears RB Matt Forté will return to action on Monday night. Forté has not played since injuring his knee against the Packers in Week Two.
Bears WR Earl Bennett is inactive for Monday night's game against the Cowboys. WR Dane Sanzenbacher will be active for the first time this season. Bennett has six catches for 82 yards in Chicago's first three games. As a rookie last season, Sanzenbacher had 27 catches for 276 yards and three TDs.
Also inactive for the Bears are TE Evan Rodriguez, OG Edwin Williams, OT Chris Williams, DT Matt Toeaina, DE Cheta Ozougwu and DT Nate Collins.
NT Jay Ratliff (ankle) and OLB Anthony Spencer (shoulder) headline the Cowboys' inactive players, along with C Phil Costa, DE Kenyon Coleman, P Chris Jones, LB Alex Albright and S Matt Johnson. Spencer has 21 tackles and two sacks and started the Cowboys' first three games. Ratliff has yet to play this season after injuring his ankle in the preseason.

Comments about 'Utah Jazz in a jam when it comes to drafting Jimmer Fredette'
- Oldest first

It's too bad that Jimmer had to play for a team that you either love or hate. Jazz are danged if they do or danged if they don't. BYU people will hate the Jazz forever if Jimmer isn't drafted. Yes he would open up a new world of outdoor shooting for the Jazz. But what is more important to the Jazz a big guy or another shooter. Who wins all the championships? Guard happy teams or teams with bigs. You don't win in the NBA without bigs and the Jazz don't have a big. Several power forwards but no bigs. Either trade for a big and get rid of AK and a couple others or draft the bigs. Get Jimmer if he is available at 12 and get a couple of bigs whatever way you can. Win win.

@ President Joker,
And who do you think will be a Hall of Fame player in this year's draft? I don't see one, outside of maybe Jimmer (college POY gives him that edge).
You're comparing apples to oranges.

Listening to two national media stations early this morning are saying that Jimmer will simply be a shooter and once everyone figures him out, he'll simply be role player and is not worth a top 15 pick. In a seven game series, he will ride the bench because a quicker 6-7 guard will stay in his grill and there is nothing he can do unless he shoots from 35 feet out.

@ ldsfan,
So, you've never noticed Jimmer getting by "quicker" players, both in college and that summer when he played against NBA players? He can score against anyone.
His cross-over is WAY better than D-Will's, which was effective for Deron---in the NBA, even.
Your Ute glasses are showing.
You'll be Jimmered, for sure.

College coaches know about and have scouted kids when they are 14. I hope the Jazz know and have scouted Kanter. If they haven't that is inexcusable. If Kanter ends up being great and they take Knight because they know his game, that would be horrible.

How many years has O'Connor picked players for the Jazz? --- Too many.
How many quality players has he been responsible for drafting that have made a significant difference? --- One, maybe.
The proof is in the pudding, so they say; and the lack of proof it is quantifiable in the stats.
O'Connor's best pick was DWil and after five years he's gone because he supposedly offended Saint Jerry who NEVER really came close to a championship; i.e., two final series in more than 20 years as head coach.
Either O'Connor brought in the wrong players, or Jerry couldn't make of them a championship team.
It has to be one or the other or both. I say both.
But what is the Jazz front office doing now?
They're conducting business as usual, including the same failing process to pick draft choices, and coaching the same losing way that Jerry did.

All I have to say is, Go Jazz. Whoever they choose in this draft will because they fill those individuals will best help this franchise win basketball games and is a good fit for their organization. I think that type of thinking has a better chance of putting a winning team on the floor then just choosing an individual who is very popular that may or may not have a successful career in the NBA. If Jimmer is the best fit then by all means "pick" him. But if not pick those individuals that will help this team win a "Championship".

Denver Botanic Gardens is participating in the state-wide Pulling for Colorado effort with an event this Saturday, June 12, at their Chatfield branch. As any gardener knows, weeds can pose ongoing problems. Across the state, noxious weeds threaten public and private lands and enterprises.
"We are inviting people to come to our Chatfield location and help us get rid of noxious weeds," said Erin Bird, an information officer for Denver Botanic Gardens.
The event will be held from 9 a.m. until 2 p.m. at Denver Botanic Gardens' Chatfield gardens which is actually a working farm in Jefferson County. "People are welcome to help out any time length [of time] they desire," Bird said. "Every pulled weed makes a difference, be it five or 500."
According to Bird, volunteers will receive free drinks and snacks, not to mention the self-satisfaction of helping to eradicate harmful, noxious weeds from the state.
With educational events held throughout Colorado beginning in June and running through mid-July, Pulling for Colorado includes a variety of efforts to get Coloradans engaged in the fight against noxious weeds. Natural open spaces, recreational spaces and agricultural lands all suffer from invasive noxious weeds whether broadleaf, grass-like or woody plants. According to the Colorado Noxious Weed Act, noxious weeds are alien plants that invade aggressively or pose risks to economic crops or native plant communities. Some noxious weeds are poisonous to livestock. Other noxious weeds carry detrimental insects, diseases, or parasites. And all noxious weeds prove detrimental to Colorado's ecosystems.
The Colorado Weed Management Association attempts to stem the tide of noxious weeds by preventing introduction of new invasive plant species to the state, eradicating noxious weeds when possible, and managing noxious weed populations already widespread and well established.
For more details on Pulling for Colorado events organized according to quadrants of the state, click on this link.

Moms who want their daughters to play with a doll that won't cause low self-esteem or eating disorders don't need to look any further.
Artist Nickolay Lamm, creator of the much buzzed-about "Normal Barbie," is launching his own doll line that will use real women's measurements as part of an effort to promote a healthy body image.
In an exclusive interview March 5, Nickolay revealed how he came up with the concept for his new Lammily Doll line and his goals for the project.
In 2013, Lamm made international headlines after unveiling a 3-D model of a "normal-weight" Barbie. Lamm used the body type of an average American 19-year-old girl using measurements compiled by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. He then created a 3-D model that looked healthier and more realistic than the current super-tall, skeletal model.
Nickolay, a Pittsburgh-based artist, was unprepared for the avalanche of press he received. Media outlets and parents around the world applauded Lamm for creating an attractive doll that did not look anorexic or unrealistic.
I wanted to promote a healthy body image when I created the 'Normal Barbie.' But I had no idea it would garner as much press attention as it did. The popularity of this project showed that people like that kind of body in a doll."
Health experts say if the iconic Barbie doll were a real person, she would be 6-feet-tall, weigh an anemic 100 pounds, and have a 16-inch waist with a 39FF bra size — proportions that simply don't exist in real life.
Lamm wanted to show that dolls using real women's body measurements are beautiful and could have mass appeal. "I simply wanted to prove that fashion dolls could look good if they had average proportions. Average is beautiful," said Nickolay, who has been bombarded with requests for his "Normal Barbie."
"After 'Normal Barbie,' a lot of kids and parents were asking me, 'Where can we get a doll like this? That's why I designed the Lammily Doll."
Nickolay launched the Lammily crowdfunding project to finance his line of normal-weight dolls. To learn more or to contribute to this project, check out Lammily.com.

After 50,000 kilometres and 340 days what you will find in this book are the highlights of that most memorable venture.
