Cain Plan Helps Wealthy, Liberal Group Says
A new analysis from a left-leaning think tank concludes that Herman Cain's "9-9-9" tax plan would generate large tax breaks for the wealthiest Americans while adding to the tax bills of low-income people.
However, the analysis doesn't appear to account for some provisions that people close to the Cain camp have said would be part of the plan. Those provisions could help soften the plan's harshest effects for low-income people.
The analysis, from Citizens for Tax Justice, can be viewed here: http://www.ctj.org/pdf/cainplan.pdf
If the 9-9-9 plan were in effect today, the richest 1% of taxpayers "would each pay $210,000 less in annual taxes on average, while the poorest 60% of taxpayers would each pay about $2,000 more in annual taxes on average," according to the analysis by Citizens for Tax Justice.
"Moreover, under the 9-9-9 plan, the United States government would collect about $340 billion less in revenue in 2011 alone," it says.
Mr. Cain has surged in the race for the Republican presidential nomination, due in part to his tax plan. In its basic outlines, it would scrap the current tax code and replace it with a 9% individual flat tax, a 9% business flat tax and a 9% national sales tax.
The plan has been widely criticized by liberals who say it would shove more of the tax burden onto lower- and middle-income earners. Some conservative anti-tax groups and retailers also have raised concerns about the impact of the retail sales tax on the economy and their industry.
Mr. Cain's campaign didn't immediately respond to requests for comment.
Some tax experts said the CTJ analysis doesn't appear to account for some as yet ill-defined provisions of the plan that could protect people living under the poverty line.
For instance, a firm that analyzed the 9-9-9 plan for the Cain camp assumed that it would include a refundable credit to help shield the poorest Americans from all three of the plan's taxes, according to company president Gary Robbins. Another provision that's mentioned in Cain campaign literature would provide deductions for companies and people in empowerment zones.
Some experts who generally agree with Citizens for Tax Justice say those provisions would only make the revenue problem even worse.
"When you add a big standard deduction or a [credit], you hemorrhage revenues," said Ed Kleinbard, a law professor at the University of Southern California and a former chief of staff of the congressional Joint Committee on Taxation. "They have a huge problem here. The rock is their skewed distribution, the hard place [is] government revenues."

A bizarre landslide and localized tsunami leaves scientists puzzled in Nord-Statland, Norway. On January 29, 2014, the county of Nord-Trøndelag in Norway had to deal with the aftermath of "yet another" natural calamity that forced evacuations. No one was injured, but more than 50 people had to be evacuated.
The earth wobble and sloshing seas:
During the Pole Shift, Norway has a high ground advantage, but by bordering the coastline will be assaulted with both tidal waves from the Atlantic's sloshing and higher tides. This higher tide makes the tidal waves more forceful, such that they wash inland before dissipating. Thus, those in Norway should seek higher ground during the shift. As the earth wobble intensifies, sloshing seas occur, with water rushing into and out of bays, to and from the Atlantic. Those at the ends of the fjords may need to worry about water rushing inland a bit. ZetaTalk
Puzzled geologists and technicians "thought" an undersea landslide set off a tidal wave that smashed through the small community of Nord-Statland. They "assumed" that the destruction on late Wednesday afternoon was caused by a landslide into the sea on the other side of the fjord that sent a huge wave crashing into the small port.
- Be sure to SUBSCRIBE to keep current on earth wobble incidents.
However, after a closer look into the damage, the indications are that the landslide could not have set off such a reaction from the sea. Officials at the state waterways agency NVE now "think" an underwater landslide is to blame.
The tsunami hit the small Norwegian village of Nord-Statla around around 4:30 p.m. One witness said the wave that crashed into the village was more than 45 ft. high (15 meters).
Police arriving at the scene said the small coastal community "looked like a battlefield," with damaged boats scattered at sea and several buildings destroyed or badly damaged. Only a few were partially above the waterline. A car and several docks were tossed into the sea.
The damage to the village is dramatic as can be seen in the slideshow photos, as well as before and after images (from nrk.no)
Things are heating up dramatically. As Planet X (Nibiru) gets closer, more natural calamities of this type should be expected.
To be warned, is to be forearmed. Tick tock, time is short

".hack//Quantum" is an OAV based on the popular role playing game ".hack". Tobias, Mary and Sakuya are friends who are big fans of the online multiplayer game The World. One day, while trying to beat a difficult dungeon, they stumble into an ominous situation. As they try to clear their names, Sakuya meets a small cat named Hermit. Future events put Mary in a coma. What is going on and can they save Mary?
It's a decent OAV, but it really should have been a TV series, so that they could develop Hermit's friendship with Sakuya better. Not to mention that the story is suited to being an epic serial. The World looks like a really fun game to play. Namco should work with Cyberconnect2 to develop a real life version of the World. .hack fans would love it and buy it as quickly as they can. Honolulu ".hack" fans may like this anime.

There aren't many breaks on the NFL calendar. The end of the Super Bowl only intensifies NFL draft scouting. The end of the draft brings a flurry of free agent signings and roster maneuvering.
Although it might not seem that way for the New Orleans Saints, who have been embroiled in contract negotiations with star tight end Jimmy Graham, the last few weeks have been part of what Monday Morning Quarterback reporter Andrew Brandt calls the "dead month."
"There are no practices, no workouts, no coaches meetings, no scouting meetings and now with the new CBA's predetermined wage scale, no rookie contract negotiations," Brandt wrote Thursday. "I always compared football players and coaches to submarine workers doing six-month stints: They are now drawing their last breaths as civilians before going back inside the sub for six months."
Read more of Brandt's tales from the "dead month."

Coastal & Marine Spatial Planning
Coastal and marine spatial planning (CMSP) is a comprehensive, adaptive, integrated, ecosystem-based, and transparent planning process. It is based on sound science and integrates ecological, economic, and social information on current and projected uses of marine waters to inform management and regulatory decisions, reduce conflicts, and facilitate compatibility among projected uses, while sustaining the State's marine ecosystem and resources for present as well as future generations.
The National Ocean Policy published in 2010 was a landmark in U.S. history — the first ever Ocean Policy for a nation with a rich maritime history and that controls by far the largest ocean territory in the world through its Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ). The Policy called for implementation of CMSP on a regional basis for the coastal states and Great Lakes. The California Ocean Protection Council (OPC) in its 2012 Strategic Plan called for CMSP to be done on a regional basis and put forth a Conceptual Framework to guide regions in this process.
The Maritime Alliance supports the regional, comprehensive, ecosystem-based approach that balances economy with ecology. We have created a resource page with a variety of information on current or previous work or studies done on marine ecosystem mapping, planning and management. We hope you find this useful.

How to Calculate Marginal Revenue & Monopoly
Original post by Shula Asher Silberstein of Demand Media
Marginal revenue is the change in revenue as a business changes how much it produces. For most businesses, marginal revenue stays constant because the cost of creating the product stays constant. For monopolies, however, marginal revenue always changes because the monopoly's level of output affects the cost of making the item. You can calculate the effect of output on marginal revenues using a formula.
Step 1
Calculate the change in total revenue. Subtract the total revenue after increasing or decreasing your production from the total revenue before you made the change.
Step 2
Subtract the total quantity of product before you made the change from the total quantity of product after you made the change to determine your change in quantity.
Step 3
Divide the change in revenue by the change in quantity to calculate the marginal revenue.
Tips & Warnings
- Pay attention to if the numbers are negative or positive as you do these calculations. If marginal revenue is negative, it means revenue is decreasing due to your change, and you may need to adjust your output.
- Compare marginal revenue and marginal costs. You can maximize profits when these values are equal.
Things Needed
- Calculator

Barbers and Beauticians
The history of the Barbers and Beauticians Association can be traced back to the formation of the American Federation of Labor itself. The Association, then known as the Journeymen Barbers' Protective Union, played an important role in the foundation of the AFL and was present at its founding meeting in 1886 in Columbus, Ohio.
A year later, barbers from New York, Michigan and Ohio met and formed the Journeymen Barbers' International Union of America, which was later renamed the Barbers', Beauticians and Allied Industries International Association.
By the beginning of the 20th century, the Association's membership had grown to over 3,000, and established its headquarters in Indianapolis, Indiana. By 1930, the Association had over 50,000 members.
The economic standards as well as the working conditions for barbers and beauticians has dramatically improved since the union's founding, and continued to improve after the union merged with the United Food and Commercial Workers in September 1980. In 1987, after strong pressure from the UFCW, the U.S. Department of Occupational Safety and Health expanded hazard communication standards to provide information and training for hair care workers, further bettering the working environment for barbers and beauticians.

Footwear and Leatherworkers
During the 18th and 19th centuries, footwear and leather workers were known as cordwainers, and it was under that name that they first organized. In 1794, the Federal Society of Journeymen Cordwainers was founded. The cordwainers organized the first labor strike in North America in 1804. In the years following the strike, six cases of criminal conspiracy were brought against the union. The nature of the conspiracy was recorded as a "combination to raise their wages." The union was found guilty of these crimes by a Philadelphia jury in 1806.
The beginnings of mechanization in the U.S. threatened the craftsmen who worked primarily with their hands. In an effort to regulate machinery use, workers organized the Knights of St. Crispin. However, the speed and efficiency of new technology proved to be a very powerful adversary.
In 1895, the largest shoe unions along with a number of independent locals joined to form the Boot and Shoe Workers Union (BSWU), which went on to affiliate with the American Federation of Labor in 1895.
The BSWU continued to thrive until the late 1960s when an import wave of foreign-made footwear from low-earning countries began seriously affecting the union's growth. The situation only worsened during the 1970s when more imports caused more than 200 companies to go out of business and cost the jobs of more than 70,000 workers. As union membership declined, the resources imperative for the union's organizing campaigns also decreased, leaving the union with few choices. Although the BSWU's decision to merge with the UFCW came out of necessity, that merger has helped lend strength and unity to protect workers who remained in the U.S. industry.

Potomac Nationals pitcher Austin Voth has been named the Carolina League's Pitcher of the Week for the second straight week.
As he did the week prior, Voth tossed seven scoreless innings with one walk and eight K's on the 18th but went one better with only one hit allowed versus two. He retired the last 16 batters he faced.
Unfortunately, the effort did not result in a win as Voth matched up against Wilmington's Jonathan Dziedzic, who matched him goose egg for goose egg on the scoreboard and also got a no-decision for his efforts. The P-Nats ultimately lost the game, 3-0.
In five starts since his callup from Hagerstown, the 22-y.o. "northpaw" has turned in a quality start each time out with just a single run allowed on home run on June 29th and 36 strikeouts over 33 innings pitched. Between the two levels, Voth is 6-3 with a 1.75 ERA in 18 starts with a WHIP of 0.86 and 110 strikeouts in 102⅔ innings (9.64/9IP).

Keep it up! We need a big surplus of fine starting pitchers to keep the big club winning and Mike Rizzo ever busy. Congratulations!
Geoff Morrow reporting that Ryan Perry has been released.
And Tommy Milone wants to be traded after once again being the odd man out for Samardija and Hammels. Just went 6 – 0 and was demoted to AAA.
Peric. Not surprising on perry .
Beane won't deal tommy with the way
Pitching has been league wide on DL
Nice to see Nic Lee getting back together
Jefry Rod back down to GCL. Too many NCAA arms
To look @ @ auburn?
Soul drummer. Another good Espino outing !
Just reporting the games, sir. Just reporting the games with the jokey jokes. But Espino seems to be good folks. British might call him a fine bloke! The rZo says he best throw a lot of smoke, or he won't be in MLB and he'll be broke.
Austin could throw I saw him 2 starts in Potomac, Godd quality arm that sits around 91 92 but he has great maturity and mound presence. Watch this kid

We've heard this all so often. You know, like, meeting a significant other in a strip club. Or better yet, that significant being on the other side of the pole showcasing her aerial and acrobatic skills on the pole – which, by that point, had certainly caught your eye like the throngs of horn-dogged men drooling from their mouths like small-time weeny dachshunds. Yeah, nonetheless, it can get pretty pitiful.
But leave it to Mr. Entertainer to slide in his role as "captain save a hoe," snatching a page right from the Bay godfather himself, 40 Water aka E-40. Jamie Foxx attempted this impossible feat with Diamond, and we all know how that ended up. Brother man ended up in a friend zone faster than Lil Jon could blurt out his favorite words "yeah and what".
Of course, in this day and age, uh, transforming a stripper into a house-wife may quite possibly be the hardest job on this planet. It isn't an easy task by any means, because, how in the world could you force your money-wavering gal to quit her day job when either she's reeling in more cash than you in a regular 9-to-5, or just doesn't give a rat's ass about your feelings in the first place? I digress – but c'mon, if it irks me – it must be a nuisance to men living this firsthand.
Apparently, to some extent, it bothers R&B superstar Usher to a certain degree. Well enough to document his shifting of feelings, from caring what people constantly think about his pole-sliding woman, to simply coming to terms with her special skills in the A's teetering workforce. Strip club connoisseur Juicy J isn't so gentlemanly on the record, though.
He, as usual, wants to play devil's advocate and, mainly, just take your favorite stripper at King of Diamonds and make her his go-to piece for sexual ecstasy. It's a huge contrast in both portions of the newly released single, but that's what makes this song more intriguing, to say the least. Add an infectious Dr. Luke beat (and written by Planet VI) tailored chiefly for the strip clubs, and well, you have yourself a hit boys and girls. The duo is rumored to be hitting the stage this Sunday at the BET Awards to perform their joint collaboration for the first time. Tune in and look for them to make it rain during their set.
Swing over to Miss Info TV for a full listen of the single.

|Entertainment - Gossip
|Thursday, 28 April 2011 19:53
For many, this love story seems to be lifelong, however, there were many brides in the life of Prince William who may be at this moment in place of Kate Middleton , and be heir to the British crown. Let's see who are they:
Davina Duckworth-Chad
Davina Duckworth-Chad, the first woman with whom he was linked to Prince William and they believe that he lost his virginity. They met in the summer of 1999 on a cruise around the Aegean Sea, however, address the rumors of his alleged affair, he came out to deny it outright. She is now married and has twins.
Rose Farquhar
Rose Farquhar was the first official girlfriend of William. They were together in 2000 and is considered the first love of Prince. She is the daughter of a wealthy English landowner. Today she has moved to New York he studied at drama school and try to propel as a singer.
Jessica Craig
Jessica Craig seems to have had an important place in the heart of William. They met when they were 16 years, but the couple were 2000 to 2001 and many believe she would be his great love. The British press has been rumored that they had an affair in 2003 and the wedding of Kate and it's a farce, as was that of Charles and Lady Diana. However, there are many witnesses that between the new couple much love.
Natalie Hicks-Löbbecke
Natalie Hicks-Löbbecke had a short affair with him. They met because they form part of the circle Natalie polo William, the daughter of a British army officer. They were linked for ten years. She is currently married to a real estate magnate, with whom she has a son.
Arabella Musgrave
Arabella Musgrave took a short sharp engagement with the prince. They met in 2001 during a polo match, but all ended when he moved to college and could not continue with a love from afar. Currently she is in charge of public relations in the famous Gucci brand.
Carly Massy-Birch
Carly Massy-Birch was the first girl that the prince looked well and went to college. With Carly was very little time, since he still could not forget about Arabella and because their eyes were diverted quickly to Kate, also a student at the University of St. Andrews.
Olivia Hunt
While at the University once he set at Kate, was pleased to come out with Olivia Hunt. Many say that this short relationship lasted until the beginning of the relationship with Kate, but nothing was confirmed about it. The truth is that three of them are good friends now.
Kate Middleton, the future wife of Prince
Within hours of the most anticipated wedding of the year, it is recalled how the couple met both have won the hearts of many people. They first crossed at the University of St.Andrews, and it was he who noticed it first. They began a friendship in 2002 and from there the press has been stripped off and continued at every opportunity they had to be seen, different trips or vacations. That same year, Kate, William and two other friends, moved into a house together. At that time she linked it with another person, but many rumors that this was the time when they began a romance.
Apparently, and according to legend, the awakening of love or attraction by William, was when the parade was a dress in a fashion show. Only in 2004 was the first seen kissing. That happened on a ski slope in Switzerland.
In 2004 they had a separation by mutual agreement as to how their lives continue on, and if it was worth the relationship. Some argue that this could have been about a trip he made a cruise to Greece, where the crew was overflowing with women.
They waited until 2007 to be back together, but they insisted they were just good friends. It was not long that year, they resumed their relationship. In 2008 she became even more beloved by the royal family, when he attended the wedding of Peter Phillips, cousin of the prince, as the bride and representing him as he was unable to attend because he had other commitments.
Finally in 2010 announced a commitment of the couple and to be held this April 29, 2011 in Westminster Abbey, which lacks only a few hours and we all feel part.

USF Taco Bus Grand Opening Recap
I have attended quite a few restaurant openings in my time. I was one of the first customers to enter the Taco Bus USF location today for their Grand Opening. The new location looks great inside, they kept some things from the former Taqueria Monterrey, but added some fine Taco Bus finishes around the restaurant and cleared the right room so there is space for customers ordering take-out. There were plenty of familiar faces serving customers and the veterans helped to keep everything running smoothly during what will certainly be a busy first day on Fletcher Avenue as hungry USF students and Temple Terrace/Carrollwood residents pour in for a first-peek at the new Taco Bus USF.
Turning on the open light for the first time 🙂
The new location has plenty of new perks, such as beer specials and a 10% discount for USF students with valid identification. They honored their promise today. I will try their beer specials in a future visit. I ordered two tacos de carne asada and a horchata, which is my usual order choice at the other Taco Bus locations around town. The experienced service staff took orders in the line to speed up the process, something you will see happen quite frequently at the original Taco Bus on Hillsborough, which is regularly flooded with customers.
One of the first lines to inhabit the Taco Bus USF.
It wasn't long before my tacos and drink arrived at my table. The tortillas were fresh and everything what I am used to having at the Taco Bus. I know it might be a little difficult in the future to keep up the consistency since they will likely be hiring new employees, but I was definitely happy that the familiar faces delivered the same great product on opening day here.
Several giveaway items were given to first-comers including a free t-shirt, bumper sticker, and keychain add-on. College students love free t-shirts so I am happy to be one of the first to own a Taco Bus t-shirt. The font was pretty cool as well.
The restaurant is sprinkled with plenty of Taco Bus art, which is a nice addition and this will certainly be a plus for students in the area. It would be cool if they added a community wall for posted up USF student contributions, just a suggestion :).
Customers dining for the first time at the new Taco Bus USF.
Yours truly in front of the new Taco Bus USF ordering counter.

Jan. 10, 2012
TEMPE -- The Arizona State University women's water polo team is looking to start the season strong after earning its highest preseason ranking in school history on Tuesday, coming in at No. 5 in the first Mountain Pacific Sports Federation (MPSF) Coaches Poll of the year.
The Sun Devils look to improve from last year where they ended the 2011 season ranked eighth nationally after a seventh-place finish at the MPSF Championships. Tuesday's preseason poll places them behind Pac-12 rivals Stanford, California, USC and UCLA in the MPSF conference*.
In addition to the MPSF ranking, which is almost as good as the national rankings due to the incredibly competitive nature of the conference, the Sun Devils are showing strength in the NCAA preseason rankings as they will enter the season ranked No. 7 in the country as ranked by the Collegiate Water Polo Association Varsity Top 20 poll released last week.
All eight members of the MPSF conference are ranked in the top 10 in the CWPA poll, and take up the first five spots in the rankings on top of that.
This year's seniors, which include top returning goal-scorer Bella Morrison, will lead the Sun Devils into their highly anticipated season.
Arizona State water polo opens the 2012 season on Saturday, Jan. 27, at the UC Santa Barbara Tournament in Santa Barbara, Calif., as they will open the year against unranked Santa Clara in the opener before facing a tough early-season test in #6 UC-Irvine. ASU will also compete against CSU Bakersfield and Concordia in the competition.
*The Pac-12 Conference does not include water polo as a sport, though Pac-12 schools compete in the MPSF essentially a 'conference'.

What is the font that's used in Mac OS X's graphical user interface (GUI), in the menus, dialog boxes, etc.? Is it different from what was used in the classic Mac OS (i.e. OS 9 or older)? If so, what are the fonts back then? I like the font but never knew what it was. Thanks.
The font you see in most places on Mac OS X is Lucida Grande. Mac OS 1-7 used Chicago, then Mac OS 8 and 9 used Charcoal
The font used from Mac OS X is "Lucida Grande"; in Mac OS 9, the font used for menus and window title was "Charcoal," but it could be changed from the preference panel.
Apple is ditching Lucida Grande with its next iteration of OS X, which will now use Helvetica Neue as the default system font on OS X Yosemite.
Sorry but In my computer I would say that it is Apple Symbols. At least that is what the microsoft office says and it looks quite similar...


text: Hello denizens of the future, I am Elate, some of you may remember, some of you may also remember me, it is in fact an impossibility that none of you remember me, don't be stupid. I come from the distant time of TWO THOUSAND AND ELEVEN, when the Earth was in fact FLAT, and I see a lot of new mods and things about, texture packs. Now, I stopped playing when texture packs were just on the horizon. Can anyone tell me what the deal is now? What has changed? What are these mods I see, texture packs? New game content? Anything new coming up (I hear something about revival.)? And more precisely, what is going on with Red? I heard that Blue got fired (sadface) and lastly I recall him (Red) somewhat royally screwing over the PC community or some such?

As everyone already knows, the economy has limited how far many of us are willing to open our wallets for both everyday necessities and those good life luxuries. With people prioritizing their budgets, options like revamping our home decor or renovation projects are being put on hold. But there are a few ways you can update your home without spending all that much or a cent at all...
Declutter: An easy way to refresh your home decor with major results is to declutter, organize and clean. Even just decluttering a small room like the bathroom or closet can result in a big change. Now is the perfect time to donate, Craigslist, or eBay those furnishings and decor items that are preventing your home from realizing its full potential. Give a good look at your home and set aside those items that aren't being used and/or mismatch with the rest of your decor. Use the money for a nest egg (times might still get worse) or save for something with a small footprint by big impact (artwork, mirror, area rug, lighting).
New Interior paint: Compare the impact of a new couch against newly painted walls, and the paint wins hands down. Painting is a relatively low cost (though high effort) solution for the decor hum drums. And there's no need to go overboard with bright colours to achieve impact. Thoughtful use of complimentary hues, including pastels, greys, and earth tones can all result in a room that feels completely new even with the same furnishings within. And remember to stick with low VOC paint solutions...you want a new room without the new fumes.rearranging a room, and one often learns how to optimize space once they've removed everything out of the room and set out to restart with a blank slate. You might pay alot in sweat, no doubt, but this solution won't cost you a cent (just be careful and have someone help, lest you damage your furniture, or worse, yourself).
Purchase an area rug: besides new interior paint, we think the most cost efficient home decor purchase you can make with the greatest impact is floor covering. This can range for "what a steal" garage sale/flea market affordable to a long term pricey investment. For those on a budget, carpet tiles from FLOR make a lot of sense, while big name chains like Target, IKEA, Crate and Barrel all offer affordable area rugs that have the possibility of changing the whole look and feel of your living room or bedroom.

"Older men declare war. But it is the youth that must fight and die."
Herbert Hoover
If you believe in bible prophecy, then that means you believe we are in the last days. To some the signs are as obvious as an ominous storm cloud and impending rain.
Or a Red Sea.
In these times its been said that we will hear of wars and reports of wars; that nation would rise against nation. I start thinking about radiation and atomic energy. Unrivaled gore and carnage. Mouths agape the world over in shock and awe, as the epitome of violence reaches a crescendo of epic proportions.
To be honest with you I'm thinking about a fight between Manny Pacquiao and Ruslan Provodnikov.
Its been around 5 years now that the world has asked for and not received a fight between Floyd Mayweather and the Filipino icon. This mix-up between these two could produce fireworks and scintillating drama - but then again it could not. Pacquiao's last 7 victories have heard the final bell, while nothing Mayweather ever really does is with knockout intent. In other words, that much debated fight of historical proportions could turn out to be a boring affair and complete waste of time.
Pacquiao vs. Provodnikov would not be. In fact, it would be an absolute thriller.
In light of the recent departure of Richard Shaefer at Oscar De La Hoya's Golden Boy, there has been more speculation that we may now get some of the fights that have stymied the sport, much due to its rivalry with Bob Arum's Top Rank and the ongoing cold war between HBO and Showtime.
Its gotten to the point where it will cause unmitigated damage to boxing's already diminished standing in sport's pecking order of relevance - and even its own history - if things do not change.
Keith Thurman vs. Timothy Bradley, both respective Jr's, would result in somebody being somebody's daddy. What about a Provodnikov face-off with Mayweather, or an intriguing flare-up between old sparring partners Pacquiao vs. Shawn Porter? Danny Garcia vs. Provodnikov would also produce a great fight, but these are all rival factions considering network alliances.
Showtime can actually make a few more things happen in the star-studded welterweight division given its ties to Mayweather, Garcia, Thurman, Porter, Marcos Maidana and Lucas Matthysse.
But of all the fights that could be made realistically, right now, Pacquiao vs. Provodnikov has the most sex appeal and is a guaranteed action adventure. So if it were to happen, just how exactly would this fight play and what would be its ramifications?
I'll tell you.
In a true war, there are no victors. The winner will lose something that can never be regained, and the loser leaves a great deal of soul and body in defeat.
That's what would happen if friends Manny Pacquiao and Ruslan Provodnikov were to face each other in combat.
When you watch video of sparring sessions between Pacquiao and Provodnikov, it becomes compelling theater for a plethora of reasons. To start, Provodnikov was trying to make a name for himself in preparing Pacquiao for Timothy Bradley. Much in the way that Shawn Porter did in preparing Pacquiao for Miguel Cotto, Ruslan, "The Siberian Rocky", took full advantage of his opportunity.
And also like Porter, his time spent honing the skills of Pacquiao resulted in the honing of his own to championship heights.
Once something like that happens, there tends to be the feeling of equality, this feeling tinged within that perhaps I've even surpassed you. They can talk about being friends all they want, but within that ring, there would be no friends. Ruslan is a very very proud warrior and now a world champion, and he would fiercely defend his status.
The Provodnikov you would see opposite Manny Pacquiao would (believe it or not) now regard him as the sparring partner. He has absolute faith in his offense and power, and would feel his time had arrived (you'll see signs of this when he plows through Chris Algieri next week, in what will be a difficult fight for him).
No loser has ever won more than Provodnikov did in his loss to Bradley. He capitalized on that in his bullish title winning effort over Mike Alvarado, and would fight Pacquiao exactly the same.
And he would lose - badly.
Since Pacquiao's circuits were shut-off by Marquez in December 2012, he has again ascended to world title status and preeminence in the sport. He clearly beat Bradley in April (as he did the first time) to regain the WBO crown, and he mugged the rugged Brandon Rios with relative ease.
Provodnikov is a faster, more point blank attacker than Rios, and would force Manny into trench warfare. Because they know each other so well - and because Freddie knows him even more - the gameplan would involve neutralizing Provo's left, which Manny would for the most part, but it would still cause him peril in this fight.
Still in possession of the best feet in boxing (and perhaps the most dazzling footwork in boxing history), Pacquiao would be able to sidestep a lot of Provodnikov's blunt force trauma and render him available to all of his rather original offensive fireworks.
Provodnikov would get hit like never before, face severe swelling, cuts, bruises and abrasions of the worse kind because of how often he would be struck. He would occassionally corner Pacquiao or get him against the ropes and do some damage of his own, but here's the problem...
Provodnikov wouldn't throw anything that Pacquiao wouldn't see coming, so there would be no Marquez-like element of surprise. Provodnikov also does not throw many straight textbook punches, he hooks a lot, which is why he gets hit a lot.
And after about 8 rounds of very little giving and a great deal of taking, Pacquiao would pound Provodnikov into oblivion, raising red flags at ringside, and sending once white but all red towels flying into the ring in the 9th round.

Why Rosebud is advertising this as a "gang bang" video is beyond me, because the last time I checked, three guys and one girl did NOT qualify as a gang bang. However, if you overlook that aspect of the video and concentrate on the all-anal action, it has enough heat to keep you interested. Best of show goes to the Heather Lee/Peter North/Tom Byron/T.T.

Also worthy of note is Peter's blow-out facial pop on Kim Chambers after he, Marc Wallice and Joey Silvera have "climbed every mountain", and filled every void. To avoid complaints, retailers would do well to market this with other anal-themed featurettes — or in your general Rosebud section.

Panda Express is reaching out to Latinos, the nation's fastest growing community, with its latest premium fish entree in time for the Lenten season. The restaurant chain is setting a new gold standard for fish in the fast casual restaurant category with its newest entree, Golden Szechuan Fish. Made with 100 percent wild-caught North Pacific Cod and inspired by the culinary flavors of central China, Golden Szechuan Fish combines hand-sliced, lightly battered cod fillets, crisp sugar peas and sweet red bell peppers wok-tossed in a zesty Szechuan sauce.
"Golden Szechuan Fish offers our guests premium seafood in a fast casual setting," said Andy Kao, executive chef at Panda Express. "With seven pieces of cod per serving and a healthy serving of fresh-cut vegetables, Golden Szechuan Fish delivers the high quality, great taste and unique Chinese-inspired flavor guests have come to expect from Panda Express."
"We already know that Latinos comprise a growing and vibrant market for Panda Express and with the addition of our Golden Szechuan Fish we are offering a viable and delicious option to those members of this community who will be observing traditional dietary guidelines during Lent," Kao continued.
Just in time for the Lenten season, Golden Szechuan Fish will be available at participating Panda Express locations for a limited time beginning Wednesday, Feb. 26. North Pacific Cod is a lean whitefish with a sweet flavor, delicate texture and melt-in your-mouth flake. It also is an excellent source of high-quality protein. Panda also offers other seafood options throughout the year such as its award-winning Honey Walnut Shrimp, made with fresh tempura shrimp wok-tossed in a gourmet honey sauce and topped with glazed walnuts.

In a courageous and brilliant strategic move, the whistleblower everyone is talking about has come forward and revealed his identity as well as current location. His name is Edward Snowden, he is 29 years old and has fled to Hong Kong. He was most recently working with the NSA as a contractor for Booz Allen Hamilton. If you recall, Booz Allen Hamilton is one of the defense contractors that activist and unofficial Anonymous spokesperson Barrett Brown was investigating when he was arrested and turned into a political prisoner. As might be expected, The Guardian has broken Mr. Snowden's story. Some choice excerpts are below:
The individual responsible for one of the most significant leaks in US political history is Edward Snowden, a 29-year-old former technical assistant for the CIA and current employee of the defence contractor Booz Allen Hamilton. Snowden has been working at the National Security Agency for the last four years as an employee of various outside contractors, including Booz Allen and Dell.
The Guardian, after several days of interviews, is revealing his identity at his request. From the moment he decided to disclose numerous top-secret documents to the public, he was determined not to opt for the protection of anonymity. "I have no intention of hiding who I am because I know I have done nothing wrong," he said.
In a note accompanying the first set of documents he provided, he wrote: "I understand that I will be made to suffer for my actions," but "I will be satisfied if the federation of secret law, unequal pardon and irresistible executive powers that rule the world that I love are revealed even for an instant."
He has had "a very comfortable life" that included a salary of roughly $200,000, a girlfriend with whom he shared a home in Hawaii, a stable career, and a family he loves. "I'm willing to sacrifice all of that because I can't in good conscience allow the US government to destroy privacy, internet freedom and basic liberties for people around the world with this massive surveillance machine they're secretly building."
On May 20, he boarded a flight to Hong Kong, where he has remained ever since. He chose the city because "they have a spirited commitment to free speech and the right of political dissent", and because he believed that it was one of the few places in the world that both could and would resist the dictates of the US government.
"All my options are bad," he said. The US could begin extradition proceedings against him, a potentially problematic, lengthy and unpredictable course for Washington. Or the Chinese government might whisk him away for questioning, viewing him as a useful source of information. Or he might end up being grabbed and bundled into a plane bound for US territory.
The only time he became emotional during the many hours of interviews was when he pondered the impact his choices would have on his family, many of whom work for the US government. "The only thing I fear is the harmful effects on my family, who I won't be able to help any more. That's what keeps me up at night," he said, his eyes welling up with tears.
In 2003, he enlisted in the US army and began a training program to join the Special Forces. Invoking the same principles that he now cites to justify his leaks, he said: "I wanted to fight in the Iraq war because I felt like I had an obligation as a human being to help free people from oppression".
He recounted how his beliefs about the war's purpose were quickly dispelled. "Most of the people training us seemed pumped up about killing Arabs, not helping anyone," he said. After he broke both his legs in a training accident, he was discharged.
"Much of what I saw in Geneva really disillusioned me about how my government functions and what its impact is in the world," he says. "I realized that I was part of something that was doing far more harm than good."
Thank you Edward Snowden. You are the definition of hero.
There is a powerful video interview with Edward in the full Guardian article, which can be found here.

Duane "Dog" Chapman from "Dog & Beth On the Hunt" has been speaking out on regulating bounty hunters. In an incident involving bounty hunter Benny Gordon, Dog is determined to change current legislation to make bounty hunters go through mandatory licensing and training.
According to the Tribune Herald, Benny Gordon made news when police charged him with first-degree criminal property damage and second-degree reckless endangering, two counts each of third degree promotion of a dangerous drug and drug paraphernalia. Benny is a bondsman for 4Freedom Bail Bonds. He allegedly was on a high-speed chase, trying to apprehend Raylad Brown. According to reports, Benny slammed his pickup into Raylad's car several times. One time resulted in damaging a rock wall on private property. The incident happened Sept. 4, 2013 and Benny was indicted on Jan. 15, 2014.
Benny chased down the suspect on foot. When police arrived, it is a case of two very different testimonies. Police arrested Benny and they found two glass pipes that contained the residue of crystal methamphetamine on him. He said the pipes belonged to Raylad. He also denies ramming into the rock wall.
Benny has a long past criminal record, of at least 24 convictions, ranging from forgery, theft, credit card fraud, car theft, escape, attempted theft, and a firearms charge. He has at least nine felonies on his record.
In April 2013, Dog and Beth met with lawmakers in Oklahoma City at the state capitol hoping to have an impact at changing the legislation to regulate bounty hunters. They have been working with the Republican state Sen. Ralph Shortey to change the current legislative bill by having tougher regulation. They touched on this subject last year on their show, "Dog and Beth on the Hunt" on CMT.
When Dog catches his bail jumper and finds dope or drug paraphernalia on them, he has them destroy it. Drugs are destroyed by dumping them out, smashing them underfoot or watering them away. Dog has the fugitives smash their glass pipes.
Some felons make excellent bounty hunters, while others bend the law to catch their fugitive in any way possible. What do you think? Do you agree with Dog, that we need tougher regulation for bounty hunters, or do you think that bounty hunters have a right to apprehend the bail jumper no matter the cost?

Cyprus, France's Total to cooperate on gas plant
Posted at: 11/07/2013 6:05 AM
(AP) NICOSIA, Cyprus - Cyprus and French energy company Total have agreed to cooperate on developing a planned natural gas processing facility in the bailed-out country.
In a statement Thursday, they say a facility that will liquefy gas for export to European and Asian markets will be their top priority as they try to turn a profit on any newfound offshore deposits.
Total is licensed to search for gas in two areas, or `blocks', off Cyprus' south coast.
Cyprus has already signed a similar deal with U.S. firm Noble Energy and Israel's Delek and Avner. The three companies are partners in a Cypriot gas field that's estimated to contain 3.6-6 trillion cubic feet of gas.
Cyprus has also licensed Italy's ENI and South Korea's Kogas to search for offshore gas.

Crapita should have spent the money to hire a proper DBA to normalise the data when the system was being designed.
Capita is modifying its school management software after a letter about poor attendance was sent to the parents of a girl who had died. Macclesfield High School in Cheshire, which uses Capita's SIMS (school information management system) software, apologised to the parents of Megan Gillan for the distress the letter caused. …
Crapita should have spent the money to hire a proper DBA to normalise the data when the system was being designed.
Seems like they were a bit pikey here.
Grr. Blame the computer, blame the software. Never ever admit or explain that it was a human error made by the programmers or designers who didn't consider this condition when they wrote the code. Don't question how a school system can send a letter to a child's parents without anyone handling that letter knowing enough about the child in question to realise the mistake before the letter was sent. Much simpler just to blame the computer.
This doesn't come as a surprise. My wife has the misfortune to have to work with SIMS as a member of teaching staff at a local secondary school. If you think <insert least favourite software> is bad you should try SIMS. It raises the concept of 'user hostile' to entirely new levels.
If SIMS is in anyway representative of software used in government, there's no hope. Mine's the one with the passport and one-way tickets to, well, anywhere will do.
this surprises me not one jot. Most of the company runs on Visio to plan the work, and Excel to do it.
Note that by "plan the work", I mean "a bunch of 'project managers who have no idea about anything make pretty pictures that bear no relation to reality", and by "do the work", I mean "people who sometimes care about trying to do a good job struggling against the glacier-like momentum of the beaurocracy and not getting any sort of appropriate tools for the job".
Anonymous? You betcha, I ain't got my redundancy payment yet...!
It's some really crappy software which just hates to work, and Capita are no better.
They "acknowledge that there is a problem with part of their software" (Canned reply to most problems you have) then do sod all about it unless enough users complain.
Fire because it's the best way to handle SIMS.
Honestly if you have ever had to work with this POS software you understand that this is completly par for the course
''Blame the computer'' -- a good excuse.
OK: it probably did print the letter, but someone must have taken it from the printer, put it into an envelope and put it into the post. The death of a child would have been known by every member of staff, schools are not that big.
The computer printed it, some non-thinking moron in the school office did the rest.
Presumably some human signed it, though?
Where a local census database had a two-digit field for each person's age. As a result, a 106-year-old lady came up as 06 years old, and got a visit from the local truant catcher.
It's easy to blame the software, but some fucking numpty had to put the bloody letter in an envelope. Are there so many skiving little gits that human intervention is not feasible?
"Capita have asked the school to convey their apologies to Mr and Mrs Gillan."
They never can face up to the people their incompetence messes up.
Cause: poor system design: having data replicated in different places and not having sufficient interfaces between subsystems to send delete instructions across to ensure all subsystems are kept in sync.
Simple data replication issues.
Inadequate system testing too.
The school can thank British Gas for making it appear laudable that they took responsibility and apologised rather than just blaming the computer...
Let's see. High profile cockup? Check. Managerial panic? Check. "Must do it now, now, now" software mod to a complex system to fix it? Check.
I'll bet that they're trimming the testing and QC processes to rush the fix out and prevent another tabloid page 2 quality fuckup. What they'll get, of course, is a whole new set of different pig's ears.
Watch this space.....
The school and the company should have their arses fined off. Maybe they should be exterminated and their unloved ones receive threatening absenteeism letters for the rest of their lives a la Readers Digest.
(Paris cos at least she realizes when someone's dead...)
A vision of the future for the database society
SIMS was my first exposure to real enterprisey software as a young and naive IT monkey.
Truly, it is an utterly repellent collection of buggy crapplets, ever so carefully obfuscated at the database and protocol levels to prevent people from attempting to replace any of the system with code that might actually *work*
I always loved the way that the support package was an optional expense... not that anyone would be able to use the software without it, given its tendency to break in various weird and wonderful ways throughout the year whenever an update to fix the last catastrophic problem was released.
Somehow I expect crapita to weather this economic downturn if all their projects work this way.
This may be the first time this has happened with a dead pupil, but hundreds of pupils leave or change schools after enrolling in September. Has it not been brought to Capita's attention that schools are routinely sending letters to pupils who have left despite apparently being deleted from the schools live records?
Does SIMS suffer the same problem in cases of long-term illness? Perhaps the school administrator should have entered the death certificate as a Doctor's certificate, after all, that's what it is.
The title mislead me... it should be "truancy letter" I was expecting it to be an attendance certificate for the pupil, which could have been funny, if sick, and open up the possibility of accusing the school of "preventing lawful burial of a body", or something. This is just... sad.
The only surprise is that they didn't also accuse her of watching TV without a licence.
No surprise to readers of Private Eye that Craptia are yet again responsible for a cock-up. How they manage to KEEP getting government contracts with their appalling record is a mystery.
This is why a national DNA database is a crap idea. Imagine a small human error (in software design, or someone forgets to sync up something, etc) which results in you being fingered for a murder or rape, and your life is ruined because of some automatic matching software which may or may not be accurate according to standards you may have trouble contradicting...
the DNA database computer would effectively be "deep thought"... incontravertible, all-knowing - at least to a jury of your peers.
Best case, the DNA database is proven to be utterly unreliable and we pay a fortnue for a crap white elephant which is less useful that when it only contained known felons.
Worst case, we have 20 years of miscarraiges of justice and an intransigent police force and justice community who won't listen.
This story just goes to show how databases + human error = terrible _individual_ stories.
She'll never get anywhere in this world with an attitude like that!
The Capita system may have printed the letter, but it wasn't the numpty that stuffed it in an envelope without looking...
Busineses and organisations have been using 'computer error' -themed excuses for misguided correspondence for two decades now. How is it we can laud over our technological advancements in medicine, space exploration and criminology, yet we are still not capable of checking if a letter is being sent to the wrong people?
This is NOT a computer error. This is a HUMAN error and the sooner these incompetents stop blaming everything other than themselves the sooner we can actually move civilisation forward a bit!
Surely the kid would have no problem getting a note from their mum then?
Seriously, if you want to "save costs and drive efficency" you use computers and software, if these don't work properly then it doesn't remove your own responsibility for the task, regardless of who you pay to do the work for you it's still your responsibility (yes you can blame somebody else for the failing, but it's still your responsibility).
SDS (Sudden Death Syndrome) is soo not funny - thats someones daughter you are talking about - please show some respect.
I remember when I was 11 and one of the 6 year olds in the school just dropped dead - it totally shattered her family - none of the girls were ever the same. Let alone the parents. Going through that again because some cheapass outsourcing company screwed things up makes things 100 times worse.
I lost my partner recently at 22 years old - she was diagnosed with cancer at 15 and fought with everything she had. It should never have happened, but I would hate to make any sort of comment like you did and cheapen someones memory like that - where the parents or siblings of this girl might see it.
Again, I'd ask you to please show some respect for this family... and if anyone feels like nailing up Capita Execs to the wall of their HQ by their intimates ... you have my blessing!
"Capita apologise to stunned parents"
They most certainly did not.. they asked the school to do it for them which stinks.
Frankly the UK director and the board should go to the parents house, cap in hand and admit that their software is shit and they are all going to give a month of their salary to the charity of the parents choice for causing such distress.
Once again a company who churn out shite products as cheaply as possible so that they can maximise their profits show that that they really have no fucking clue about real life.
The school has over 800 pupils. Why would anyone expect an admin assistant to recognise a particular name, especially since the school had done the right thing and taken her off the roll?
In any case, the pay offered to school admin assistants is barely enough to attract someone who can breathe, let alone someone who can think. It's probably because all the funding is going to Crapita.
If the school erred in any way it was in having any faith at all in the system that the LEA foisted on them
I told my wife, who has to use that POS every day, about this story and her first reaction was one of surprise. She was surprised that the school involved had even managed to get SIMS to print that letter never mind it sending a letter to a dead girl.
Re "If SIMS is in anyway representative of software used in government, there's no hope. Mine's the one with the passport and one-way tickets to, well, anywhere will do."
Sadly it probably is.
Where I work (which shall remain nameless), we bought an off the shelf system for a project. The man who suggested the software didn't check whether it scaled well. It didn't and was designed for far less data thanwe were planning to store.
The manager's solution? Sue the supplier for so much money that they promptly folded, thus guaranteeing a total lack of support for the system and eventually having to replace the system with one that is far from perfect, but at least works..
And yes, I do work for a moderately large public organisation.
If tasks are denatured with overlays of procedure and mechanisation then it's fairly obvious that mistakes like this will happen. Computers are a useful servant but a hideous master, as the saying goes.
The teaching staff are probably so busy with league table assessments, duty of care assessments and other assorted paperwork introduced by political meddlers that posting of the now mandatory attendance record has been delegated to someone who doesn't actually know the children.
There has been human error as well as a software one. The human error was the assumption that procedure is more important than process; that rules, regulations, check-sheets and computers are a substitute for personal interaction.
But wait for clarification and reassurance from Westminster: once the national child database is up and running and connected to all the other databases, errors such as this will become much less frequent.
for control of the populace. It is morally wrong, the first time was IBM and the holocaust.
Computers should only be used to improve service without holding distinct records on any person.
Anything else is wrong, period.
All developers and admins should sign a form of hippocratic oath to that affect, anyone working on a government database that can be used to control the populace is a traitor to the people and humanity.
States - "Personal data shall be accurate and, where necessary, kept up to date."
Or was complying with the law not part of the original bid for the work, and perhaps added as a billable change request later...
Mind you - how most of these consultancies manage to comply with the rest of the DPA for instance "not transmitting the data outside of the EU" whilst developing the systems off shore is beyond me...
...of many of the commenters on El Reg.
"but some fucking numpty had to put the bloody letter in an envelope."
You have NO IDEA of how many letters went out. It could have been a pile of a couple of hundred, including standard letters about school uniform or such-like. It won't have been just one.
For all you know, it could have been some temp covering for someone who was ill with stress, because of people like you spending their time swearing at them for something that wasn't their fault.
But don't consider that. Just blame the fucking numpty.
Well the software works fine - its the users in this case who need a swift kick up the arse.
the dead girl was NOT in school and as a result had poor attendance. that was specifically the computers job and it did it perfectly well.
The humans on the other hand had one job which they fucked up, to tell the computer about the dead girl.
its not rocket science.

Err, so how come I managed to e-mail your news desk about this at 12:32 on the 25th with this link to a BBC story http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/manchester/7963081.stm??
is clearly one of bad system design. Whoever thought SIMS up evidently didn't work their way through a list of possible events affecting students like (a) died and (b) moved to another school and (c) emigrated to another country.
All of these events should lead to cession of automatic communications with, or regarding, affected students, while still allowing one-off matters like printing out a transcript.
This is such an elementary mistake to make, you have to wonder just where Capita is finding their employees.
In fact, it's not a mistake: it's just stupid downright incompetence.
Which bits of "Megan's name had been taken off the school roll when she died and removed from the main school database" and "Capita had acknowledged that there is a problem with part of its software and is working to remedy it, because they realised that it could affect other schools" are particularly difficult to understand?
It's a sad mistake, could've been avoided with more care at several stages of the process. Hopefully will now be fixed. Let's move on.
(NB I heartily despise Crapita, this isn't intended to defend their position).
This software must be a relic from the old days of timeshare systems. What its doing in a UK school deserves some thought since they never used to have these systems back 30years ago when this type of software would have been developed. (And they certainly wouldn't have outsourced the work.)
Now, we're all IT types. Let's think about this a minute. A high school has maybe 2000 pupils, say 5000 to be generous (keep track of old pupils). You need to keep contact information and attendance information on this lot, information that would be difficult to put in more than a thousand bytes or so per individual. This 'database' could be run on a modern cellphone (although it would be difficult to hook the VT100s up to it!)
This is a SCAM folks. Someone has sweet talked the government into foisting legacy IT systems and work on the school system. Great for Capita, not so good for school budgets (they really need to spend the money on stuff like teachers and buildings).
Easier to blame the computer than to blame the utter lack of caring or quality control on the part of the schools who use the system, the programmers who wrote the system, or the company that profits from the system.
Me? I blame management. It's ALWAYS their fault, one way or another. Unfortunately, shit never sticks to those bastards.
How many simultaneous users do you think a school has for SIMS? What do you think the throughput of data is? Not that many and not much.
So why the need to replicate data within the SIMS system, why are they having multiple databases?
Any application they write should be able to fetch the data from a single database quite adequately.
Is the system really that complicated that in order to facility the design by the designers, they've partitioned it to have multiple databases hosted on different machines and replicate data? I doubt it.
As I said right at the start, poor system design.
"This 'database' could be run on a modern cellphone "
Looks like they sub-contracted the "Design" work to that well bunch of con-sultants, "Bolton and Lashup."
I work for a school in NSW, Australia... And you can bet the software we have to deal with is just as dodgy.
And to those who suggest it's bad software for storing the info in multiple databases.... If schools over there are anything like the NSW public ones, there is a mandated database that data MUST be in, followed by piles of 3d party tools that can't write to the mandatory database but are required to maintain sanity.
Making things worse, the NSW department of education now has 2 databases that MUST be entered into, but one feeds into the other for enrollment details. So there's 2 levels for student info, and some details don't transfer over correctly, which leads to them not going into the 3rd party stuff. Brilliant.

Smoking weed will lead to a life of vile depravity and crippling destitution. At least that appears to be the seriously misguided consensus of a recent pot propaganda segment featured on CNN's Anderson Cooper 360 entitled "Gone to Pot: Is Marijuana Addictive?"
The story, which serves as the journalistic equivalent to 'Reefer Madness,' features a sad collection of self-proclaimed marijuana junkies sitting around a Colorado rehab facility discussing the trials and tribulations they have experienced as the result of falling into the destructive clutches of the devil's weed.
National Correspondent Gary Tuchman may have been trying to deliver a compelling story, questioning whether the legalization of marijuana in Colorado could lead to an increase in addiction rates. However, all he manages to do is give the American viewer a glimpse into the brainwashed minority that believes the stoner lifestyle alone has the capacity to ruin lives.
One "addict," 22-year-old Stella Blessing, who incidentally also claims to have a fiendish taste for crack, meth and heroin, says that marijuana was her gateway drug. "I used it constantly throughout my other addictions," she said. "It seemed like no big deal, but I was, you know, taking bong hits driving down the highway…things were really crazy."
When asked how Colorado's new recreational marijuana laws might affect the group's recovery, some suggested that attending regular meetings would help them stay clean. "As far as going out and smelling weed everywhere, I think its something each individual has to learn to deal with within their own way," said one the women during the interview.
Recent studies have found that marijuana has the lowest potential for addiction, even next to caffeine.

Green is said to be as agreeable to the eyes as the sight of a beautiful woman, yet the color has been underrepresented in recent times, unless you count the perennial green Wellington boot. We've seen frequent revivals of reds, grays and browns in the fashion color scheme, but finally change is afoot for green in every shade. In current and forthcoming collections, many designers included green, the color that has been known to symbolize paradise, fertility, calm and even desire and envy. Miuccia Prada injected splashes of glistening emerald green into her generally subdued color palette of white, chocolate brown and smoky blue at Prada. The effect was stunning, marking the little Prada emerald duchesse satin skirt, a must-have for this spring. Alexander McQueen included an outfit in vivid lime green in his spring presentation otherwise dominated by black, white and earthy shades. Matthew Williamson used both aqua and mint green to complement his trademark candy color spectrum for fall. Hamish Morrow and Paul Smith rarely produce collections without the green playing a crucial role; this season they're intersecting with an important trend. If you need further confirmation to the rise of the color trend, on the streets of New York green is the quickly becoming the color choice for kids who dress up in Russell Athletics hoodies. Historically speaking, the color green was very difficult to produce and consequently the most expensive to buy. So for that extra sense of luxury and distinction, wear green this spring and indulge!

Manmohan Singh hopes that historians will be kind to him when they write about him. Faking News in-house historian Rum Guha writes a kind article.
It is disgusting to see a man, who has written literary novels and has a nicely styled ponytail, being treated as if he were some ordinary sexual predator.
The kind of media attention that I am getting in the last few days can be compared only with that given to Chennai Express. However, there is a difference between my fame and Chennai Express' fame.
After a reader of Faking News pointed out the possible "inspiration" behind Airtel's new logo, our investigative journalism team decided to dig further into the issue. After a month long investigation, our team has concluded that there was more to it than what meets our eyes. There clearly seems a hidden message in all the logos that appear inspired from the posteriors of various living beings.
As the year 2010 comes to an end with all kinds of scams making news, most of you must be getting ready to get more of scam related news in the coming year, but the assessment of our editorial team differs. We bring to you five non-scam events that we think would surely happen and create "Breaking News" across the newspapers and television channels.

The Biplane Houses
The Biplane Houses is Les Murray's first new volume of poems since 2002's Poems the Size of Photographs. In it we find the poet at his near-miraculous best. The collection exhibits both Murray's unfailing grace as a writer and his ability to write in any voice, style or genre: there are story poems, word-plays, history- and myth- makings, aphoristic fragments and domestic portraits. Houses are a many-sided theme of the book, and as ever, Murray's evocation of the natural world is unparalleled in its inventiveness and virtuosity.

Newcomers Frank Williams and Michael Ballard battled for Sue's District 5 seat, with Williams and his fellow Republicans edging out Democrats on Tuesday night.
Sue decided earlier this year not to run for re-election.
Williams, a Republican, made his first run at public office, but has served as the chairman of the N.C. 7th Congressional District Republican Party. .
He said he has worked for a year and a half campaigning for his seat.
"I don't want to fill anyone's shoes. I want to create my own shoes and be myself," he said. "I want to do what I think is right and do the best thing for the taxpayers."
Ballard, a Democrat, said he would consider another run for the commissioner's seat. He added the race between the two men went well.
"We ran it fair, and we ran it honest," he said.
In District 3, Republican candidate Pat Sykes ran unopposed.
The District 4 race featured incumbent Scott Phillips being challenged by Democrat Brenda McMillian.
Phillips, who will enter into his second term, said, "I'm looking forward to another four more years."
