Join Global Solutions Pittsburgh, local experts, and community members for a panel discussion and Q&A about the way in which technology impacts the right to free speech around the world.
The social and political landscapes have changed dramatically as technology has developed exponentially in the past two decades. As new means of expression become available, governments and for-profit enterprises alike have employed new methods of suppressing expression. And as more people express themselves, an equal number of surveillance and security measures have sprung up.
The United States is home to 41 million digital natives, or people aged 15-24 who have used the Internet for 5 years or more. While digital communication is more prevalent in U.S. society than it is in many other cultures, technology is used by people of all ages around the world. This discussion will focus on how people use technology for expression, how technology is used to suppress expression, and how expression and speech has fundamentally changed via technology.
On the panel for this discussion:
– Dr. Charles Rubin, Associate Professor of Political Science at Duquesne University
– Chris Schlag, Editor-in-Chief of Journal of Technology Law and Policy at the University of Pittsburgh School of Law
– John Patterson, Executive Director of Pittsburgh Community Television
All of our discussions are free, but we ask that you fill out the form below in order to RSVP for this discussion:

In difficult financial times, the first thing a family or individual cuts back on is entertainment, and one of the first forms of entertainment to cut back on is seeing a movie in the theater. A night in the theater for a family of five can run well over $50 when snacks are included.
Residents of the McHenry area have an advantage over those in many other suburban areas. McHenry has not one, but two affordable move theaters. The downtown, indoor theater is a relic, but it's conveniently located in the center of town right on the river. Adult tickets are $6 and children are $4. There is no difference between matinee and evening prices, putting the fun back in a Friday family night. This adult ticket cost is still less than the matinee price at many big chain theaters. But plan ahead: there are only two screens and only a handful of show times a day. The snacks at both theaters are reasonable as well: if the cheap ticket prices don't get you in there, the free refills of popcorn will!
The outdoor drive-in theater on Chapel Hill Road in McHenry is an experience all in its own. Open from May to September, you can have the best of both worlds, enjoying a movie while relishing the weather for under $15 per car. The best thing about this theater is that this cost pays for a double feature of films. With two or three people in the car, this is a steal!
So, before you completely rule out the movie theater because historically it breaks the bank, head out to McHenry and take your pick of the affordable entertainment.

I'm choosing a new laptop and one of the questions is a type of CPU — mobile or ultra-low voltage. If to be more precise, I'm torn between two models of Intel Core i5 — i5-2410M (Sandy Bridge) and i5-3317U (Ivy Bridge). Here is a comparison table of these models.
According to official specs the first one has 2.3 GHz clock speed while the second one has only 1.7 GHz, that's about 25% difference. Is it really important parameter and which CPU is preferable for a laptop for development, running VMware virtual machine, media and internet purposes?

If you are like many of us your workout schedule probably varies depending on the week. It is a rare individual who is able to keep their ideal workout schedule going at all times.
That said, the most common mistake people make when they are trying to get into better shape is not working out often enough or working out for a long enough period of time for each workout. There are a few key tips that are proven to make a difference in your body and your workout schedule and will leave you feeling better and ultimately will lead to more changes in your body.
Stretching before and after a workout is the most important aspect in maintaining your body over time. Not surprisingly though, this is the main area that people forgo when exercising. True, it is time consuming and you do not feel as if you are gaining anything from stretch but it is proven that stretching regularly when working out is the key to more flexibility, less injury, and therefore bigger changes in your body over time.
The Stretching Institute:This website is a great resource to find specific stretching advice according to what kind of exercise you are currently doing. For example baseball, basketball, running etc.
Stretching excercises at your desk: Stretching at work is an easy way to keep up the flexibility you need while saving time at the gym. For all of us who sit at a desk during work, which is many of us, stretching at work can be the ticket to getting more workouts in during the week and keeping yourself flexible so that you avoid injuries.
Drink Enough Water:
The key to endurance during a workout is hydration. Depending on what kind of workout you are doing there are different times and amounts of water you should drink. If you are playing a sport such as basketball it is extremely important to hydrate before you begin your workout. This is because there is very little time once you have begun to gain enough hydration.
Any workout that requires a lot of jumping, is team bases, or includes running is a workout where you should consciously drink a good amount of water before starting. If you are working out on a machine at a gym or at home you will be able to hydrate throughout your workout. Just be sure to bring enough water with you.
Lastly, and it is important to stress this point, if you are drinking anything but water you are in fact counteracting your workout. There are tons of energy and workout drinks out there. None of these will actually help you to have better results. In fact many are harmful because they contain so much sugar and salt. When it comes down to it, there is nothing better than good ole faithful water.

Little League: North Hawaii blasts Ka'u in district opener
HONOKAA — With just two weeks to prepare and pitching thresholds to be mindful of, the opening round of the Little League Major Division (11- to 12-year-olds) District Tournament is equal parts guessing game and math problem.
North Hawaii had the answer to the equation Friday, using a mix of power and speed to beat Ka'u 13-1 in the opening game of the tournament Friday at Honokaa Park.
"I think the first game is always a learning experience for everybody," North Hawaii head coach Lane Yanagisawa said. "All of the kids did what they had to do out there and made all the plays we needed to collect the win."
Hilo defeated Hamakua Coast 16-0 behind Jaystin Lewi's one-hitter in the second game, setting up a matchup with North Hawaii at 10:30 a.m. Saturday.
"Hilo is always the team to beat," Yanagisawa said. "We are looking forward to facing them."
Ka'u and Hamakua Coast will battle at 1:30 p.m Saturday, with the loser being eliminated from the tournament. The winner of that game will face the loser of the Hilo and North Hawaii contest at 10:30 a.m. Sunday. The championship is scheduled for Monday at 10:30 a.m.
The tournament champion will earn a berth to the best-of-three sectional playoffs at Walter Victor Field in Hilo on July 12-13 against the Maui district champion. The winner of that series will earn a trip to Oahu for the state tournament July 18.
Sheldon Aribal recorded the win for North Hawaii, going 1 2/3 innings and striking out two. Kaimi Hook, Ry Bleckel and Nalu Shimizu also saw time on the mound. All the hurlers stayed under the 20-pitch threshold.
"Our pitchers struggled a bit at times, but they got us the win," Yanagisawa said. "It can be tough, but we do our best to keep them all at 20 pitches so we can save them for the next day."
Bleckel provided the highlight of the afternoon with a three-run inside-the-park home run in the bottom of the third. The play was the climax of a seven-run inning for North Hawaii.
Mason Medeiros also contributed offensively for North Hawaii, going 2 for 2, with a stand-up triple and two RBIs.
North Hawaii dominated the basepaths, with nearly every player in the lineup recording a stolen base.
Cruz Alani-Horan scored the only run for Ka'u, getting on base with a single and stealing his way to home plate.
"I'm proud of our kids," Ka'u head coach Rory Koi said. "This is our first year and it has been a great experience for them."
Koi acknowledged his team's growing pains, but assured they will be back Saturday with an optimistic outlook.
"The double-elimination is nice because the kids get to play more ball," Koi said. "That's what it is all about. The kids just want to get out there and play. We are only going to get better."

Krista Van Dolzer is a stay-at-home mom by day and a children's author by naptime. If someone had told her back in high school that she'd get a degree in math or English, she would have guessed English, no question, so of course she holds degrees in Mathematics Education and Economics from Brigham Young University. She lives with her husband and three kids in Mesquite, Nevada, and enjoys watching college football and researching her ancestors. She is the author of a forthcoming-but-as-yet-untitled debut (G.P. Putnam's Sons Books for Young Readers, Winter 2015) and the forthcoming DUEL/DUET (Sourcebooks Jabberwocky, Fall 2015).
For what age audience do you write?
I write both middle grade and young adult across several genres. My debut is historical science fiction, and DUEL/DUET is contemporary. Both of those are MG, but my latest is YA contemporary, so I'm kind of all over the place:)
Henry: We would expect no less from someone who cannot decide between English and Mathematics. ☺
Tell us about your latest book.
My debut hasn't come out yet--it doesn't even have a title--but it should come out sometime toward the beginning of next year. I have a longer summary on my blog, but suffice it to say that it's about a twelve-year-old girl who, through a series of scientific shenanigans, ends up meeting and befriending a Japanese boy. Since the story is set in small-town America in the 1950s, their friendship ruffles quite a few feathers.
Henry: How about "Small-town Scientific Sausage Shenanigans" as the title? You're welcome.
What do you hope readers will get from reading that book?
That we're all different, that those differences should never be used as a reason to treat one another unkindly, and that pork links are capable of bringing people together (unless, of course, they're vegetarian).
Henry: Indeed, pork links remind us to stop the senseless violence against plant life.
What aspect of writing do you find most challenging?
Every aspect? Is that an acceptable answer? The truth is, I struggle with something new every time I sit down to write. (Lately, I've been having a tough time with line editing, but if you ask me next week, I'm sure I'll have a different answer.) I know that's kind of cliché, but it's true.
What advice would you give to aspiring authors?
Stop listening to advice. Writing is such a personal thing, and the only person who can teach you how to write is you. You have to read, of course--in fact, I daresay you have to read more than you write, at least at first--but aside from that, you just have to stick your butt in that chair and figure things out for yourself.

Offense Struggles as Warriors Lose to Benedictine
Sterling, Kan. – At Smisor Stadium on Saturday night, the Sterling College Warrior defense would force six interceptions by the Benedictine College Ravens, but would not be able to put together any offensive drives. BC's two scoring drives would be enough to give the Ravens a 14-0 win over SC.
Six separate Warriors would pick off BC quarterback Bill Noonan. Mike Talton, Brian Noller, Sean Metsdagh, Cory Dunbar, Tate Arnold, and Andrew Fajardo would all have a pick in the game.
The Sterling defense would hold Benedictine to under 270 yards of total offense, but would allow BC running back Kevon McGrew to have a good game running the ball. McGrew would take 26 carries for 137 yards and a touchdown. SC would have better luck defending the pass as Noonan would only complete four more passes than interception for a total of 10 completions for 128 yards.
Offensively, Sterling would have no success. The Warriors would manage only four first downs and 76 yards of total offense. Chris Joly would account for much of SC's offense, leading the Warriors with 28 rushing yards and completing seven passes for 33 yards.
On special teams, Josh Wheeler would accrue 322 punting yards, pinning BC inside the twenty twice. Doug Dunn would have one field goal attempt from 42 yards which was blocked.
Benedictine would score in both the first and second quarter. The first quarter score was off of a 23 yard rush by McGrew. Noonan would then complete a 29 yard pass to Geoff Akpom for the second touchdown in the second quarter giving BC a 14-0 halftime lead.
The second half would be a defensive struggle with the teams trading field position. Sterling would be unable to put a late comeback together and would lose by the score of 14-0.
With the loss, SC drops to 0-2 in non-conference play this year. Sterling will open up the KCAC schedule next week when Tabor College comes to Smisor Stadium to take on the Warriors with a 6:00 PM kick-off. Watch the game live on the Sterling College Sports Network.

Oven damaged during June 12 storm may soon be repaired and I will be able to bake again. Meanwhile as we get ready for rain that may last for five days. The obvious meal for My Wife and I was a large pot of Vegetable Chicken noodle soup.
I created classic homemade Chicken noodle soup, with large dice Chicken, Onion, Celery, Carrots and large Egg noodles.
Looking at the pot I wanted more so out of the fridge came Eggplant that I peeled and diced large. From the back of the fridge came a mason jar of pureed Okra, Onion and Tomatoes. I used the puree to thicken a broth soup that needed more umph!. My Wife added crackers, I was satisfied making the soup thicker with the Okra puree.
We will continue to watch the flood waters rise and be happy are tummys are full and satisfied. As the week progresses I will add other veggies to keep the soup pot bottomless. I will likely even introduce Bologna or P-nut butter and jelly sandwiches as the flood waters rise.
Will Conroe's Farmers market be open ? I am sure it will be. Elvis from Pea's Farm and Chef Michael have been there during other torrential down pours. The rain is supposed to last for five straight days, till next week Tuesday. Stay dry readers, unless you are from the Southeastern states. Get your Pot of Soup started and share your best creation.

Could the crumbling East Gros Ventre Butte in Jackson, Wyoming be connected to the recent uptick of seismic activity at Yellowstone supervolcano? Jackson, Wyoming is less than 60 miles from Yellowstone. More signs of Earth's increasing instability?
- Be sure to click LIKE and SUBSCRIBE for updates
In April, dozens of Jackson residents were evacuated due to visible cracks appearing in the butte and threatening nearby structures, including a Walgreens. Ground movement in the area also caused water pipes to break at the town's pump station next to Walgreens. A road and the Walgreen's parking lot have distorted and buckled.
Anybody want to buy a Walgreen's real cheap? According to a real estate agent, Walgreens property was under contract to be sold. The parcel was listed last year for $13 million with Walgreens lease included. Good luck with that price!
Earth movement in Jackson caused land under homes and a road to crack and slide. Geological activity on the butte has been tracked since December, when wire netting was installed on the eroding area, but in April, ground movement increased, beginning with a water line break and visible cracks in the hillside above Walgreens.
Geologists say the earth movement on East Gros Ventre Butte is deeper and more dangerous than previously believed. The fissures on the butte are "only one of a series of developments" that suggest subterranean movement. The ground had been moving at a rate of an inch a day, and the creeping landslide split one house in half.
A crack appeared in the wall of the Sidewinders parking deck and three of the supporting beams are leaning at a crooked angle. Additionally, the upper and lower parking areas of Sidewinders have begun to show stress and cracks. On Budge Drive, pavement has been pushed up so much in places that the edge of the road is raised above the curb. A huge crack that opened under a house shifted several feet downhill in less than a day, breaking off a room or two and leaving a door swinging above the precipice.
Councilman Jim Stanford toured one of the damaged houses, saying it is 'trashed' inside. The living room is sloped downhill, wooden floor planks in the kitchen are coming apart, and cabinets are coming off the wall.
Some evacuated residents were allowed to enter the evacuation area on foot to retrieve belongings, but were advised that they entered at their own risk. After a week of slow movement, the hillside above Walgreens began crumbling, creating a spectacle that drew hundreds of onlookers along West Broadway. (See VIDEO.)
Has anyone noticed that evacuations for a myriad of reasons (forest fires, floods, landslides, earthquakes, explosions, and the like) happen daily and are now part of the new normal for Planet Earth?
Regardless of where you live, it's probably best to prepare as best you can for ongoing catastrophes of this type. A lot more are on the way.
These are the times in which we live.

According to news reports today, March 25, the White House is preparing an overhaul of the National Security Agency's (NSA) data collection.
CBS news said, it confirmed that the White House wants "NSA to stop collecting and holding millions of Americans phone records, and instead the data would stay in the hands of phone companies up to 18 months." Adding, NSA would require a "judge's permission to obtain information, and will need to be approved by Congress."
However, until any up-dates are solidified Obama has apparently extended the collection program for 3 more months.
While it has been reported their program uses multiple platforms to create personal profiles, the overhaul does not cover their entire data collection program. This has been confirmed by the blog 'Techspot', which stated NSA will still have permission and "power to collect web data in bulk." While sponsors of the bill also confirmed this, and also believe this as a way to satisfy citizen's worries about the abuse with such collections, while still allowing the NSA data collection program.
In an article written by Ellen Nakashima, Rep. Mike Rogers (R-Mich.) told her, this new bill will, "... heed the legitimate concerns of many that the collection of bulk telephone metadata has a potential for abuse."
Others question the proposal, and wonder if the overhaul for just phone data collection goes far enough.
Rep. F. James Sensenbrenner (R-Wis.) believes Rogers-Ruupersberger bill will continue "bulk collection," and doesn't go far enough since NSA uses other areas to collect bulk information.
Is this a good start, or do you think the bill should include all of NSA data collection?
Edward Snowden, a former NSA contractor, and known whistleblower on NSA's surveillance program said, this is defiantly a step in the right direction, according to a press release today March 25, published on the American Civil Liberties Union.
I believed that if the NSA's unconstitutional mass surveillance of Americans was known, it would not survive the scrutiny of the courts, the Congress, and the people.
"The very first open and adversarial court to ever judge these programs has now declared them 'Orwellian' and 'likely unconstitutional.' In the USA FREEDOM Act, Congress is considering historic, albeit incomplete reforms. And President Obama has now confirmed that these mass surveillance programs, kept secret from the public and defended out of reflex rather than reason, are in fact unnecessary and should be ended.
"This is a turning point, and it marks the beginning of a new effort to reclaim our rights from the NSA and restore the public's seat at the table of government."

Stand and deliver
Edward James Olmos comes to Oxnard, speaking on issues of Latino youth
By Chris O'Neal 01/23/2014
After breaking out in both the stage and film version of the 1979 drama Zoot Suit, Edward James Olmos starred in a spate of films that would later become cult classics. As Detective Gaff in Blade Runner, Jaime Escalante in Stand and Deliver and, possibly his most recognized modern role as William Adama in the reboot of the sci-fi television series Battlestar Galactica, Olmos has used his success to give back to his community by traveling the world to engage youth in becoming more involved in their Latino heritage. Olmos will be speaking as part of the Latino Thought Maker Series at Oxnard Community College on Saturday, Jan. 25.
VC Reporter: You've recently said that Latinos have a long way to go in Hollywood. What do you mean by that?
Edward James Olmos: That no matter what our population size, no matter what our demographics, the storytelling process seen through the eye of diversity is nonexistent. We are getting into a point where now we have a black and white cultural dynamic, but that's it. The Asian, the indigenous and the Hispanic do not get their stories told. Maybe once every 18 months to two years, one movie will come out told through the eyes of an Asian or Latino, but it doesn't make any sense to me. The African stories are coming; they hold about 17 percent of the images on screen and they're 12 percent of the population. We're over 18 percent of the population and we have less than 4 percent.
What needs to happen for that to change?
We need to take stories like Argo and make sure that people know that Tony Mendez is a Mexican American and not Ben Affleck. It's sad, it's so sad. Nobody even knew that it was a Mexican American that did that, and they said it didn't matter because Tony Mendez doesn't really consider himself to be a Latino. But you know what? The guy is a Latino, it doesn't matter how he feels. Show me a guy who is struggling not to be Latino in the world that he lives in and make that a part of the story. That would have made it a deeper, better story.
You're involved with Latino Literacy Now and a multitude of advocacy programs. What makes them successful?
We're working so hard on bringing a sense of self-esteem and self-worth to the Latino community and that's it. With that, everybody can make their own choices because they have self-respect. When you lack those ingredients, that's when things don't work out right or feel right and people can't aspire to dream. So we really try to infuse that into the populace and you do it by setting examples. The adults have to become as acquainted with the authorship that's going on around them and therefore the kids will follow the parents to the book festivals, the Latino film festivals. Now, it's just a forum to say thank you to all the people who are working and there is a tremendous amount of participation.
What do you think is the most important part of getting Latino youth to become involved in their community, themselves and academics?
I think the key right now is self-esteem, self-respect and self-worth. We have to infuse it by the second grade, so that if a child is reading up to a third grade level in second grade then they'll be fine. It would be nice if the kid was reading about himself, not just about European-based cultures in this country. The disproportionate educational system just on the norm is quite interesting, because about 96 [percent] to 97 percent of history that we read is European-based. It's disproportionate to the way our country is situated, especially today.
What can Latinos do to become better understood within their communities?
I don't think that there's anything that attacks the senses more than the art forms. Whether a book, poetry, dance, music, movie or theater, that really shows culture to the highest level. It's the soul of the artist, the soul of the culture. I consider art to be the backbone of the human body. The messages come from the brain and they go to all the body through the backbone. Art needs to be stable and to be better understood. Once we do that, there'll be a better balance and understanding. That's why this whole thing that's being done in Oxnard by the college is fantastic. That they're bringing me in and that we're going to sit around and laugh and talk and probably cry and they'll ask me things and I'll tell stories that'll make people think and they'll leave thinking, "Wow, that was an interesting two hours. I'm glad I came to see that." That to me is art at its highest level.
I wanted to ask specifically about how you got involved with Battlestar Galactica – one of the things that you said before becoming involved was that you'd only be involved if the stories were more realistic.
I just wanted to be able to bring the storytelling and integrity of Blade Runner. Blade Runner was a very character-driven piece of work that dealt with the future. It took place in 2019, and now we're five years away. We don't have flying cars as the norm and we don't have Replicants — yet — but we're getting pretty close to it.
Do you think getting a message across through sci-fi might be easier for an audience to accept?
You can find stories that make people think about things that are relevant, it's just a matter of being allowed to tell those stories, which usually come by way of how much money can they make by investing. It's all about the dollar. It's a business.
Edward James Olmos will speak as part of the Latino Thought Maker Series on Saturday, Jan. 25 at 6 p.m. at the Oxnard College Performing Arts Center Auditorium, 4000 S. Rose Ave., Oxnard. Free admission; $2 parking. For more information, visit www.vcccd.edu.

At what point and after how many generations of living in the US do we let the ethnicity thing slide out the back door and we start concentrating on being good Americans? We are about blending and embracing what our country represents and eventually speaking English as our primary language, not hanging onto languages and quant customs that came with the first generation. I can't tell you how disappointed I am when I go to a Dodger game and I hear mariachi music coming over the loud speakers; it's a noble effort to reach out to a new demographic but what's next ... songs and music from every other country that is represented by everyone sitting in the bleachers? And for the record I'm a Hispanic of Mexican heritage, but please don't try and paint me as anything other than a proud American … the vowels in my last name notwithstanding.

China Discovers the Problem of Being Rich
Just because you lend somebody money, doesn't mean you're going to be paid back. It's a lesson the Chinese may yet learn.
China's unrelenting export engine has left it with enormous piles of foreign assets. Much of this has taken the form of foreign exchange reserves and because China's main trading partner is the U.S., these reserves have largely taken the form of U.S. government and quasi-government instruments: Treasury bills, bonds and paper issued by government-backed agencies.
But China is starting to realize that it has traded actual physical goods that are useful for something for bits of paper.
China now has well over a trillion dollars worth officially and a lot more unofficially.
Brad Setser, writing for the Council on Foreign Relations, estimated that China's holding of U.S. assets was around $1.5 trillion back in May 2009 once holdings by Chinese government enterprises and quasi-governmental firms are consolidated with those owned directly by the government.
Given that China's Treasury bond holdings have increased by around $400 billion since Mr. Setser wrote, the total could well be approaching $2 trillion.
And the Federal Reserve has been making every effort possible to drive down the value of that paper through currency depreciation and future inflation (they aren't quite the same thing but one usually leads to the other).
Little wonder China has been trying to diversify by buying physical assets.
Its warehouses and tank farms are stuffed with commodities, not least copper and cotton and oil.
And China has also been buying property outside of the U.S. as well.
It has invested heavily in African mines and in physical assets like the port of Piraeus in Athens.
Indeed, China has been a big buyer of assets across the European Union's periphery, particularly among the beleaguered euro-zone countries.
In theory, these should be much more secure than American bits of paper.
Just as governments which control their own currencies can default on their obligations by printing money, governments with control of their own tax affairs can confiscate assets without reverting to crude nationalization. It's called taxation.
The temptation for governments to tax away China's accumulated wealth will be great as long as they feel China has little recourse.
But maybe that's why China is building up its navy so rapidly. Because it knows it will eventually have to protect its commercial interests with more than lawyers and international tribunals.

eToro Review
I have been trading in FX for most of the last decade. In that time I have seen many traders come and go, and also gained a lot of experience.
One of the key things that I have learned is that you can succeed in Forex if you have 2 things.
The first is a good trading strategy, that you stick to with discipline. The second is an excellent broker.
The reason that I have written this eToro review, is to help traders make a proper decision as to whether eToro is an excellent broker and whether it will be right for them.
There are 5 key areas that need to be looked at when choosing a broker and they are how I have structured this eToro review
1. Low Minimum Account Opening and Trading Amounts.
eToro offer traders the opportunity to trade their practice accounts for free. This is very important if you are new to Forex, or you would like to develop confidence and new trading strategies.
Traders can start trading live with just $50 and progress up from there.
2. Low spreads.
This means effectively, how much it will cost to trade. If you are trading frequently the spread will soon start adding up, which is why it needs to be as low as possible.
With eToro the spread goes down to just 2 pips on the EUR/USD pair, which is extremely good.
3.Instant Execution Of Orders.
This is vitally important some Brokers will re-quote meaning that you cannot get into or out of trades at the price you request, especially during fast moving markets.
This is often a consequence of liquidity, because many brokers don't have enough trading volume to ensure they can always buy at every price. However, eToro is one of the largest online brokers. This means that the liquidity they can give is very reliable. They also use a high quality, usable platform to back it up.
4.The Opportunity for Good Education and Training.
eToro has a great training program with tutorials and training guides. It's very easy to develop a full understanding of the technical and fundamental aspects that affect the prices of currency.
Also in July eToro started 'OpenBook', which is essentially a social trading network. It means traders can follow the trades or exerts and other traders in the network in real time, as they happen.
It's a brilliant idea, and there is nothing else currently like it in the industry. Traders can use the professional charting and graphing tools, or up to the second financial news and data to develop strategies, in conjunction with communicating and watching other experienced traders through the OpenBook network. Traders can either develop their knowledge of the marketplace and systems and strategies in conjunction with other traders in the network, or actually follow and copy traders based on their trading background and success. Read more about openBook here
The platform they use is also designed to be very intuitive. It's easy to get to grips with for newcomers with video walk throughs, and it's also set up to make it fun and fool proof. In fact eToro actually won the World Finance Award for the 'Most Innovative Trading Platform 2010'.
For those with more experience, there is the expert mode which has the same level of functionality but without the 'game' aspect.
5. Leverage
Another key area and this eToro review wouldn't be complete without it. However, Traders should be careful with leverage, as it means you are trading with borrowed money and losses or gains are very much exaggerated. At eToro the leverage starts at 5:1 and goes up to 400:1.
You can also trade at eToro all day everyday 24/7, with the customer service team available at all times for problems and issues.
Money can be deposited by card, wire or with paypal and withdrawals are hassle free.
They have worked hard to create a real community feeling for all traders from novice to professional.
There is a big 'regular' forum in addition to OpenBook to bounce ideas off or share other trading experiences, as well as trading competitions and also a private call function for advice from their expert traders.
On the negative side you have to download the software platform to trade, sometimes a web based platform can be more convenient.
However, this is a minor point and overall I am very happy to trade with eToro and recommend them as a broker.

For both the Dublin and the London premieres, a hair and makeup stylist came to my room to make me look my prettiest before the red carpet. Even though I rarely do the carpet with The Gorilla, I still want to look nice.
Whenever I get myself groomed, I always ask a ton of questions. Since we're all tasked with getting ready by ourselves every day, I love hearing what the pros do. If you pick up just one tip every time you get your hair or makeup or nails done, think how much you'll know!
Here's the most interesting tidbits I took away from the lovely Irish and British women:
- Mix your primer with your foundation. Instead of putting on one layer of primer, then applying foundation over it, she mixed the primer in with the liquid Clarins foundation right there on her hand before she applied it to my face using a foundation brush and sponge. At the end of the night (and it was a long night), my makeup still looked great.
- When using a light-reflecting concealer (such as YSL Touche Eclat, which I've owned but never loved) only dab it on the dark parts, not all over the eye. Otherwise, because of it's reflecting pigment, you're just changing the color of the overall eye area, but there are still dark and light parts. If you only apply on the dark areas, you'll be happier with the results.
- One of them used lipstick for blush. I'd heard of this in the magazines, but couldn't really imagine doing it. She thought that a) this leaves less you have to carry with you when traveling and b) if you use the same color on your lips it can be really flattering. I will say that she had a very light hand and blend, blend, blended it. I can see how this will work in a pinch, but for my money it's faster and easier just to use traditional blush.
- The other artist didn't even use blush. She shaded the apples of my sheeks with darker, sort or bronze-y foundation. She said that as long as you use a shade or two darker foundation on your cheeks and above, while keeping a light foundation for everything under, you get the same effect as blush but it looks more natural that a pink flush. She was right, and I feel like the shading made my round face look more angular than blush does.
- Both of them made me less afraid of eyeliner! I admit it, I'm a total scared-y cat when it comes to eyeliner. I'm scared to do it, then when I do I think it looks weird. I never, ever wear eyeliner underneath my eyes because I always see it smudging terribly on other people and I also think it can look a little…harsh. But for both nights, when I looked in the mirror or at the pictures I thought the eyeliner looked pretty. It was not my normal look. Even The Gorilla was digging the cat eyes in Dublin and made numerous remarks about how different it made me look. (We're going with the assumption that it was a good thing, because I don't entertain anything else.)
Now, the eyeliner did smudge a bit in London, but not much. And it didn't smudge hardly at all in Dublin. I didn't get the exact trick why, but I noticed that their line - made with a dull lip pencil or with eye shadow and a small brush - were both significantly thicker than I would have made them. On the occasions that I've tried, I always did a skinny type line (going for emphasis and because I didn't want my eyes to look small) but the opposite is actually true. When the line is just a little thicker, the errors aren't so noticeable. This is all, of course, talking about a night eye. I still don't see myself using loads of eyeliner for the daytime. To me, that just says, "Who's hitting happy hour?"
So, after these two nights, I'm definitely going to try the primer/foundation trick and force myself to be less afraid of eyeliner. What have you been doing with your makeup lately? Share your latest makeup thoughts in the comments.

UCLA Game Notes | Oklahoma Game Notes
Wednesday, Nov. 14
7:05 p.m. (CT)/5:05 p.m. (PT) - UCLA at No. 11 Oklahoma
Online Coverage:
Gametracker | Audio
Talent: Dave Marcus, play-by-play
FS West and FCS Central
Talent: Bob Carpenter, play-by-play and Billy Tubbs, analyst
The UCLA Bruins hit the road for the first of only two true non-conference road games of the 2012-13 season this week when they travel to Norman, Okla., to face the 11th-ranked Oklahoma Sooners on Nov. 14, 2012.
UCLA also faces Texas at a neutral site (Reliant Stadium in Houston) on Dec. 8, 2012. The Bruins also travel to Queens, N.Y. for the St. John's Chartwells Holiday Classic (Dec. 15-16) where they will face Saint Mary's on Dec. 15 at Carnesecca Arena. The only other true non-conference road trip is an excursion to Pepperdine (Dec. 28).
UCLA will face Oklahoma for just the fourth time in program history. The Bruins won the first-ever meeting with the Sooners with an 82-63 win in Los Angeles on Jan. 8, 1982. But the Sooners have won the last two meetings. The only previous meeting in Norman, Okla., was won by the Sooners, 83-78, on Dec. 5, 2005. Oklahoma also won the last meeting in the series, a 77-68 win on Nov. 21, 2006, in Pauley Pavilion.
The Oklahoma/UCLA game will be televised live on FCS Central. UCLA fans wishing to see the game can find FCS Central on channel 301 on Verizon FIOS, channel 623 on DirecTV, channel 648 on AT&T U-verse and on channel 259 on Time Warner Cable (but you have to have the TWC Sports Pass). The game has also been picked up by FS West and will be televised live on FS West as well. For other information on the availability of FCS Central, please contact your local provider.
Senior forward Alyssia Brewer should have some fans at the game with No. 11 Oklahoma as she is from Tulsa, Okla. She graduated from Sapulpa High School in Sapulpa, Okla., which is about 111 miles from Norman, Okla.
This is the second straight year that UCLA has opened up its road slate at a Big 12 Conference member institution. Last year, the 22nd-ranked Bruins fell 83-50 at top-ranked Baylor in the semifinals of the Preseason WNIT on Nov. 17, 2011.
The UCLA women's basketball team opened the 2012-13 season with a 66-52 win over San Diego State on Nov. 10, in the first women's sporting event in New Pauley Pavilion.
Seniors Markel Walker and Alyssia Brewer each scored in double figures with 15 and 12 points, respectively, in the season opener for both teams. Freshman Kari Korver had 11 points off the bench, including three 3-pointers for the Bruins (1-0), who now lead the series between the schools, 22-6.
The Bruins struggled in the first half, shooting just 26.9 percent (7-for-26), but held the Aztecs to 19.4 percent (18-for-64). UCLA responded to shoot 50.0 percent (18-for-36) from the field in the second half while holding SDSU to 36.4 percent (12-for-33).
A night after the 13th-ranked UCLA men's team played the first game in the renovated arena, the women's team took its turn. Former UCLA stars Denise Curry and Ann Meyers Drysdale were on hand as part of a celebration marking the 40th anniversary of Title IX, along with former coach Billie Moore, who led UCLA's women to the AIAW national championship in 1978.
Nan Wooden, the daughter of the late Coach John R. Wooden, and former Olympic decathlon champion, Rafer Johnson, were on the bench as UCLA honorary coaches.
UCLA's veterans took over late in the second half, keying a 19-4 run that put the game out of reach and extended UCLA's lead to 58-41 with 3:58 remaining (was 39-37 with 12:07 to go). Kacy Swain scored five points, and Atonye Nyingifa, Jasmine Dixon and Markel Walker each scored four points during the run.
UCLA's program has welcomed four newcomers for the 2012-13 season - three freshmen and one redshirt senior forward, Alyssia Brewer, who sat out the 2011-12 season after transferring from Tennessee. ESPN.com has ranked UCLA's incoming class as the nation's No. 12 recruiting class (featuring true freshmen Kari Korver, Lauren Holiday and Nirra Fields).
The Bruins return four starters from its 2011-12 team, but really has six players returning this year with starting credentials. Senior guard/forward Markel Walker (14.9 ppg. 11.0 rpg) started in 19 of 23 games last year. Redshirt junior forward Atonye Nyingifa (14.7 ppg, 8.9 rpg) started the first nine games last year before a knee injury sidelined her for the rest of the season. Junior guard Thea Lemberger (12.0 ppg, 2.3 rpg) started in 29 of 30 games a year ago. Senior guard Mariah Williams (4.6 ppg, 2.1 rpg) started in 28 of 30 games last year. Junior guard/forward Rhema Gardner (3.6 ppg and 4.5 rpg) started in 20 of 30 games last year. The sixth Bruin, redshirt senior forward, Jasmine Dixon, a 2010-11 honorable mention AP All-American, sat out the 2011-12 season after rupturing her Achilles tendon in a team workout in September of 2011.
In all, the Bruins will play seven different teams that made the NCAA Tournament a year ago and another seven squads that were selected for the NIT field. Additionally, UCLA could face another NCAA and a NIT squad in the St. John's Tournament field. The non-conference slate is one of the toughest in school history and rivals that of any school in 2012-13. The Bruins open the season with four straight NCAA Tournament teams, which started with the Aztecs in the season-opener. Then the Bruins head to Norman, Okla. for a road test at Oklahoma (Nov. 14), which lost in the second round of the NCAA Tournament last year. The Bruins then return home to host Notre Dame on Nov. 23. The Fighting Irish lost to Baylor in the 2012 NCAA Championship game. Two days later, the Bruins are back on the hardwood hosting another NCAA Tournament team, Princeton (Nov. 25). After a non-conference game with a local foe, Loyola Marymount (Dec. 2), the Bruins will travel to Houston's Reliant Stadium with the men's team for a double-header against Texas. The Longhorns also made the NCAA Tournament last year. Then the Bruins travel to New York to compete in their only regular-season tournament (St. John's Chartwells Holiday Classic), hosted by St. John's on Dec. 15-16, which lost in the NCAA Regional Semifinals. The Bruins open the tournament with Saint Mary's, which made the NIT in 2012. The Bruins conclude their nonconference slate by hosting a pair of NIT teams from last year in Cal State Northridge (Dec. 20) and St. Joseph's (Dec. 31). Sandwiched between those two games is a local trip to Pepperdine (Dec. 28), before starting Pac-12 Conference play.

May 19, 2011
PALO ALTO, Calif. - Fresno State's junior pitcher and first baseman Michelle Moses earned her second career National Fastpitch Coaches Association second-team All-West Region honor, the NFCA announced Thursday morning.
Moses (Paso Robles, Calif.) also earned second-team All-West Region recognition as a sophomore in 2010.
Moses, a first-team 2011 All-Western Athletic Conference honoree and six-time WAC Hitter or Pitcher of the Week, batted .273 in regular season play with a team-high 28 runs, 12 home runs, 38 RBI, 84 total bases, .604 slugging percentage to go along with six doubles, two triples and 12 walks.
During the 2011 season, she recorded the program's first cycle in school history on Opening Day and hit her third career grand slam at Utah State on April 22.
Moses also shined in front of a national audience on ESPNU when she tossed her first career no-hitter against then-No. 20/25 Hawaii while striking out 11.
She became the second Bulldog to hit 40 or more career home runs this season as well as becoming the sixth WAC player in conference history to have totaled 40 or more career long balls (41).
In the circle, Moses earned four victories over Top 25 Teams (Missouri, Oklahoma State and Hawai'i -twice) to help power Fresno State to an unprecedented 30th NCAA Tournament appearance.
The Bulldogs - who remain the nation's only program to qualify for all 30 NCAA Tournaments - open Stanford Regional action on Friday at 3 p.m. against No. 16/20 Nebraska in Palo Alto, Calif.
"We Are You Team!" - Fresno State will head to its NCAA record 30th postseason tournament May 20-22 for the Stanford Regional. You can always stay connected with Fresno State Athletics on Facebook and Twitter (@FSAthletics).

Something's In the Garden
The wind howls before the dawn
Something's in the garden
Look out, see what's going on
Oh, the winds they blow
In a shroud of secrecy
Something's in the garden
A suicide technology
Oh, it's got to go
The corporate biotech machine
Something's in the garden
Unveils the Terminator gene
Oh, the winds they blow
Inserting a genetic crime
Something's in the garden
Sterile seed at harvest time
Oh, it's got to go
The winds they blow across the fields of every nation
Our seed we been sowing for a hundred generations
Till it's banned in every land we'll fight the Terminator
Oh, no it's got to go!
The desperate poor are locked in the sights…
Of its almighty appetites…
Wearing a boy scout disguise…
To hijack the global food supply…
The winds they blow…
Peasant farmers stand betrayed
Wisdom stolen, debt unpaid
Protect the right to save our seed
For justice and food sovereignty
The winds they blow…

So I'm telling everyone I see that I won the challenge today in the Biggest Loser game for Wii. Well, there's more to it.
See, last night I had trouble getting to sleep because I was annoyed about work stuff. And then around 2am, some joker peels out in his car somewhere nearby, squealing his tires. Woke me up, I was halfway across the room before I even realized what was happening. I walked around, trying to figure out what the source of the noise was (I didn't realize it was tires until this evening when DH told me). And of course I had trouble getting back to sleep again. Ugh.
So this morning I was really dragging, getting the kids ready at 6:30am. *sigh* I wanted to go back to bed, have a nice nap, and then get up and do my workout later. But I didn't. Instead, I checked SP, chatted with DH, and did my workout. After that I ate breakfast and then jumped in the shower. A very leisurely start to the day, but no nap.
So the workout was actually a 'challenge' like you see on the show. To me it felt a little like interval training--give your all, rest, give your all, rest, again and again. I think it was six times, actually. It took me four rounds to figure out what the game *really* wanted me to do as far as movement was concerned, but once I had it figured out, I did really well. As I type this my calves are stiffening up and my hips are too, getting ready to be sore tomorrow. :)
But right up until about 8:30pm I've been feeling really good today. On a high, I guess, from exercising. I did one or two chores, went to the mall and tried on some clothes (no purchases today), then went grocery shopping. Back to get DH and the kids and we went out to dinner, then shopping again for pumpkins.
Dinner was yummy, there's a wonderful place nearby that does Thai, Japanese, and other asian cuisines. I had a lovely Pho soup with chicken, the kids had chicken satay and a vegetable stir fry, and DH had a Pad Kra Pow after starting with some sushi. This place also serves some little banana coins fried in spring roll wrappers, drizzled with honey and sesame seeds for dessert. Those are yummy but of course too many would not be good. I stuffed myself silly on broth, vegetables, and some noodles and chicken of course. I have no very great notion of how much I ate (I brought half the noodles home, I think), but I'm willing to accept what other SPers have logged for Chicken Pho.
Now, I am both rambling and drooping. I think I might sleep well tonight.
Wonder if I'll be able to walk tomorrow. :)

My lunch looks rather small this week, but I assure you it is not. I've been eating salads frequently, but lately I just want meatballs. Meatballs are one of my favorite foods, especially when I make them myself. I make them exactly to my liking. My main dish is meatballs and tricolor quinoa pasta. This lunch will be a lot heartier than my lunches in the past few weeks and that is why I went light on the snacks.
Besides meatballs, I currently just want chocolate at all times. Chocolate and meatballs, there you have it, I'm easy to please. The Kind Bar is Dark Chocolate Cherry Cashew and just in case that doesn't satisfy my tastebuds (and it won't) I will also have a 1-2 squares of Dove Dark Chocolate. A couple squares is all the fix I need. I find that if I give my body what it wants I end up eating A LOT less, and so I do.
I also have hard boiled eggs for a snack because in the afternoon fruit hasn't been holding me over, I'm assuming it is because I have taken away the protein shake in the morning and my eating scheduled has naturally shifted. So it's just a little bit of protein to tie me over. I also have cherries again. They were on sale and cherries are something I just love about summertime, especially Ranier cherries.
The meatball recipe is below… let me know what is in your lunchbox this week!
- 2 lbs ground turkey breast
- 1 cup breadcrumbs (whole wheat or gluten-free)
- 1 cup chopped onion
- ½ cup chopped green pepper
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 eggs, slightly beaten
- 2 tbsp of Italian seasoning
- 1-16 oz jar favorite spaghetti sauce
- Mix the ground turkey, breadcrumbs, onion, pepper, garlic, eggs and seasoning together by hand until combined evenly.
- Using an ice cream scoop or quarter cup, measure out mixture and form a ball in the palm of your hands.
- Line the bottom of a slow cooker with a layer of sauce and place the meatballs on top. Once the layer is full, pour more sauce on top and continue this process until all the meatballs are in the slow cooker.
- Cook on high for 4 hours or until the meatballs are cooked evenly throughout.

Jackets To Hang, Hats To Fit & More
hats to measureDear Mr. Rovny,
I'm a thirty-something fellow with a larger than average head. I used to wear mostly baseball caps but I'm looking to diverge to dressier styled hats. That said, is there a rule of thumb when it comes to choosing a hat that fits?
Chicago, IL
As a rule of thumb, if you can stick a whole finger under the brim of the hat, it's too big. Obviously, the hat shouldn't leave a red stripe around your forehead either. Find something in between.
Finally, in terms of selecting a style, I must say you've taken another big step into manhood. Baseball caps are for boys; inspired you. Keep in mind that prevention is always the best solution, but now that you have ingrown hair, here's how you can get rid of it.
At its early stage, an ingrown hair will appear as a little white bump. Whatever you do, do not try shaving it off; you'll end up ripping off your skin and cause it to scar. Instead, disinfect the area with rubbing alcohol and use a sanitized pair of tweezers to straighten out the hair follicle.
A reddish bump is a sign that a hair is trapped under your skin and that the area is irritated. In that case, don't "dig" for it with tweezers forcefully or too abruptly. Instead, gently squeeze the surface. It should be enough to remove the hair and pus from your skin. If the hair remains attached to the follicle, clean the area and use tweezers or a razor to shave it off.
Finally, once the ingrown hair is properly treated, remember to apply some cold water and after-shave or moisturizer (preferably with aloe or vitamin E) to help close your pores and heal your skin.

TUCSON-- A pair of current Arizona women's basketball players have been cited for 2000 Mary Roby Academic Achievement Awards.
The achievement awards are an integral part of the UA's intercollegiate athletics program and were first established in 1977 as the Golden Eagle Awards, founded by the late William M. Clements. The award was renamed in honor of the UA's first women director of athletics, Dr. Mary Pavlich Roby, in 1992.
The award is presented to student-athletes who maintain a 3.0 or greater grade point average for consecutive spring and fall semesters, or to first-year students who achieve the mark in their initial semester.
The women's basketball players (and their majors) who earned the honor this are:
Elizabeth Pickney, junior, forward, nursing, Houston, Texas
Krista Warren, sophomore, wing, journalism, Cloverdale, Calif.

Can mental illnesses such as clinical depression or OCD trigger the onset of RA?
It is doubtful that mental illnesses trigger RA. No one knows what triggers RA, and many researchers have tried to tie viral infections or smoking as predisposing factors in RA. However, no one has definitively determined the cause of RA.

Don't get me wrong, I like what's there, but I think there should be a little more to it. Roses in containers made of porcelain filled with water to display them but also to make sure they don't die (WHY IS THIS A CENSORED WORD GUYS, SERIOUSLY??) , scattered roses that aren't just with the candles, heart pillows, heart-shaped things (like hot tubs, mirrors, or sinks), old love letter decor, lipstick kisses costume makeup, etc.
This feels like a small store pack rather than a full Stuff Pack. Give me something that makes me think of romance and I'll give you my money.

I have a
little shadow that goes in and out with me,
And what can be the use of him is more than I can see....
- My Shadow, Robert Louis Stevenson
Me and My Shadow
Most days, Solar Time is slightly different from Standard Time (up to 16 min. fast or 14 min. slow). This time difference is known as the Equation of Time.
Clock Wise?
Due to the geometry of equatorial sundials, the gnomon shadow is the same length for the entire day (although its length varies from day-to-day according to the annual cycle of change in the declination of the Sun).
For example, Solar Noon occurs eight minutes later in Washington, D.C. than it does on the Standard Time Meridian for the Eastern Time Zone (75°W); how many degrees of longitude separate the two locations?
8 min x 1°/4 min = 2°
Therefore, the longitude of Washington, D.C. is 77°W. Simple, huh? Well, it wasn't always so easy! Read The Illustrated Longitude, the story of clockmaker John Harrison, who solved the problem that Newton and Galileo failed to conquer--how to determine longitude at sea. See also, Lost at Sea--the Search for Longitude from PBS/NOVA Online.
Long story short, sundials must be corrected for longitude (as well as the Equation of Time) so that Solar Time reads the same as Standard Time.
- Moonshadow, Cat Stevens
The Moon, especially the Full Moon, is bright enough to cast shadows at night. So, how bright does an astronomical object have to be to cast shadows? Good question! In fact, the question may be impossible to answer, since there are so many factors involved. However it is possible to quantify the brightness or magnitude of a light source. Oddly, negative magnitudes are brighter than positive ones. The Sky & Telescope magnitude Web page lists the following magnitudes for the Sun, Moon, brightest planet, and brightest star (in the night sky):
"Night is a shadow world. The only shadows we see at night are cast by the
moonlight, or by artificial light, but night itself is a shadow."
