The Guantanamo Guidebook
British Channel 4 engaged the Team Delta Cadre to recreate the Guantanamo Bay interrogation experience.
At the production company's request, along with Team Delta's normal approach to interrogation, the cadre also reenacted several specific events reported to have occurred at Guantanamo.
In most cases these reenacted events were counter productive to the interrogation plan developed by Team Delta - a plan that had learned 80% of the requested intelligence within the first few hours of capture.
Prisoner 73 on his experience: Total deprivation of sleep, food and water, exposure to extreme heat and cold, up to 20 minutes in stress positions, up to 2 hours listening to white noise... plus any other interrogation technique deemed acceptable by the interrogation team' By any standards the waiver I signed for "Guantanamo Guidebook" was special, and two weeks later when I was lying naked, shaved, shackled in a ball on the floor, alone with a hood over my head, listening to white noise with a cold fan at my back, I realized just how superficial the term 'informed consent' can be.
Two weeks earlier I had received an e-mail looking for students who would be willing to participate in a Channel Four documentary investigating US interrogation practices for Terror detainees held in Cuba.
I was to be one of seven male volunteers from various backgrounds – three Muslims: a father of two, a youth worker, and a recent graduate; plus Britain's fittest Fireman, a triathlete, Britain's Thai Kickboxing Champion and me, a plucky Oxford undergraduate finalist in philosophy and politics.
The test was to see how we fared in a simulation of up to 60 hours under a team of retired US army interrogators, led by a founding member of Delta Force, who used the techniques officially sanctioned for Guantanamo detainees to extract information about us and make us confess to the scenarios we had acted out with the production company the week before. We were to withhold information and endure.

This is one of my favorite docs of all time. It so clearly illustrates what classic restructuring of the mind via stress can and will do. Think boot camp when you watch, not just prisoners, or terrorists.
Oh, and thank you Vlatko!!
No, i can't watch this one. I would never make it through trying to watch someone get tortured, even if they are a volunteer. The things that happened in Guantanamo where awful, i actually cried when i saw the special on cable about it, because it showed this guy whos dad had been killed from neglect and mistreatment as well as torture right in front of him. I would lose my mind and go bezerker if that happened to me. It would be too much for me, they would have had to kill me next, and probably would have I guess. Yall enjoy, I have made myself sit through many docs on this site that were hard to watch but I will never make this one.
ez2b12, suit yourself, of course. I'm of the belief that knowledge is power. If you understand the process, aren't you more capable to spot when rights are being violated? Combine this with Quiet Rage, and a good understanding of Milgram, and Stockholm Syndrome, and I firmly believe your appreciation of just how fragile the mind is grows exponentially. Essential knowledge considering I own one, and not a strong one at that.
@ hhv
By all means, I agree. I am glad they make these docs, I just can't watch them myself. I know what torture is without having to see it acted out, it's common sense besides the definition was discussed over and over in the news cycle not long ago. I did watch the Guantanamo doc on HBO where they exposed all of what had happened, pictures and all. That was enough for me on this particular subject, as far as watching documentaries that is.
I personally think more criminal prosecutions were called for, specifically the big wigs that knew what was happening and were giving the orders. It seemed for some reason that Obama's admin didn't want to persue this very agressively. Lots of liberal and conservative (mostly liberals) citizens did call for prosecutions and investigations into the past administrations knowledge and involvement, but it never went very far. The economy was tanking and people got distracted from the attrocities commited.
Even if you throw out the ethical and moral issues, a man being tortured will tell you what ever you want to hear, not necessarily the truth. This was probably the one part of the whole ugly mess (war on terror) that I was the most sickened and ashamed of. If someone would have told me when i was growing up that our governement would be doing this stuff, i would have laughed at them. I guess I was a really niave kid, but I really thought this was something American soldiers would never do. I knew that it happened at smaller scales within the intelligence commmunity, CIA and FBI you know. But I thought it was probably not that seriouse or wide spread even there. I was totally wrong, and it still hurts me badly.
I can not disconnect myself from the country I grew up in and am a citizen of presently, and I usually do not want to- But, this is just horrible and simple minded not to mention morally corrupt and pointless. Since when did we take fathers and sons and torture them- in front of each other? Of course some neo con always wants to throw that senario in where its like a bomb is going to explode and you have the guy that knows where it is- do you torture if necessary? Yes in my opinion, but lets face it, this is not the situation these horrible acts were committed within.
There was no immediate danger from most of these people, the vast majority of them are not even charged with crimes or officially connected with any certain group. They have no right to representation or due process even, it is a pox on our soul- and until it is really dealt with it will continue to fester and rot. Maybe one day we will address this stuff for real, I doubt it though. I think it will get swept under the rug and we will move on, much like we already have.
But maybe this doc and more like it will rehash the whole thing and people will demand something gets done about it, and i do not mean locking up privates and low ranking officers that where in the wrong- orders or not, but still should not be held souly responcible. I want to see some generals and x presidents going down. Maybe that lawyer guy that helped them figure out how to design and promote this stuff without getting into trouble, and most of all Cheney. I think D1cK Cheney should be water boarded and tortured just like these guys were, and in some foreign land where he has no bearings and is scared out of his mind. That I WOULD watch, over and over again.
Watched the full doc. this is something that will stay with me forever!
Made my blood run cold, if people want nightmares, then watch the doc.
But by saying that, everyone should watch the doc. or their heads will be buried in the sand forever.
I have said it before, will say again, the Empire of US is leading to "Orwell's 1984"
I dont wanna see this. So i dont watch!
This is sickening man, truly sickening . The whole f@#$%^&* bush administration should be imprisoned for war crimes. everyone knows that 95% of the people locked up were just dudes walking around or whatever, snatched up and then brought to this hell. 4 years without a official charge, trial or anything... those soldiers are f@#$%^&devils. Rumsfeld deserves to die horribly.
All they have to look forward to is dieing... what hell man, but what goes around comes around, the boomerang effect. its been said al queada was a maybe 500 to 1000 i@#$%^ tops, but after the Muslim world witnessed these atrocities, their ranks have swelled to 150000+.
Everyone knows bush was behind 9/11.... for oil and money... bush is the devil man, hes an Antichrist , how the f@#$ did that son of a b@#$% serve 8 years as prez??? too bad mccain palan didn't win eh??? America would've sunk right into the dam ocean with those m@#$%^ at the helm. god bless the innocent ones, they will have justice one day i hope.
I thought when one of the volunteers said stated something to the affect that truth is out the window, that information taken under these kinds of conditions could not be accurate.
After watching this video I can only say I am left in shock and awe and somehow not surprised.
I was really expecting them to put a rat filled cage on someone's head...
I'm with Eduard
"I dont wanna see this. So i dont watch!"
Catch you on the next chapter of TDF, all :)
@Achems Razor
it's been 1984 for a long time now,...
A very shocking documentary. How can a human inflicted this torture on another and put thier head on the pillow and sleep at night I can not comprehend. Surely there must be something that can be done about this. Thank's for posting this doc and letting the people know what is going on.
I didn't find the content of this film very chilling, perhaps because they omitted the more gruesome torture techniques like waterboarding. The most shocking doc I've seen here so far was the one about the "evacuation" of UN troops from Rwanda and the later inspections of slaughters that happened as a result.
Inhumane and Barbaric...what more can be said...small wonder the hatred being created by the west in the Middle East.
I remember reading in James VI's book on Demonology that the only way in which a truthful confession could be made was when it was made under extreme torture. He wasn't the first to think in that manner and sadly, as this video illustrates, he wasn't the last.
It's one of the hardest docs I ever saw... How they can live with it? Both of the sides.
so how many people had the steam taken out of them in regards to their love for the war on terror.....this IS terror
This is sick stuff.. i live in Ft hood TX, and I personally know many of the people who carry ish like this out.. not a pleasant existence, and they deserve the internal suffering it brings.. the big wigs could never commit such atrocities without their willingness to blindly do what they're told for a (measly if I must say) paycheck!
its funny... terrorism is defined as "the use of violence to achieve political goals"
but to think about it, by their own definition, any "war" or actually any "government policy" is the use of violence to achieve political aims.. so who are the real terrorists?
Donald Rumsfeld needs to be tried and sent to a mideast prison for life by an international court. A person so corrupt being allowed to remain in society corrupts society.
Any intelligence obtained by the remainimg prisoners will be out of date and have no value. Either sentance then or let them go. No delays.
Hand over Guantanamo to Cuba and leave.
Guantanamo is like American holocaust on Muslim people
Brutally chilling documentary and this was done with under the watchfull eyes of UK health and saftey i dread to think what the real detainees are going through usa should have to answer for war crimes
@princeton...we all have a choice to make, the soldiers could have said NO.
We going to see this all over the world thanks to New World Order scum.
i know & completely agree!
the only soldier i sympathize with is the child who is forced to join a rebel group
all others are guns-4-hire & mafia hitmen (with corny uniforms)
@jan..wake up, this is no new world order, it's just american imperialism.
have you ever seen to film of christopher hitchens being waterboarded..he lasted 10 seconds maybee before he panicked and they stopped the demonstration. they water boarded Khalid Sheik Mohammed 183 times in ONE MONTH..i think i would admit to anything to make that stop. osama bin laden is dead, 911 was an inside job and the war on terror is a smoke screen for the corporate states of america to gain new markets in newly democratised countries..money, money, money..american greed, capitalism at its finest.
I thought this was pretty mild. I figure the real thing, would be considerably more intense and violent. Compared to what the Nazis did in the camps in WW2, this is a Disney vacation. Over the long term, maybe it gets results, 48 hours verses 48 weeks is a huge difference. They seemed to work over the red headed guy, far more than the others. I wonder why? Also, it seemed to be geared to those from a overtly religious background, I wonder how well it would work on non religious persons. I sympathized with the guys here, because I knew ahead of time, they are not real terrorists. I would not have the same sympathy for the real thing. I will give this Doc a D-.
@ jase..terrorism is attacking a country unprovoked, flattening civilian homes with jdams and killing thousands as the us did in iraq and then branding people terrorist because the fight back..what a crock of sh#t.
All the former interrogators got off on this s@#$. Disgusting.
I'm sorry but does that dude have a boner at the first few seconds of the doc? lol
Interrogation fetish? lol
"@jan..wake up, this is no new world order, it's just american imperialism."
American Imperialism in conjunction with other nations and states all of whom are corrupt and controlled by the banks.
THAT is the new world order the name of which has incidentally been mentioned publicly by no less than 12 world leaders.
Hush, Jono, sweetheart! If you knew anything about us, you wouldn't be on the internet at all.
You know how easy it is for "The New World Order" to find out exactly where you are and who your family might be...?
Plus, it does not exist at all... bunch of superstitious nonsense... really....
Everything is exactly as it seems.
"Everything is exactly as it seems...." a color-blind man said
"In the land of no eyes, the one eyed man is KING!"
Listen, there is no conspiracy. I know. I have been there, man, it is just nothing, as I have said again and again on this site.
There is no way, that I am part of the Great, Magnificent Illuminati...
Let us Praise, Purescbutu, the Goddess of War and Empires...
.... or not... whatever... I don't care, 'cuz I don't even care about the New World Order!
....do you believe that....?
I'm just some guy! Just like you! Not affiliated with any Secret Societies or anything of that ilk!
I am not "Illuminated" in any way... neither do I crave human flesh... that would be WRONG!!!!
LOL! The twitter that you delicious children love these days.... with the iPhones and the iPads....
....nothing.... nothing....
@ Randy,
Which conspiracy are we talking about exactly here? That some gov'ts are working on something they call the New World Order? Hm, I thought that was a fact they openly talk about.
What exactly that NWO entails, they don't say, but I reckon it includes the stuff we saw in the doc... And on a long run, that's very dangerous... Once the established concepts of democracy and the rule of law start being bent to satisfy the current political desires, it will not be too long before they get you because your skin tone is dark, or that of one of your friends'..... and you yourself, not some unknown guy from Afghanistan, end up in a dark room somewhere on the planet... You would very much wish at that hypothetical moment that there's someone who will speak for your rights.
Don't care about the mason/illuminati/templar/etc. c**p myself, no need to bring that into a serious conversation, right? :-)
@ wtc7
I agree that at one time several governments seemed to be working toward the whole globilization thing and one world governement- new world order what ever you want to call it. I think it was a huge concern for the guys that made the whole NAFTA, North American union thing up- and I have heard it played a role in the European Union- I have no idea about this as I am from US and all I get about europe is from mass media, which is all bought and payed for and only reinforces the views of the corporations that own it.
But I would not confuse any of this with the torture policies of the US under Bush and Cheney. They where US ideas carried out by US soldiers and politicians, all of which should be made to stand for war crimes- starting with the top, getting the worse sentences, down to the soldiers that only knew but didn't get involved, getting some punishment as well. I am not a patriot, my generation never seemed to buy nationalism. Maybe it was because we had exposure through TV to the rest of the world or maybe it was because we just don't understand loyalty to ones governement when that government is so corrupted and immoral, I don't know. Point is I never get all proud of the US and say how we stand for this or that, but this time it got to me. I can not stand to know that I am part of a country that did these things, it really bothers me.
I agree with wayne, we should either prosecute the people we have evidence on and imediately release the rest or maybe just let them all go after this mess- but whatever we do we must hand Guantanamo back to Cuba and leave. As long as we are on foreign soil that keeps the base from falling under certain laws and over sight, I will be wondering what we are doing down there. I am ashamed of this, If I had the money i would leave the US and this would be the biggest reason for my leaving- well that and I would love to get a job, have health care, maybe even be free- like folks in Canada. They even legalized in some places, I am saving my money- yall, leave a light on for me.
@ Montgomery Granger,
Coincidentally, I know a bit about the ICRC. The basic principle of their work is confidentiality. They do not go public with their findings during prison visits, their confidential reports following each detention visit (anywhere in the world) are submitted to the concerned detaining authorities, which are supposed to correct any irregularities not in conformity with the international humanitarian law.
The option of going public exists for the ICRC as the last possible resort, but to my knowledge, they have never done it (at least not in the last 50 - 60 years).
So, the ICRC may or may not go nuts about this, but you will not know it... Therefore, they cannot to be used as an argument in support of your thesis.
Confidentiality is a good thing.
Do you want your doctor to blab to the world about your private stuff?
Do you want your government to vomit all of their secrets all over you?
I do not think that you would. There is great horror in governemtns, No one needs to see that stuff...
There is an old saying:
"The Law is like sausages... no one wants to see how they are made!"
However, I love the law and I love sausages!
@ Randy,
That was a nice try, but from you, I could take anything :-), 'cause you're a good guy actually!
But here's my answer: governments HAVE to tell us everything, they're not supposed to have secrets to hide from me/you/us. Governments are not separate entities from the people that put them where they are, they are, literally, the SERVANTS of the people.
As much as we are made used/conditioned to laugh at such statements, this is how things should work actually. We allowed such basic, simple facts about the idea of the organization of a society to become ridiculous even to think about. Brrrrrr, that terrible, mean government and these guys in suits with bodyguards, big cars and stuff, ITS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNMENT....
BS!!! We are thousands, millions... "They" are few... What we need is to understand our role in society, to understand the role of governments, we need to educate ourselves about it, not just blindly nod or powerlessly shrug when governments do things! At least in societies that pretend to be democratic. But I'm afraid that governments are increasingly becoming their majesties... sad. And we still have a chance to remind them where their place is!
lol this is all no surprise at all...
all governments are a cancer upon humanity
no government can ever not be corrupt
governments are the root of all evil
government = the initiation of force/violence
Democracy is dictatorship with the illusion of choice
government => terrorism
nationalism => racism
they kidnap & cage their own for "taxes(money)" and "disobedience(control)"
they kill & torture their "enemies" for "defense"
mankind is their declared 'enemy"
but mankind looks to these criminals (all politicians everywhere) for hope and solutions.
Instead of peacefully working with each other, they just wave guns around, and hope their problems go away!
One thing is for sure. Rumsfeld and Cheney are the epitome of evil, and the justice department lawyers that sanctioned this should be disciplined by the bar and thrown in jail--however--without being tortured--as we are not animals, right?
The most freighting aspect elucidated by this documentary is the distorted perspective of the nature of reality by the subjects in this documentary, that initially supported the Quantanimo methods but subsequently, solely because of their personal experience of the Quantanimo methods now totally reject them.
I think that the greatest danger in our world is a pervasive detachment from reality and the hidden dangers therein.
^quantanimo :D thats creative
Thats all wrong. Its washing with clean sand not dust???
oh God! what have we done... everyone should watch this doc...we all have a resposibility to treat people justly..innocent or guilty.
This is not right...this is not right. Abosolutely brutal!
Thanks 4 the doc vlatko..u really are educating a nation with th1s site! Long may it continue! And an even bigger thank you for making it free access...it shows that you really are someone who values the concept of seeking knowledge and you have made this very very possible! 1 million thank u's
yeah...I watched this, then I went back and watched the videos of prisoners being beheaded alive by Al Queda. Stunning juxtaposition. Hopefully Gitmo interrogations save lives.
Man's inhumanity to Man. Anyone who thinks this behavior is justified has some serious issues. I feel ashamed to be a part of this world. The Bush Administration and any other administration that condones this behavior on other human biengs, should be publically hung for crimes against humanity.
That was pretty stupid at the end... they only focused on the one guy with sensory deprivation, etc. and then they announce to the others who hadn't been through anything "special" that they had made it...
Unfortunately, under torture people will (sooner or later) confess to anything they think will get them relief.
*You* may feel better that they are being punished (before trial and sentencing), but that doesn't make the information being obtained any more reliable or life-saving.
Our government does have the responsibility to be better than our enemies.
Definitely an interesting doc, However I wished they focused more on the psychology of the inmates after the stimulation to see what effects this had on them.
Fair point but I saw one doc its on here probably under military, cant remember the name.... anyway one man who had been interrogated said that at one point he fell and hit his head on the floor and as he got up he started crying because the fall didn't kill him. I wouldn't want to be put through that especially as I have no reason to be... not all are guilty. But at the end of the day the man who hit his head is alive to tell the tail. Which do you think is the lesser of two evils?
great actors.
Every person involved with Guantanamo Bush,Rumsfeld,Cheney all the way down to the man that stood out side the gate should be held accountable for war crimes. No one should be able to say they were just following orders. What they did was no different then what the Nazis did. And the excuses used by the SS saying they were just following orders did not work for them. Then why should it work for these soldiers. 8 men died and 1 boy died age "16" all found on there floor dead and naturally ruled a suicide, case closed all files are sealed or no longer exist.
not a single person should have been sent there with out proper evidence of there wrong doing. the majority of the 662 that have been released or transferred were given new homes in new countries which was used to buy there silence of what went on there, which is a admittance of wrong doing by the Government of America.
The majority of the men sent there were sent there by crazy ex wives, some one that wanted there land, or to settle old grudges. a ton were simply accused to get a reward. warlords turned a bunch in to get money and or weapons for there followers.
out of 779 prisoners 61 of them were considered terrorists. those are horrible stats, and should be a embarrassment to our intel gathers.
779 prisoners have been held at Guantánamo since the prison opened on January 11, 2002. Of those, 662 have been released or transferred, one was transferred to the U.S. to be tried, and nine have died, the most recent being Adnan Latif, in September 2012. 107 men are still held, and 48 of these men have been recommended for release by high-level governmental review processes. -

Bills make serious bid to acquire Bledsoe [5:32 AM]
D and C reports: 'In short, the Bills could have the 30-year-old Bledsoe for three years at $16.5 million -- a bargain given his talent and the cost of top-notch quarterbacks these days -- before making a decision on what to do after 2004.'
Donahoe has chance to become area hero [5:31 AM]
D and C reports: 'Think about it. The Bills get Bledsoe, a three-time Pro Bowl quarterback, who at age 30 has plenty of life left in his football career. A legitimate talent capable of masking other deficiencies on the team, who puts the club's rebuilding project way ahead of schedule. The Bills give up a third-round pick (they have two in that round anyway), retain their coveted No. 4 pick overall in the first round, and their second-rounder (No. 36). This is purchasing a nice used Cadillac with Yugo money.'
Bills talk with defensive end [5:30 AM]
D and C reports: 'The Buffalo Bills have begun preliminary contract talks with free agent defensive end Chidi Ahanotu, who visited the team on Thursday. Ahanotu, a nine-year veteran, was not re-signed by St. Louis after completing a one-year, $600,000 deal last season.'
Bledsoe, draft on Bills' mind [5:30 AM]
Toronto Sun reports: 'The deal maker or breaker likely hinges upon whether Donahoe bends on his desire to protect the treasured No. 4 pick or the Pats lighten demand for that first-rounder.'
Demands remain the same [5:29 AM]
Boston Globe reports: 'There were several radio and TV reports that Bledsoe was on his way to Buffalo last night and had a reservation at a Buffalo hotel. But at 4:30 p.m. EST yesterday, Bledsoe told the Globe he was on a Montana golf course and had no idea about where the reports were coming from.'
Bledsoe deal heats up [5:28 AM]
Boston Herald reports: 'The Patriots have not granted Bledsoe or his representatives permission to talk to other teams, and any arrangement on the part of the Bills to bring Bledsoe in to Buffalo before an official trade would amount to tampering. Bills officials would like to talk to Bledsoe to gauge his interest, but they are not allowed to.'
Trust in Bill to Drew the right thing [5:27 AM]
Boston Herald reports: '[Bledsoe] doesn't trust Bill [Belichick], doesn't like him, doesn't want to play for him. He felt the coach was not straight with him when he returned from his injury last season, but kept his mouth shut and dutifully manned the clipboard. He could have been a huge distraction, but unlike Terry Glenn, he chose not to be.'
Forget the rumors, Bledsoe is still a Patriot -- for now [5:25 AM]
Providence Journal reports: 'But more and more it's becoming clear that the asking price for Bledsoe isn't "make an offer" but "first-round pick. Firm." So if Donahoe wants him, he knows what it will take. The Bills right now have the cap space necessary ($5 million) to bring in Bledsoe. Soon, they will not. Nor will many other teams. Which means if Bledsoe is going to get traded, a new dynamic enters the picture -- the need to restructure Bledsoe's deal before moving him. That would give the quarterback leverage that he doesn't have right now.'
Cold reception for Bledsoe in Buffalo? [5:24 AM]
Metro West Daily News reports: '"Buffalo's pretty much known as the worst weather city, with the cold and the wind," said Tom Tupa, the former Patriots QB/punter who has played in the AFC East since 1996. "As a quarterback, you have to have a pretty strong arm to play there, and Drew has that. He definitely has the skills a quarterback needs to have there."'
Bledsoe To Bills Looks Like Deal [5:23 AM]
Hartford Courant reports: 'Several weeks ago, the Bills offered the Patriots a third-round draft choice in the draft and a conditional pick in 2003 based on Bledsoe's 2002 performance. But the Patriots, who have been holding out for a No. 1 pick in exchange for Bledsoe, turned that down. The Bills are adamant about holding on to their No. 1 pick, but if they are willing to trade their second-round pick (36th overall) for Bledsoe, plus a conditional pick in 2003 that could be a No. 1, a deal might get done today.'
Pats Play Risky Game With Drew's Loyalty [5:22 AM]
Hartford Courant reports: 'The Patriots must deal Drew Bledsoe today or Saturday - draft day - or they will run the risk of ruining the chemistry that made the team a Super Bowl champion. That's the bottom line.'
Interview Transcript: - Charlie Rogers [10:44 PM]
BuffaloBills.com reports: One of the highlights of your career is the 81-yard punt return against (Ronnie Jones led Special Teams of) the Bills in 2000. Have you thought about that at all while you were here?
I thought about that when we (Seattle) came back last year. I was hurt. That was one of my first games coming off my injury and I thought I would come back and just do it again but the coverage teams played well. Obviously they made a big improvement and hopefully we can improve the return game and step the elite of the return teams in the NFL.
Bills open talks with free agent DE Ahanotu [10:07 PM]
AP reports: 'The Buffalo Bills have begun preliminary contract talks with free agent defensive end Chidi Ahanotu, who visited the team on Thursday. Ahanotu is a nine-year veteran, who was not re-signed by the St. Louis Rams after completing a one-year, $600,000 deal last season.'
Wilson praises Donahoe; mum on Bills interest in Bledsoe [10:05 PM]
AP reports: '"My father used to say, and this characterizes Tom Donahoe, (hard work) is 98 percent perspiration, and two percent inspiration," Wilson said on Thursday, after traveling from his Florida home to help take part in this weekend's NFL draft.'
Bledsoe to Bills by Friday [10:04 PM]
CBS Sportsline reports: It appears that a deal to send Drew Bledsoe to the Bills will get done by Friday, sources close to the negotiations said.
Even bigger than the additional draft pick for the Patriots (or improved draft position) would be the enormous clearing of salary cap space.
Bledsoe to Bills talks heating up [10:04 PM]
WGRZ-TV reports: 'Just how big would a Bledsoe acquisition be for the Bills? Just shy of the size of the splash made when Jim Kelly arrived back in 1986. Bledsoe, a former #1 pick like Kelly, would give the Bills instant credibility coming off their sorry 3-13 season.'
Bills Face Gutsy Pick [10:01 PM]
WIVB-TV reports: 'He will get the biggest rookie contract in Bills history..that's a given, so it puts huge pressure on the selection. Whether it's Mckinnie, Williams, Sims, Harrington, or someone else the Bills Brass deems worthy of that selection, they know whatever the name, he will need to be a household name in Buffalo for the next decade.'
Bills Upgrade With Accuracy At Kicker [9:58 PM]
BuffaloBills.com reports: The Bills officially announced the team has signed veteran place-kicker Mike Hollis. The immediate upgrade will translate to more points on the board for the Bills. Hollis comes to the Bills as the sixth most accurate kicker in NFL history.
Bills-Pats Trade Talks for Bledsoe Heating Up [3:00 PM]
ESPN.com reports: "The Bills "really believe they're going to get (Bledsoe) now" one league source told ESPN.com. [Donahoe's] rationale has been that the Bills have had the best offer on the table, believed to be a third-rounder, and that the Patriots have no other serious bidders. Faced with the prospect that Bledsoe will not report to training camp, New England may now be prepared to reduce its demands." (Aside: You have to think that this means the Bills will be grabbing an OT with the first overall pick if this goes down.)
BUMP: Bills will trade, go for Roy Williams or DT [2:33 PM]
Shout! reports: @ As Wednesday dawned, the draft was barely three days away. That's 72 hours, give or take, but do we really know any more about what the Bills might do with their first-round draft pick than we did 72 days ago?
Bills still splashing in free agent pool [9:04 AM]
Buffalo News reports: '"We have some young guys we like a lot, but we were almost in a situation last year where we had too many young guys.'
Bills in line to make big pick [5:38 AM]
D and C reports: 'One thing we do know: If the Bills don't trade down, or don't include their first-round draft position in a potential deal for New England quarterback Drew Bledsoe, they are going to land a whale of a football player with that fourth overall selection.'
Bills trade Foreman to Texans [5:38 AM]
D and C reports: 'Despite a respectable 95 tackles, Foreman was not a playmaker or an impact player, and Williams clearly wanted to upgrade at the position.'
Texans trade for LB Foreman [5:37 AM]
Houston Chronicle reports: 'Rogers, whom the Texans acquired in the expansion draft, was expendable because the team also picked up Jermaine Lewis in the expansion draft.'
Bills Sign Linebacker Robinson, Acquire Rogers From Texans [9:39 PM]
Bloomberg reports: 'Williams was the defensive coordinator of the Titans for the 1997-2000 seasons and an assistant when the team was in Houston.'
Buffalo is Now Linebacker Robinson's Neighborhood [8:50 PM]
WIVB-TV reports: 'Robinson expects to get more playing time in Buffalo, as the Bills will use him on third downs. He will replace Foreman as the starter at the weakside (away from the Tight End) position. He, London Fletcher and Keith Newman will be the team's three starting 'backers.'
Bills wheel and deal before the draft [8:48 PM]
WKBW-TV reports: 'You can see him Tom Donohoe working, slowly, methodically putting the pieces in place...re-building the Bills. You can see it today, even before the NFL Draft.'
Bills sign LB Eddie Robinson; acquire KR Rogers [8:42 PM]
Sportsticker reports: 'Foreman, 26, started all 16 games at weakside linebacker for the Bills last season, but Williams was seeking to upgrade the position. In Houston, he will likely start along with Jamie Sharper, who was claimed in the expansion draft, and free agent signee Kailee Wong at linebacker.'
Joey not going to New York; may slip to #8 or lower [7:32 PM]
ESPN reports: Despite published reports Panthers are still considering him with the 2nd overall choice, ESPN has learned that is not the case, and that the team will opt for Peppers unless it receives an attractive offer to trade out of #2 spot. Detroit also is not expected to choose Harrington with the #3 pick and, if that is the case, he might not be a viable option until the #8 or #10 choices, held, respectively, by the Chiefs and Bengals.
Rogers A Special Addition For The Bills [6:59 PM]
BuffaloBills.com reports: Buffalo Bills fans might remember Charlie Rogers most for his 81-yard kickoff return during a nationally televised game against the Bills on December 23, 2000. What they may not know is that the speedy Rogers has grown into one of the top return specialists in the league over the past three years.

Good ideas, excellent execution, a growing market and good investment are the key factors that will move African start-ups to the next level. These were the sentiments of the more than forty participants at the second DEMO Africa Investor Round Table in Lagos, Nigeria last week.
According to Eghosa Olmugui , General Partner at EchoVC, Africa presents a real opportunity for technology investors and it's a matter of time before this comes to fore. "The growth potential in Africa is too big to ignore, if we don't do it, someone will come and get it," he said.
This is the second of a series of three investor roundtable workshops that DEMO Africa is hosting to engage local investors in trying to identify best ways to address the need for credible, robust and efficient investment structures that can be tapped into by local and global investors to promote and connect tech start-ups to global ecosystems. The Roundtable was sponsored by USAID and hosted at the Microsoft office in Lagos.
The impressive panel and participants passionately vocalised their efforts and ambitions with regards to securing tech investments. Participants included fund managers from pension funds such as Stanbic, Total, Shell, Private Equity and Venture Capital firms, incubators, the Tony Elumelu foundation and successful techpreneurs such as Jobberman, TwinePine, Cheki and Kandora, who gave a clear picture of the opportunity in technology investment. The panel had a mix of investors and techprenuers including Barbara James, former director of AVCA and current CEO of Hernshaw Capital Partners, who presented the tech investment lifecycle and ecosystem; Tokunboh Ishmael of Ailitheia Capital, who shared her insights on the challenges and opportunities in tech investment as an early investor in Paga. Folabi Esan, partner at Adlevo Capital gave his views on the growth potential of the local tech landscape, having invested in Paga. Jobberman's Ayodeji Adewunmi and Chika Nwobi ended the presentations by sharing their success stories from techpreneur and investor perspectives.
DEMO Africa is the flagship initiative of the Liberating Innovation in Opportunity Nations in Africa (LIONS@frica) consortium whose partners include DEMO, Microsoft, InfoDEV, Nokia and US Department of State. The first ever Pan African technology launch pad will be hosted by the African eDevelopment Resource Centre and CIO East Africa under the auspices of Kenya's Ministry of Information and Communication the at the Kenyatta International Conference Centre in Nairobi, 24th to 26th October 2012. It is expected to attract venture capitalists, angel investors, investment fund managers, tech buyers, entrepreneurs, innovation supporters & media.
The next DEMO AFRICA Investor Round table will be held in Cape Town on the 27th September 2012.

Gold Beaches and Gold Markets
When taking a holiday to the fabulous region of Dalaman, you will find there are many resorts to choose from. In this area of Turkey there is a resort to suit every type of traveller no matter what your needs and requirements are.
The area has a typical Mediterranean climate with long and hot sunny summers with many of the days seeing up to thirteen hours of sunshine per day and even some days the temperatures can reach up to forty degrees Celsius. The winter season in this region is very nice indeed, with temperatures hardly ever dipping below seventeen degrees Celsius and the rainfall being very rare. This area also boasts an approximate three hundred and twenty days of sunshine per year so is a perfect destination to get away from our winter blues and get that well deserved sunshine break in the winter.
The beaches in this area are some of the greatest in Turkey, if not in the whole world. Olu Deniz has one of the most photographed beaches probably in the whole world and you will discover this beach is featured on many postcards you buy from any resort in Turkey.
Dalaman is the airport that you fly into and the furthest transfer is probably Icmeler which is approximately two hours by coach. On arrival into Turkey you will need to pay ten pound per person in Sterling English notes. This is an access visa and allows stays for up to ninety days. Everyone has to pay this and you really need to make sure that the ten pound note is clean and free of writing as they are only funny about the condition of the notes.
There are many trips to take advantage of when you are taking Dalaman region holidays and some of the best ones to discover are the magnificent white rocks of Pumukkale and the fabulous ancient ruins of Ephesus. One of the other attractions of Turkey is the Turkish baths and the mud baths which are a definite must do when you are here and they can be booked at any of the resorts you decide to visit.
If you want something for all the family, from plenty of activities to numerous entertainment venues why not try one of the big resorts available in the region. If you want to travel to this area of Turkey but are unsure of which resort to visit then below are a few of the main resorts with a brief description to try and help you decide.
MARMARIS This area is the most vibrant and energetic of all the resorts in Turkey. It has many bars and restaurants with a very lively and up beat atmosphere at all times of the day. The transfer is approximately one and a half hours from Dalaman airport. There are numerous water sports to involve yourself in on this fabulous long stretch of beach. The shoppers who travel here will find the bazaars and the weekly markets extremely tempting.
ICMELER This area is very laid back and relaxed and is a massive contrast to the neighbouring resort of Marmaris just a couple of minutes down the road. Again, the resort has an attractive beach with loads of activities to keep you busy should you want it. There are many shopping areas and a weekly market that is held on a Wednesday and it also offers many restaurants and bars just on a lower key than Marmaris, however, Marmaris is very accessible and is only a couple of minutes down the road in one of the Dolmus' if you fancy a livelier night out.
OLU DENIZ This resort has a tranquil and peaceful atmosphere and is famous for being the lazy beach destination. The resort presents wonderful beaches with stunning clear, blue seas. Shoppers will adore this area with numerous outlets in a wonderful shopping area selling everything from beautiful designer jewellery to bric a brac and souvenirs. There are restaurants to suit everyone's taste with the majority of them being situated on the seafront.
SARIGERME This is a rather new and fresh resort to the UK market. It is a charming little resort with a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere. This area's hotels are usually on an all inclusive basis due to there not being many restaurants and bars around and about. It is still quite traditional and offers travellers a beautiful beach with shallow seas, however, you will have to pay a very small entry charge to the beach as this helps with the upkeep and maintenance of the beach. Families with small children find this resort a desired area due to the transfers taking a mere twenty minutes compared to some of the two hour transfers to other resorts.
FETHIYE This is Olu Deniz's neighbouring resort offers much the same as Olu Deniz with a one hour transfer. The desirability of this resort has got to be the markets that they put on. There is a local market every Tuesday and the famous Gold Market where you can pick yourself a bargain up. Fethiye will offer various tourists with one of the most marvellous marinas in Turkey. It is here you can enjoy a truly outstanding meal in one of the numerous restaurants.
So what ever your tastes or your needs and requirements for a summer or winter break Dalaman region holidays will suit everyone and this information will hopefully help you decide on your perfect resort in the area.

A consistent second half to the campaign could secure fourth place for Liverpool – that's the belief of former Reds midfielder Ray Houghton.
Nine points currently separate Brendan Rodgers' side from the top four and Champions League qualification, and Houghton considers the competition to be wide open.
"This season, more than any other, fourth place is up for grabs between Tottenham, Arsenal, Everton and Liverpool," the 51-year-old told talkSPORT.
"The next few matches will show us exactly where they are.
"I'd love to see them up there competing for a top four position. In the middle of November, I actually thought there was a chance.
"If you looked at their run of games, they only had Tottenham who were a top-four side to play - and I felt if Liverpool could have a consistent run they'd be close to the top four.
"They're not too far away.
"They're nowhere near Manchester United or Manchester City, but they're not too far away from fourth place. If they can sustain a run between now and the end of the season, who knows?"
Rodgers strengthened his options with the signing of Daniel Sturridge at the beginning of the month, and was further boosted by the return from injury of Fabio Borini.
And more additions could prove to be the difference in the top-four race according to Houghton.
He added: "Sturridge coming in has given them an extra body going forward, someone who can score a few goals and take the club forward. Borini is coming back so there's more depth.
"I'd still like to see another two or three players come in before the end of the transfer window, because I think they need a bit more depth - maybe a defender and midfield player.
"Then they could compete for a top-four spot."

The horror genre has always produced some really fun films, but when some humor is brought into the mix the risk of losing fun and get just bad. The latest looking to bring the blood and fun together is All Cheerleaders Die from I Know Who Killed Me director Chris Sivertson and The Woman director Lucky McKee.
In the film, teenage outsider Maddy is keeping some dark secrets and holding a serious grudge against the captain of the Blackfoot High football team. When Maddy joins the school's elite and powerful cheerleading squad, she convinces her new friends to help inflict her revenge. After a late-night party goes awry, their plans take an unexpected turn for the worst and all of the girls die. A sinister, supernatural power intervenes and the girls mysteriously appear at school the next day with a killer new look… and some unusual new appetites. This film is a lot of fun and while a lot of the characters seem to jump right into the violence and evil with very little reasoning or thought if you just go with it you are likely to have a lot of fun. This is far from a perfect film, but is surely a lot of fun and worth checking out. Not sure if there are going to be more, but with the twist ending and the title card at the end it implies it is possible and welcome fun.
Now fans of the genre have a chance to get on the fun with a chance to win a DVD copy of the film as well as a copy of the vinyl soundtrack. To win, all you have to do is subscribe to my page and answer the trivia question below. Please make sure to email in your answer and do not post it below or it will not be counted.

I confess that I am not a huge fan of traditional granola, meaning granola made from oats. Why then, you might wonder, do I have so many granola recipes? That would be because my husband loves granola and it is one of the easiest and healthiest cold breakfast cereals you can make.
Buckwheat granola, however, is more my style. I can enjoy it by the handful any time of the day for a trailmix-like snack. It is not so crunchy that is will break your teeth. On top of that it is raw, vegan, gluten-free and a living food if you sprout the buckwheat and seeds first.
You need a dehydrator or an oven that goes to 110 degrees to make this recipe.
Makes: 6-7 cups
2 C. raw buckwheat (see tips)
1 C. raw pecans, roughly chopped
1/4 C. raw sunflower seeds
1-2 Tb. ground flax seeds
2 Tb. coconut oil, cold-pressed and extra virgin or hot water
1/3 C. raw honey or raw agave
1 tsp. cinnamon and vanilla extract (optional)
1/4 tsp salt (optional)
1/3 C. small organic raisins (optional)
Directions: Sprouting the Buckwheat and Seeds
- Rinse the buckwheat well. Cover with water by 1 inch and soak overnight or 8-10 hours. Rinse and drain well. You can use as is and skip to the next step or continue to sprout it by placing it in a sprouting jar with a sprouting lid OR a strainer covered by a tea towel. Rinse once daily and make sure there is good drainage. Sprout 24 hours or until small tails emerge if desired, 1-2 days.
- Meanwhile, soak the sunflower seeds in water overnight. Drain well and use as is or sprout 24 hours. Do not sprout longer than 24 hours or wait for tails to emerge. They are sprouted as soon as the pointy end extends slightly, 1/16″.
Directions: Dehydrating Granola
- Drain the soaked or sprouted buckwheat and sunseeds well. Place in a large bowl and mix with the pecans and flax.
- Warm the coconut oil just to melt. Remove from heat and mix with the honey, cinnamon, vanilla and salt. Whisk well and pour over the buckwheat mix. Stir to coat evenly.
- Spread the granola onto a dehydrator tray(s), 1/4-1/2 inch thick. The mesh trays work fine, but you can use the silicone sheets if desired.
- Dehydrate at 110 degrees for 7-8 hours. If you oven goes that low, spread the granola on a parchment paper-lined cookie sheet. Add the raisins if using. Let cool and dry for another hour before storing in an airtight container in your pantry.
- Raw buckwheat is light green and tanish-white. Toasted buckwheat is different shades of brown and tan. If you have toasted buckwheat (also called Kasha) you can use it for the granola, but it will not be a sprouted or raw food. Skip any soaking or sprouting steps. Simply rinse the Kasha well and drain and combine with the nuts and (unsoaked) seeds. Proceed with the directions.
- If you use a whole raw nut, like cashews, you can sprout them too. Follow the same instructions for the sunflower seeds. Halved nuts like walnuts and pecans do not sprout. See Sprouting for extra tips.

We develop a model based on cognitive dissonance that focuses on the importance of self-image. An experiment (a dictator game variant) tests the model. First, we find that subjects whose choices involve two psychologically inconsistent cognitions indeed report higher levels of experienced conflict and take more time for their decisions (our proxies for cognitive dissonance). Second, we find support for the main model components. An individual's self-image, the sensitivity to cognitive dissonance, and expected behavior of others have a positive effect on other-regarding behavior. jportal_jpjournal_00000016 2011-05-27T05:49:42.528Z 2011-05-27T05:49:16.758Z

The CW has released the official synopsis for The Vampire Diaries: 1912 (EP316), set to air when the show returns from hiatus on Thursday, March 15th. The episode marks the first TVD appearance of Cassidy Freeman as Sage. Highlight for spoilers or head to the Episode Index:
THE MURDER MYSTERY DEEPENS — [spoiler]The present-day murders in Mystic Falls remind Damon (Ian Somerhalder) of a similar crime spree a century earlier. In flashbacks to 1912, Damon recalls a beautiful vampire, Sage (guest star Cassidy Freeman), who showed him a whole new way to exist. Sheriff Forbes (Marguerite MacIntyre) warns Damon not to get involved in her investigation, but Damon is convinced she's going after the wrong suspect. Elena (Nina Dobrev) and Matt (Zach Roerig) resort to breaking and entering in their search for evidence to prove Dr. Fell (guest star Torrey Devitto) is a murderer. For reasons known only to her, Rebekah (guest star Claire Holt), becomes interested in locating one of the town's oldest landmarks. Finally, Elena comes to a new understanding of the path her life has taken, and Damon makes an emotional confession to Stefan (Paul Wesley).[/spoiler]
The episode was directed by John Behring and written by Julie Plec with Elisabeth R. Finch.

We may not be getting a new episode tonight, but here's a little treat from the CW to help make up for it: stills from the next episode, 1912 (EP316), which will air on March 15! And as the name of the episode suggests, we have some flashback images as well as some contemporary ones. Take a peek below and click them for bigger versions in the Gallery.

The Hollywood Reporter chatted with Julie Plec about tonight's new episode, All My Children (EP315), and the faces (new and familiar), agendas, and potentially elusive "happy endings" that will carry us through until the Season 3 finale.
THR: In a recent interview, you said there's going to come a point where a decision needs to be made with Elena and the Salvatore brothers. Will that come before the season's over or will that be series long?
Plec: The current state of the triangle will definitely come to a head by the end of the season. The most important thing people need to understand now is that "end game" equals end. All conversations about the endgame should be tabled until the end. We're not going to get out of this season without Elena realizing that she cannot keep fighting her feelings for these two brothers and that there's a decision that has to be made.

What's better than a Daniel Gillies Q&A? Being able to hear the words straight from the man's mouth, that's what. Huge thanks to The TV Addict for recording the session and be sure to read more over at their website. Watch the video below or watch on YouTube.
Taking a few minutes to chat with press, Daniel shared what he thinks is the reason behind Elijah's blood-abstinence, what is really going on with Elijah and Elena in those smoldering scenes, and what else he just brings to the increasingly complex role. Daniel also gives some reflective comments on the Original siblings: Klaus, Finn, Kol and Rebekah, and the relationships that Elijah has with each – and what he really thinks of Stefan and Damon.

TV Line caught up with Vampire Diaries guest star Daniel Gillies to discuss the Original family, recent developments following Dangerous Liaisons (EP314), and a few hints at Elijah's mindset as we head into tomorrow night's new episode, All My Children (EP315). Obviously the interview is highly spoilery if you're behind, so proceed with caution! Oh, and then there's this:
"I'm really eager to look at that kind of unity between them, because it's exciting for me when I watch the Originals working together," he adds. "They look like a new television show." (Yes, he's aware of the fans' pleas for an Originals spin-off and says he'll do "whatever they tell me. I'd love to be a part of something new like that.")
Yeah, we knew some of you would like that. And if you're concerned about what Daniel's new show, Saving Hope, means for his future on The Vampire Diaries, you may be encouraged by what he has to say.

After this week's episode, All My Children (EP315), The Vampire Diaries will be going on a brief hiatus. We know, we know – major suckage. But the show returns with 1912 (EP316) on Thursday, March 15th – a flashback episode! The February 17th issue of Entertainment Weekly teased that this particular episode will "explain how Damon became the Casanova we know (and love-hate) today" and Julie Plec says:
"We get to see the birth and rebirth of that wicked, wonderful character."
And to add to the awesome, TV Guide has our first look at 1912, including Damon in a sharp suit and guest star Cassidy Freeman as Sage. Says Freeman:
"[Sage is] really aware of what being a vampire is and owns it," says Freeman, who says it "has been a dream to play a vampire" and that she was "jumping for joy" when she got the part.
FYI, book fans: This Sage is completely unrelated to the Sage of the book series. In case you were wondering!

Taylor is a beautiful and very friendly 16-month-old blue pit bull mix who has had the misfortune to wind up in Kennel 32 at the San Bernardino City Animal Shelter. Here, the euthanasia rates for any dogs resembling terriers - no matter how sweet their dispositions or how great their health, are extremely high; they die too soon.
On Taylor's first outing, she had to be gently coaxed out of her kennel; curled up in the rear of her tiny prison, she just shook in fear. When the shy, mellow pooch figured out that her human companions were friendly, she relaxed; her face filled with a smile as she generously offered her sloppy kisses of gratitude.
Taylor isn't safe. Wednesday is stated to be her "due out" date.
Her almond eyes plead, "please take me out of here. I want to see tomorrow with someone just like you."
Click here on Facebook to follow her urgent quest to find a home.
The following are several videos recorded to show how well Taylor gets along with other dogs and the volunteers. Please share Taylor's story with your friends, family, and coworkers. Sharing saves lives.

David Coulier married his longtime girlfriend Melissa Bring in a beautiful Montana ceremony on Wednesday. The wedding was a full house literally as many of Coulier's "Full House" co-stars were on hand to celebrate the 54-year old's marriage. On Thursday the New York Daily News reported on David Coulier's nuptials that featured many familiar faces from '80's sitcom history.
True to the stories that the cast of "Full House" still stay friendly and keep in touch, many of them were on hand for Coulier's wedding. Known to many as "Uncle Joey," Coulier is now starting his own full house with his brand new wife Melissa Bring. Coulier and Bring tied the knot after almost ten years together.
The Montana wedding was private and not publicized but fans caught on quick as "Full House" cast members began posting pictures on social media. Candace Cameron Bure, who recently competed on "Dancing With The Stars" posted several photos to her Instagram account while in Montana. Those photos included several of herself posing with David Coulier, John Stamos and Andrea Barber who played annoying friend Kimmy Gibbler.
The only notable "Full House" stars not in attendance were Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen as well as Lori Loughlin. It is unclear why the women did not attend and nothing has been said about their absence.
Bob Saget was absent from the Montana photo fun but Bure assured fans that he would be there to make a toast to Coulier. She said Saget and Coulier have been great friends for years and even quipped that she would probably cry when Saget spoke because she will be laughing so hard.
This isn't the first reunion for the "Full House" cast. Many of the TV sitcom family were present when Candace was competing on "Dancing With The Stars." According to Bure, the former cast mates see each other all the time and remain very close.

Proper attire is often requested though not always necessarily required... unless we're talking about safe sex. Which, coincidentally, we are. Proper Attire Condoms ($6) have a handful of well-known designers creating packaging for their prophylactics, and one of our faves, Rebecca Minkoff, happens to have a collection. Here's one situation where you do want to play it safe with style.
Just piping in with the "play it safe with style" line is brilliant. Well done.

An Oklahoma shooting had people in Norman in a panic on the morning of Jan. 22 when shots were reported fired at the University of Oklahoma. However, President David Boren sent out a message that claims that the shooting was a false alarm.
UPDATE (1:07 p.m. EST) - President David Boren came out to speak to members of the media and said there was no evidence that shots were fired but said they could not rule that out. He said that there were SWAT team members going through the building and that Gould Hall was evacuated within minutes after getting the call. He also said that Gould Hall has been completely searched and there was nothing found to show there was gunshots.
He said all campus operations resumed at noon, with the exception of Gould Hall where they are searching it again just in case.
He also talked about how he has been speaking to students through Twitter to keep everyone updated and safe. He also said it was reassuring that the police and SWAT were on the scene very quickly and that the students and faculty did their part perfectly.
The reports indicated that the shooting took place at the dorm Gould Hall and the students and faculty at the University were asked to immediately seek shelter. The news spread through Norman and all the elementary and high schools went into immediate lockdown.
According to sources at one elementary school, no adults are allowed in or out of the school as long as the lockdown is in effect but children are allowed to remain in the schools where they would remain safe.
The police arrived at the University of Oklahoma after the Oklahoma shooting was reported and began their investigation. According to President Boren, there was no evidence of a shooting and a student spoke to Examiner.com, letting us know that the lockdown on campus had already ended by 12:15 and only Gould Hall was still under lockdown.
The word is that there might have been something that backfired or popped in the building and that was what was mistaken as a gunshot. For now, reports indicate that there was no Oklahoma shooting and classes have resumed as usual on campus.
If there is any further news, this report will be updated to reflect on it.

Nautical Baby Shower (18 photos)
Sign In or Register Now
This weekend I hosted a baby shower for my friend Dorothy who is about to have a beautiful baby girl. She requested a nautical theme and I couldn't have been more excited to oblige. I decorated with lots of blue and white and pops of bright red. As always, my desk substituted nicely for the serving table. I made the ocean mural by covering a bulletin board in fabric and then filling the scene with the ship and sea creatures made from paper, fabric, string, glitter and sequins. It was a labor of love. One that required the use of tweezers! All of our fantastic friends contributed a dish to the table from (pinterest-y) caprese skewers to wings. I tried out the Pillsbury recipe for mini fruit pizzas and they were a big hit! I created the floral arrangements with fresh blooms from the local farmer's market and a few additions from Trader Joe's. I picked up these "AHOY" letters from the fabric store and painted them with matching blue stripes. One of my favorite details from the day were the pieces of left over scrap wood from our shelves that I used as risers. Definitely going to use that trick again! I put drinks and favors on top of what is normally my office cabinet. We drank Three Wishes wine from Whole Foods (only $1.99/bottle and pretty tasty) and Izze sodas. The favors were tea light holders from Target that I stuffed with a candle, Ferrero Rocher candies and a bright red nail polish. I accented the coffee table with a quick fabric "runner" (a yard and a half of fabric folded and ironed), a lifesaver and a floral arrangement. It was quick and easy, but it tied in nicely with the rest of the room. I set up a quick station for making onesies and our friend Lindsey provided fabric, iron on adhesive, buttons and sewing supplies. I hung a clothes line and pins for displaying their creations and they quickly filled it with adorable little outfits for Dorothy to take home. We played a Jeopardy-style game in teams. The categories ranged from questions about Dorothy and the baby to "Sailing" and "Birth Stats". It was a blast being a game show host and the ladies got fiercely competitive for the Trader Joe's organic chocolate bars that I offered as the prize. And of course, we opened presents. Dorothy got tons of adorable tiny things for her new baby girl that made us all squeal at the cuteness. It was the first baby shower that I've thrown but I think it was a big success. I can't wait to host another!

It looks like Microsoft could unveil its new version of Windows as previously reported, with Windows 9 to be unveiled at a special media event on September 30, according to The Verge.
We should see this event have Microsoft unleash a preview version of the OS, codenamed Threshold. Windows 9 will deliver an evolution of Microsoft's ever-changing desktop OS, where we'll see a new Start Menu, virtual desktops, the removal of the Charms bar, and much more. We should also see Microsoft include its digital assistant Cortana, but we don't know if this will make it into the preview build or not.
