People-Lycos Web Watch
When Baywatch bombshell Gena Lee Nolin announced in a magazine interview that she would cybercast her baby's birth—complete with live pictures and a chat session from her hospital bed—it didn't take long for the story to sweep the Net. The news that it was an April Fools' prank, perpetrated by Nolin and The Web magazine, didn't travel so well. "When she heard about it, my mom called and said, 'Are you nuts?' " reports Nolin. "She said, 'Oh my, Hollywood has clearly gotten the best of you.' " Actually, adds Nolin, now eight months pregnant, "I think having my husband [Greg Fahlman, 36, who runs a video-duplicating company] and doctor in the room when I give birth will be just fine, thank you very much." The magazine also concocted a bogus sonogram and fake fetal heartbeat for Nolin's Web site (www.genalee.com), drawing thousands of messages from fans who overlooked the accompanying footnote admitting the hoax. Why were so many fooled? When it comes to cyber publicity stunts, nothing is shocking, says James Oliver Cury, an editor at The Web. "For a lot of folks, this wasn't stupid enough for them not to believe."
EVER WONDER WHAT THE MOST Popular sites and subjects on the World Wide Web are? This week we present the new PEOPLE-Lycos Web Watch, a monthly ranking of the Web's hottest topics as indicated by search requests on Lycos (www.lycos.com), one of the Web's busiest search sites. From March 17 to April 6, Lycos recorded nearly 300,000 inquiries about the Heaven's Gate cult. Pinups (a perennial fave among Net surfers) weren't far behind. The Top 10:
1. Heaven's Gate cult 2. Baywatcher Pamela Lee 3. comet Hale-Bopp 4. MTV's Jenny McCarthy 5. Star Wars 6. pop group the Spice Girls 7. Cindy Crawford 8. Madonna 9. Star Trek 10. Anna Nicole Smith

Success and progress always cause problems! Until fairly recently, the image of medicine was of a practitioner and patient working together in a spirit of trust and responsibility. Even with the advent of group practice, this same image persisted. Health care options, limited by a paucity of science, were simple and everyone understood the transaction. Then scientific progress quickened and the options for diagnosis and treatment exploded. Along with this began the isolation, through insurance, of both patient and physician from the economic consequences of their decisions. Following quickly was the escalation in costs of care beyond what some in society considered reasonable. Cost (really price) control was started, the intention being to reduce the volume of care given by reducing individual reimbursement: a shaky hypothesis at best.
Given this scenario, it is not surprising that physicians would look for ways to enhance the availability of all this burgeoning technology

i have made the chocolate pudding and accidentally added loads of sugar..now it is too sweet n too sticky..what can i do with it except throwing it out?
Do you have the ingredients necessary to make more? You could make a second batch, without adding sugar, and combine them.
I once ran into the same problem. I ended up making frozen pudding pops out of them. Boy were they a hit.
I just put the pudding in several ice cube trays and a few wax coated paper cups.
Pop them into the freezer.
Insert plastic spoons or popsicle sticks when it gets frozen enough to hold the spoon or stick. .
Serve with a smile, you are about to achieve 'Hero' status.
If it's stiff, it could be used to top or fill a sponge cake. Icing is sweet by design. If it isn't stiff adding more icing sugar should stiffen it enough to set.

Cast: Stephanie Sartori, Jacqueline Wild, Suzy Cat, Coralie, Mark Davis, Penelope, Sean Michaels, Erica Bella, Anita Blond

Lots of new faces is the big draw here. This show was taped during the Cannes Film Festival, as Biff Malibu's convoy chronicles various scenes with Mark Davis, Sean Michaels and seven ladies of the European community.
Keep an eye out for Anita Blond, a dead ringer for the star of Laura's Desires. There are some unusual settings, including the Paris Metro where Sean and Mark fill Coralie's tonnel, as well as two anal scenes. With its super long running time, WST, Vol. 1 offers something for everyone.

I wanted to know the basic question that a person needs to ask if someone wants his web app done?? It can be UI,platform,crux of the applications and many other things...Please post what one needs to know before starting to work on a app.
We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.
What is your budget? Make sure everyone's expectations are realistic. High quality work requires higher prices. If they aren't willing to accept that, walk away. I'm assuming your work will meet high standards. This is still an important question even if your work is sub par, but walking away is less of an option.
What is your time frame for completion? In other words, do he expect you to write Facebook for his company in a week? If so, walk away. The difference between this question and the previous question is that you should walk away regardless of the quality of your work. Unreasonable time frames always end badly. Always.
What is the purpose of the website you are asking me to build? This is, surprisingly enough, often overlooked. Small to medium size businesses often take the approach of 1) make website, 2) ????, 3) profit! Make sure they have a plan to integrate the website into their business. A static, stale website full of useless information is almost worse than no website at all.
How technical are your users? This has wide ranging implications. For example, less technical users will cause a higher IE6 market share, so you'll have to design accordingly. Older users may require larger font sizes. The list goes on. Knowing your users is very, very important. For example, Stack Overflow uses "markdown" syntax because its users are technical and can grok it.
Will your site need internationalization? This depends entirely on the company, but in markets where there are large numbers of
Are you willing to rely on my expertise? This is important, because more often than not, business owners think
Do you have any existing infrastructure I need to know about? This doesn't apply in all cases, but knowing ahead of time that you need to integrate their web application with an Active Directory environment can make a big difference in the technology you choose.
Learn their product inside and out. Not a question, but excellent advice. This will increase the quality of the overall product you are delivering (the website).
Do you have a color scheme in mind? Many times the company will have a color scheme incorporated into their logo, but if not, it would be nice to ask them if they have anything in mind. If it's not too outrageous (e.g., vomit green clashing with bright orange), try to use it as a starting point.
In response to the comments: The UI is really your dominion. Aside from basic things like color scheme preferences, you're the expert. Remember, the business owner is not a web designer and probably won't be able to tell you "I want the login form here and the date/time picker here".
The best approach is to work through some common use cases for the website. This, of course, relies on the business owner knowing what his customers will want to accomplish while using his website. This will determine both the UI flow and the core functionality of the website. Everything flows from use cases. They can be tedious to investigate and document, but the work is well worth it.
The UI and core functionality are unique to every website, so addressing them in the general case is difficult. Working through use cases is common practice in projects of all sizes and of all types, and it's a skill you will need moving forward. Sorry to give you such general advice, but it's really the soundest advice I can think of. Good luck!
There are also process questions that may be worth asking intially.
What kind of progress reports would he want to see as you work along on this project? This leads into the whole communication component that is big, IMO.
Would he like to see prototypes and offer feedback at various stages of development in an Agile fashion or is it just a big black box that you deliver when it is done?
Legal requirements, including does the application have a "Terms of Service" or "End-User License Agreement?" as well as what license is this supposed to be built using? Does he want everything built off an open source stack or is it a "just along as it works" scenario?
Scale would also be something as in what are we calling "medium" in terms of its production environment? A medium size webfarm from Amazon, Microsoft or Google would probably contain thousands of machines given the company's size while others may view having more than a handful to be medium sized.
Last but not least, nail down the requirements. This falls into the legal requirements in a sense as you build it for $x and he wants an application that does a,b, and c.
Some of these are similar to Mr. Brendel, but hopefully I added value. In no particular order:
Now, be careful. First, interview stakeholders both individually and in groups. Interview multiple times, if possible, because your first interview will possibly precipitate ideas that you'd pick up in a second interview.
It's best not to mash all of this in one interview with all stakeholders and end-users in the room at once. Divide it into two parts, at least: the "current and future business" part, and the "exact solution" part? Don't mix conversations about the business-side of the problem with the other conversation you should have on pet features, functionality, content, search engine optimization, etc. The latter will tend to obscure the former, but the former is where a good developer can really catalyze a business.
Hope this helps. Requirements gathering is pretty much an art, not a science...
Ask them to provide you some links to sites which have similar functionality or layouts. This will really speed up communications (especially the creative process) and set expectations on both ends.
This is the easiest way to establish a starting set of requirements.

I cannot see the Internal links to track as outbound in my google analytics dashboard
I have gone to categories under event tracking and all but haven't yet been able to track although lots of visitors are visiting those pages.
Why so ?
I have put /topics/asset-protection/,/topics/panama-travel/,/asset-protection/,/panama-travel/,/relocation/,/seminars/,/blog/,/faq/,/topics/relocation/,/topics/seminars/,/topics/blog/,/faq/,/contact/,/contact/,/videos/panama-relocation/,/gallery/bocas-del-toro/,/gallery/chiriqui/,/gallery/chiriqui/,/gallery/panama-city/,/gallery/san-blas/,/gallery/boquete-2/,/request-meeting/

My supervisor has given me remote access to his computer by logging in through ssh on my local computer. Although I am connected (and can view any files I wish through vi, emacs), how can I copy files to my local computer without having the password?
scp, for example, prompts for the password. From an internet search, it seems that creating public keys to bypass passwords for
scp require at least one password entry during installation. Since I am not administrator on this computer, I am prevented from installing new programs, as suggested here.

Currently I am running "Windows 7 Embedded" on a few Thin Clients (HP T5570E). I would like to store all user files running on the clients on a remote server (Not local). I have attempted using "Folder Redirection" to a remote SMB share, this is very slow. Is there an easy solution to hosting all user files/folders (Profile) online to the cloud or a remote server. I have looked into running a remote Network file system on a server and having data saved to the network drive mounted in explorer but that does not solve the issue of having all files and documents stored remotely (Documents/Desktop/Downloads).
Can someone please suggest a solution. :)
Currently I am running a remote Server 2008 windows box.

I've been running most of my PHP apps on my website on a fastcgi backend, served by NGINX. I have a new application which seems pretty well integrated with Apache; it's heavily dependent on dynamically written .htaccess files, for example. I'm working on modifying it to work natively with NGINX, but that's not yet ready. In the meantime, I was going to have NGINX proxy all connections to that path straight to Apache, and let Apache handle it.
However, I'm on a memory limited VPS, and I'd rather not run one set of PHP-CGI processes for NGINX (with their own APC cache) and another for Apache (using more memory for their APC cache). Has anyone had any luck sharing PHP between the two?
mod_ fcgid doesn't appear to support using already running servers, so I tried mod_ fastcgi. This seemed to work at first, but was sucking up quite a lot of memory (committed -- it was growing, not just static). Worse, I couldn't get the DirectoryIndex line in my apache configs to work with mod_fastcgi!
I added
AddHandler php5-fastcgi .php FastCgiExternalServer /var/www -host 127.0.0.1:9000
to my Apache config, and all .php pages are processed, but a path like http://example.com/foo/ doesn't server /foo/index.php! If I remove FastCgiExternalServer, then it does find the index.php, but of course just shows it as text.
I'm assuming it's because DirectoryIndex is processed after FastCgiExternalServer, but I have no idea how this can be changed.

Asharq al Awsat:
Saudi sources announced that 35 of the wanted suspects on the Kingdom's most wanted militants' list published last week were based in Iran, according to the Arab newspaper Asharq al Awsat.
The sources said they received intelligence that the group based in Iran is plotting attacks against Saudi and Jordanian targets. The name of Saleh al Qar'awi, whose alias is Nejm and who had strong ties with slain al Qaeda chief in Iraq Abu Mus'ab Zarqawi, appears as one of the most important suspects and is thought to be in charge of the group's activities in Iran.

Predicting the market potential of plug-in electric vehicles using multiday GPS data
GPS data for a year's worth of travel by 255 Seattle households illuminate how plug-in electric vehicles can match household needs. The results suggest that a battery-electric vehicle (BEV) with 100mi of range should meet the needs of 50% of one-vehicle households and 80% of multiple-vehicle households, when charging once a day and relying on another vehicle or mode just 4 days a year. Moreover, the average one-vehicle Seattle household uses each vehicle 23mi per day and should be able to electrify close to 80% of its miles, while meeting all its travel needs, using a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) with 40-mile all-electric range. Households owning two or more vehicles can electrify 50 to 70% of their total household miles using a PHEV40, depending on how they assign the vehicle across drivers each day. Cost comparisons between the average single-vehicle household owning a Chevrolet Cruze versus a Volt PHEV suggest that, when gas prices are $3.50 per gallon and electricity rates are at 11.2ct/kWh, the Volt will save the household $535 per year in operating costs. Similarly, the Toyota Prius PHEV will provide an annual savings of $538 per year over the Corolla.

I went to my appointment today and was told that I will be monitored closely being I am not gaining the appropriate amount of weight and because of my heart issues. I am only down 13 lbs and I am 14 weeks. I thought it was no big deal this early in pregnancy? With my duaghter I did not start gaining weight until 28 weeks (did not lose any either) and my HG with her was not nearly as bad...no one ever said a word. Have any of you been told this. I am trying to gain weight...really I am. Not sure how I managed to lose another 2 lbs. The midwife made me feel guilty... they said they would be monitoring the baby for proper growth..again I am confused since not once did they say a word to me when I failed to gain with my daughter.
Told I am high risk today...
The high risk might be mostly your heart?
I lost 11 lbs this pregnancy and I am now 28 weeks, up 3 lbs from prepregnancy. I find that an accomplishment! Although I lost 2 this past week with the stomach bug. :P I didn't start gaining back until 17-18 weeks. You'll get there!
Keep us posted on your heart!!

I, too, am sorry about your MW. Like Natalie, I'm automatically considered high risk (my first pregnancy was insulin dependent GD) by both my insurance & OBs. I wouldn't worry about the label as it really just translates into a little extra monitoring & seemingly faster responses to phone calls or requests for appointments.

HG survivor
I'm sorry they are doing guilt, but there has been a massive push with Helpher.org and many of us with severe HG to take HG as a serious disease. This push is a push that HG is a high risk.
My MFS take ANY weight loss in the 2nd or 3rd tri very seriously now.
I'm not a regular mom, I'm a cool mom.
Dorothy mom to YYMatthew JudeYY my sassy little guy!
And the joyfull YYGianna CatherineYY, the happiest baby, um, toddler!
I was labeled high risk too, but to be given grief about not gaining? Sheesh! I'm sorry to hear that.

I wasn't high risk due to HG in any of my pregnancies. I did have issues with Pre-E and GD that called for extra monitoring.
Do you feel like they mislabelled you? You have the right to refuse any testing or extra appointments that you want. I know I declined some. You have to do what you think is best for you and your baby. GL!

UGH! so sorry to hear that your midwife made you feel guilty!
I was told I was high risk, but that was just because of the HG and how severe I was. For me there were no other issues, but to be sure ob put a weight restriction on me (unable to lift anything more then 10-15lbs), and just told me to take it easy (uh - what did she think I would do...run a marathon? lol! ok, if it was up to me, I might have if I had the energy....).
The one good thing about be "high risk" is that you get more attn! More ultrasounds, sometiems even quicker response times....
I would ask your midwife about why she considers you to be high risk to put your mind at ease. And don't let them guilt you into feeling bad about not gaining weight....helo you have HG!
Another survivor! We survived HG!

Brianna Juliette | August 23, 2012 | 6lbs, 7oz | 19.5in
Well I have tachycardia (fast heart rate) and my daughter ended up being stressed at 35 weeks. I had no idea anything was wrong because they told me it was normal to faint until I went in for monitoring when she completely stopped moving. It was so scary! I am thankful everyday that she is ok. They found me to have extremely low magnesium and slightly low potassium and they said that this is what was causing my crazy heart rate. And the even crazier thing is that I was in the hospital for 14 days total with her pregnancy and the doctors werent able to improve my levels at all. So they told me it must be my kidneys excreting electrolytes. I got my levels checked while not pregnant and they were fine. Now again the levels are terrible and even worse than last time because of the HG they say. Its super frustrating. I cant even walk from my living room to kitchen without my heart rate jumping up to 160 or more and getting out of breath and having to sit down. I feel like it is fine to be labled high risk because of this. My DD was stuck during delivery due to shoulder dystocia and the midwife said that they do not want me to have to get a c-section because of my heart. So that is another reason they are going to monitor me closely. My only issue was when she then added on that I am not "gaining the appropriate amount of weight" so they would need to also watch that baby is growing properly. That just made me feel bad. Like I said I did not think that would be a big deal this early in pregnancy. If I can do anything to lower my risk of complications (because I already seem to have a ton going against me) I will. It just makes me feel like a terrible mother. This entire week I have had a headache constantly and day before yesterday it turned into a horrible migraine and I started puking everything because of it. Lost even more weight I just feel defeated. But like I said I did not have this bad of HG with my daughter and did not gain a single pound until 28 weeks. And I ended up losing about 11 lbs from pre-pregnancy weight after I delivered. I am just getting so sick of being pregnant. I literally NEVER go to the doctor when I am not pregnant. Nothing is ever wrong with me. This pregnancy has just been a nightmare. Now that the HG is letting up a bit I have the constant headache/migraine. I want to rip my hair out. I just feel like the worlds worst mom. Yesterday I took my daughter away from the park after only 10 min (thats all of the sunlight my migraine could take) and she kicked and screamed the entire way home. She is so bored at home! I just feel bad. Sorry this was long. Lots to type!

California's New Gold Rush
By KAY RENTSCHLER
Published: October 8, 2003
FROM his almond orchard on a hill in Colusa County in California, Leo LaGrande can look out onto the Sacramento Valley's most scenic and prosperous real estate. Livestock graze in pastures, and fields of watermelon and tomatoes bake in a climate that is faultlessly Mediterranean. Acres of golden grain form the primary and secondary residence for more than 140 species of aquatic waterfowl and wildlife.
Mr. LaGrande is a rice farmer. He works 16 hours a day during the September harvest, but he is not complaining. He knows he is a fortunate man.
The California rice industry is a stunning, rebellious success. From a hardscrabble start-up bolstered by government subsidies in the 1930's, it has become a $500 million industry that is second only to Thailand in exports of premium rice.
The 500,000-odd semi-arid acres in the Sacramento Valley make up a microclimate, one of three in the world, where japonica rice flourishes (the others are in Japan and Australia). This is not the swampland of traditional rice paddies, but then japonica is not traditional rice. Unlike long-grain indica, the fluffy rice that feeds most of the world, California's short- and medium-grain japonica cooks up moist and sticky. This is sushi rice extraordinaire.
California growers see their rice as a specialty, not a commodity crop. ''We are an appellation unto ourselves,'' Mr. LaGrande said.
It was not always so. Until the 1990's, California produced only small quantities of premium japonica and sold most of it to Asian communities in the United States; it also grew lower-grade japonica that was shipped to Korea. That all changed when export markets opened up and California acquired a discriminating trade partner, Japan.
The potential for business with one of the largest rice-consuming nations in the world precipitated enormous changes in the California rice industry. Farmers planted varieties of short-grain rice favored by the Japanese, like Akita Komachi and Koshihikari. They introduced gentler drying techniques to prevent cracking, and mills invested millions of dollars in new machines that milled to Japanese standards.
''We learned to evaluate rice quality by a world-class standard,'' said Tim Johnson, president of the California Rice Commission, which represents growers and marketers. ''As a result, all of our rice is better -- the rice we send to Kellogg's, the rice we send to breweries. The entire industry bumped itself up a notch.''
This rice grows in a custom setting. The Sacramento Valley has plenty of solar radiation, low humidity to thwart disease, heavy clay soil to hold water and pure-water irrigation from mountain snow runoff. But the industry leaves nothing to chance. It supervises the development of improved varieties at the Rice Experiment Station in cooperation with the University of California at Davis (no genetically modified strains are among them), and regulates environmental issues, from air and water quality to wildlife habitats.
''Rice production is considered one of the most environmentally wholesome agricultural endeavors in California,'' said Grant Lundberg, whose family has farmed in the area since 1937. ''And that's a good thing in a state whose natural resources are under close and constant scrutiny.''
California rice production now outpaces the long-established rice industry in Mississippi, Texas, Arkansas and Louisiana, according to the United States Rice Federation, a lobbying group in Washington. These states grow long-grain rice, and have done so since African slaves introduced them to it. But a shift in all markets to specialty rice imports like aromatic rices over the last several years and low yields at home because of disease have slowed down the Southern rice industry. Nevertheless, Southern brands like Uncle Ben's and Carolina continue to dominate supermarket shelves.
The zeal of California rice growers has been pushed by discriminating Asian populations in the United States as well, particularly those in California and Hawaii, which are first and second, in national per capita rice consumption, according to the Rice Federation.
Today, Mr. Lundberg said, growers try to use their stored rice by August to make way for ''new crop'' rice, which Asian populations demand for everyday eating. ''New crop'' is rice consumed within a month or two of harvest. Once a new rice crop is dried and polished in the autumn, Asian markets in the United States sell it in fancy foil bags (''new crop'' positioned prominently in Japanese characters). Asian cognoscenti say new-crop rice has a cleaner, sweeter flavor, a pearlier sheen and superior mouth-feel.
Fresh rice became a status symbol in Japan after World War II, when all but the wealthy were consigned to eating old rice. It is a prejudice the Japanese have been happy to keep. There is no doubt that the suavely neutral short-grain japonica suits the disposition of Japanese cuisine, a cuisine in which flavors punctuate but do not blend. (In contrast, premium long-grain Basmati rice is aged 12 to 18 months to intensify its aromatic properties and allow it to take the fire and complexity of Indian food head on.)

these are pirates that say "arrrrrrrggggghhh matey" and have parrots and all that. if you take this movie seriously (and you're an idiot if you do) you wont enjoy it. i had a grin on my face the entire movie, just enjoying the craziness of it all.

Cebit 2008: Green and Cheap – Round Table Discussion in Hanover
Environmental protection and cost savings are not mutually exclusive. The hype topic Green IT was the subject of a press conference on Monday by CeBIT organizers Messe AG with representatives of various companies and a spokesperson for the global Climate Savers Initiative.
During its service life, a server consumes electricity worth as much as the server's purchasing price; saving power not only cuts costs, it is also environmentally friendly – especially if you consider that the CO2 emission by the IT industry is about two percent and thus on a partition with CO2 emission caused by air traffic.
This is why this year's CeBIT motto is Green IT.
Low-energy devices are one approach to greener IT. Their potential becomes apparent when you consider that about a billion people world wide use PCs, but only a few use efficient power management or avoid unnecessary standby operations.
Saving power is just one aspect. The WWF representative, Dr. Bernhard Bauske, pointed out that the next big challenge will be to consider a device's total life cycle, from sourcing of raw materials and supplier's operations, through production and production deployment, to disposal. Taking the ecological footprint into consideration, people would have to ask themselves if they really need to bin their cellphones every 18 months, or if a modular design and upgrades might help to improve environmental friendliness.
A Green IT Village at CeBIT demonstrates what offices and datacenters can achieve today. Virtualization releases enormous potential at the datacenter by consolidating up to ten servers on a single physical system. Each of the systems would consume US$ 700 to 800 worth of electricity a year. But modern office technology can drastically reduce power consumption. Even bigger savings can be made by avoiding business trips and using video conferencing. The CO2 footprint of a single transatlantic flight is equivalent to 80 teleconferencing sessions.

Aug 16, 2013Adiós I'm a Ghost manages to retain its humanity and emotional center even in the most blistering of numbers.
Aug 16, 2013Adiós I'm a Ghost falls somewhere between the band's critically lauded sophomore release Tidelands, which was full of thoughtful atmospherics, and the looser, rowdier debut album Don't Be a Stranger.
Aug 16, 2013These strummy rockers, highlighted by the group's established three-part harmonies, are some of the most incisive and powerful in their catalog. Those who acquire music one track at a time need to rethink their position here since these songs weave together to form a tapestry that works as a beautifully constructed unified whole.

Press Releases
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (The Service) announced today that it will suspend proactive efforts to recover the only remaining wild population of 50-75 red wolves, which includes an immediate stop to its wolf reintroduction program.
"Congressmen Pearce and Gosar have introduced a death sentence for the Mexican gray wolf in their latest legislative proposal. Their bill (HR2910), introduced yesterday, would remove Endangered Species Act protections for the Mexican gray wolf. This is the most endangered population of wolves in the country, yet these representatives have made it their mission to force it into extinction.
Today Representative Valadao (R-CA) introduced a so-called drought relief bill that could have devastating impacts on California's rapidly-dwindling wetlands and imperiled wildlife, especially salmon and migratory birds. The bill overrides critical federal endangered species protections and undermines environmental laws under the guise of making more water available for consumption.
Conservation groups outraged by death of red wolf mother.
The Senate Appropriations Committee has passed a Department of the Interior appropriations bill riddled with anti-environmental amendments.
Senator Sheldon Whitehouse (RI) and Rep. Matt Cartwright (PA-17) introduced the SAFE Act today.
The just-completed House Interior appropriations bill includes a number of anti-wildlife riders.
Montana wildlife officials today announced the release of a draft Environmental Impact Statement to establish guidelines for when, where and how wild bison can be restored across Montana. When completed, this statewide bison management plan will guide future bison restoration in the state.
The House Subcommittee on Interior Appropriations has sent its markup for the Department of the Interior appropriations bill to the House floor.
Today the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) approved the Soda Mountain Solar Project over the objections of wildlife and desert conservation advocates, scientists, the BLM's Desert Advisory Committee, five former National Park Service superintendents and local citizens. The project is a massive 264-megawatt solar energy plant located only one mile from the border to the Mojave National Preserve, right in the heart of the California desert.

I canât think of anything wrong with âGotham City Sirensâ #2. I also canât think of anything right with the issue either. Guillem Marchâs art is the sole exception, rendered in a lush style that uses inventive panel placements and exquisite figures. However, it sometimes slides into that âscantily-clad women posing in ways that women tend not to in real lifeâ area.
Marchâs style is quite lovely, mixing a quirky, off-beat sensibility with a very classic look. He changes between very clean, almost simplistic figures and more detailed ones with ease, each character having his or her own unique style much of the time. If it werenât for the need to show Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn in positions that focus on their bodies for the sake of focusing on their bodies. Sometimes, it works well and with the characters, but a lot of the time, it doesnât.
Paul Dini seems like a great choice for this book, but the writing here is uninspired with Poison Ivy and Harley tying up Catwoman and threatening her with torture so sheâll spill the identity of Batman. Thankfully, just for such an instance, Talia al Ghul taught Catwoman a mental trick three years ago that will prevent her from exposing Bruce Wayne as Batman no matter how much she wants to. Isnât that convenient? Especially how that meeting has never been mentioned before? Oh ho ho, very smart, Mr. Dini!
The explanation Selina gives regarding Batmanâs identity is clever and pokes fun at the Batman mythos, but the interaction between the three women is mechanical. They feel like theyâre going through the motions here, playing the assigned roles with little feeling or gusto. The entire comic reads that way, never going beyond the surface story to give the impression that anything important is actually happening. Catwoman is tied up, sheâs let go, Harley goes shopping, Hush impersonates Bruce Wayne, just another day in Gotham City ho hum.
All of the characters act consistently with previous portrayals, and the plot is interesting, and, no doubt, many readers will walk away satisfied, but the lacking energy or indefinable quality that elevates a book from workmanlike to great or brilliant is missing. Guillem March draws his ass off, but even that canât save this issue from being completely forgettable once that final page has been read.

This book contains twenty-two articles by nineteen authors on different phases of genetics, eugenics, and race and sterilization problems. The opening article, by the Bavarian minister of the interior, is highly political. The succeeding chapters on the hereditary basis for race hygiene by a botanist, and race origins by an anthropologist, are good but demonstrate the deplorable tendency of the whole book to adapt scientific facts to promulgated laws. It is unfortunate that so many well trained scientists find it necessary to attempt to reconcile important and valuable facts to an abortive political project.

I'm ready for winter and I'm not getting my hopes up either. However there was a run, a day or so ago I think, that had 5-6" over me.

Much of the human activity defines information context and it can be effectively used for a matching process of context-aware mobile advertising systems. Although prior context-aware mobile advertising systems employed personalized and context sensitive approaches, they have mostly used simply aggregated user-side context information from sensors and have relied on previously prepared inference rules when performing match-making. There exist limitations in identifying more diverse variations that can happen in the real world due to the lack of considerations on daily human lives. As a novel solution, in this paper, we address a natural language processing (NLP) combined Web mining approach. Especially, we propose an object-activity-location-feedback (OALF) model which describes what objects are used for a specific activity in a specific location. Most of all, time variant feedback valences were employed to estimate users' responses to the advertisement triggering entities (objects, activities, locations, and their combinations) in terms of long-term and short-term basis. The model can be realized with a set of web mining procedures including web crawling, data refinement, and sentiment analysis. In addition, we describe how the OALF model can be applied into context-aware mobile advertising and discuss its business model design issues.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Speedway Motorsports Inc. has agreed to purchase Kentucky Speedway, opening the door for the northern Kentucky track to perhaps one day host a NASCAR Sprint Cup Series event.
The deal announced Thursday by SMI chairman Bruton Smith could end a lengthy battle between the track's ownership group and NASCAR.
The 1.5-mile oval, located in Sparta, Ky., midway between Cincinnati and Louisville, opened in 2000 and hosts several circuits a year, including the Nationwide Series and the Indy Racing League.
Kentucky Speedway filed an antitrust lawsuit in 2005 against NASCAR and International Speedway Inc. The lawsuit was dismissed in January.
SMI, which operates several other tracks that host Sprint Cup events, could move one of those races to Kentucky Speedway.

LOS ANGELES -- Former USC basketball star O.J. Mayo has been dropped by his agent ahead of the June 26 NBA draft because of the "overwhelming intensity" of allegations that Mayo illegally received cash and gifts.
Mayo had announced that Calvin Andrews of Bill Duffy Associates would represent him. But the Walnut Creek, Calif.-based sports management group issued a statement Thursday saying their association was over.
"Due to the overwhelming intensity of recent allegations regarding the recruitment of O.J. Mayo, we feel that our representation of him is a distraction for he and his family at this time," the statement said.

HOUSTON -- Paul Hamm's stay at the top of the U.S. championships might be a short one.
Hamm said he might not compete Saturday after injuring his first hand in the last few seconds of his parallel bars routine, his final event of the night Thursday. As Hamm was flipping to do work on one bar, his right fingers caught on the rail and were jammed to the side. He fell off, and immediately grabbed his wrist as he grimaced.
"I heard a small popping sound in the joint," said Hamm, who left the arena with his right arm wrapped and will have X-rays Friday morning. "This is not something that will make me sit out of the Olympics, but it might make me sit for Saturday. If it's something very little, I'll compete Saturday. If I think it is something worse, I'll hold off until trials.

Vick's a Sight to See
The NFC East is quickly becoming our favorite conference/psychodrama in sports. What's not to like? You've got the Giants, still a handsome 6-3 despite last Sunday's embarrassing hallway wedgie from the hapless Dallas Cowboys. You have the Cowboys, now 2-7, suddenly un-hapless and cocksure and steamrolling straight to a Super Bowl…party at an airport Chili's.
Next up, you have the 4-5 Washington Redskins, who were routed by the Eagles 59-28 on Monday, and now take over for the Cowboys as the NFL's most obnoxiously overdiagnosed franchise. Is Mike Shanahan still standing in the rain at FedExField, his face prickly and crinkly, like a newborn hedgehog's?
Then there's Philadelphia. The Eagles are indisputably the most exciting club in the NFL, led by the most exciting player in the NFL: Michael Vick. Dez Bryant, blah, blah, no. Mr. Vick is The Man this season, and Monday night, he painted an exuberant, career-defining masterpiece at FedEx, throwing for 333 yards and four touchdowns and running for 80 more yards and two touchdowns. That's what the Carolina Panthers call "a season."
If you missed this contest—or shut it off after it was 28-0 in the first quarter—it was a mistake. Even if the Redskins chose not to dress for the game, opting instead to head off to an Adams Morgan bar to toast Donovan McNabb's new contract extension, and sending an Ultimate Frisbee team from the campus of Georgetown in their place, it was an astonishing one-man show.
Mr. Vick is again redefining the quarterback position, this time with a veteran's poise. It's not as if he's suddenly transformed into a lead-footed pocket passer—he's still shockingly fast in every direction—but the flurry of motion now has purpose. Watching him pick apart the Redskins/Georgetown Ultimate Frisbee defense, we had to remind ourselves that it was pouring outside—Mr. Vick would nimbly sprint five steps back, five steps forward, three to his right, stop as if he had an emergency brake, and then fire a strike to a receiver who appeared shocked the play was still alive.
One of the most exhilarating things in sports is to watch an athlete playing at the highest level display such a noticeably extra gear. Rafael Nadal has it; so does Alexander Ovechkin; so does Cleveland's least-favorite Miami resident, despite all the agita. Playing at his best, Mr. Vick is an unanswerable riddle: How do you possibly defend that? The Giants are about to find out. On Sunday they head to Philly in a showdown between chemically opposite division leaders.
Naturally, as the Eagles fly forward, there will be endless discussion of Mr. Vick's image rehabilitation from his dogfighting conviction. Every time Mr. Vick—who served a 19-month prison sentence—plays well, we inevitably hear lovestruck sermons from commentators who fly overboard and place him somewhere between Jean Valjean and Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn.
He's not this, of course. Mr. Vick is a football player, and no single performance or win streak—or even a Super Bowl—can totally repair a reputation as injured as his. But the football? The football is going just fine.

Released: Nov 01st, 1983
Running Time: 60
Director: Alex deRenzy
Company: VCA
Cast: Nicole Black, John Leslie, Linda Wong, Desiree Cousteau
Critical Rating: Not Yet Rated
Genre: Feature
In the wide, wide world of porno movies, a few directors stand out as being the best in their field. Immediately, names like Chuck Vincent, Anthony Spinelli and Cecil Howard come to mind. But, as far as out-and-out sex is concerned, I doubt if there's anyone better than Alex DeRenzy. While his films are not nearly as glossy as the aforementioned trio, they do contain some of the wildest sex scenes ever etched on celluloid. Now, thanks to these two new collections, DeRenzy's greatest hits can be savored for viewing over and over again.
Among DeRenzy's films are Pretty Peaches, Femmes DeSade, Long Jeanne Silver, Baby Face and Cheryl Hansen: Cover Girl. Collectively, the list is quite impressive, albeit not very prolific. That's only five films over a creative period that spans nearly a decade. But, individually, each film features a major breakthrough in adult cinema, dealing with subjects that were – and still are, on most occasions – considered taboo.
On the surface, Pretty Peaches is fairly simple comedy about a little girl lost trying to find her parents. Look a little closer, however, and you'll find a scene featuring enema sex and finale that showcases incest. Femmes DeSade offers an array of wild stuff, from self-fellatio to strong S&M, violence and, finally, a degradation sequence that could bet eh strongest ever filmed. Long Jeanne Silver has amputee sex, Baby Face features an actress that appears no older than 12, and Cheryl Hansen: Cover Girl serves up a pretty famous model in her first hardcore role.
If you seek DeRenzy's most sensual moments, however, I wholeheartedly recommend both volumes. There's a series of great erotic sequences here, some wildly different from the next. Certainly, viewers should find at least a few to quench their sexual appetite.
Included in The Best of Alex DeRenzy is a classic seduction scene starring Cuddles Malone. With her shaved vagina, cute ponytails and underdeveloped chest, the tyke looks like she's not old enough to cross the street by herself let alone partake in frenzied libidinous encounters. But it's DeRenzy's penchant for capturing the unthinkable – a little girl having sex – that makes this scene so hot. Another segment clipped from the same movie is one of the funniest gang-bangs in history. A beautiful rock star (Kristine Heller) visits a party and is immediately accosted by a bunch of horny guys. She heads upstairs and screams for more. Soon the party-goers are sending out for more troops, and the singer's throat is tickled to ecstasy. Then there's that infamous enema scene where Desire Cousteau's Pretty Peaches is welcomed by her goofy uncle in an out-of-the-way bathroom. While she "oohs" and "awws" he proceeds to administer an enema to his niece. As the topper to the scene, she spritzes the water out in a steady stream that seems to last three minutes… or at least three gallons. A classic mixture of high camp and high colonics.
If this seems too outrageous to you, you may want to stay away from Hot Pink. It's in this greatest hits package that kink is king, what with the likes of Long Jeanne Silver doing her stump the star routine. But there are some great erotic bits as well. Cheryl Hansen and Joey Silvera go at it while an obscene phone caller huffs and puffs away. John Leslie and a crew of muscular men get their engine steamed by Leslie Bovee in a boiler room and there's that super orgy from Pretty Peaches with oil, John Leslie, Desiree and a bevy of bountiful bodies.
A minor problem with these volumes is the exclusion of credits. Porn vets and novices alike would certainly appreciate some information on the featured films. But this is a small drawback. Both The Best of Alex DeRenzy and Hot Pink are musts for anyone searching for the most electrifying moments adult films have to offer.

My room was very clean and the bed very comfortable.
Although a pub, the accommodation at the Loco was very quiet. The breakfast was cooked to order and a great start to a busy day. I would not hesitate to stay there again.

Haxey stay
We were looking to stay in a small village in rural Lincolnshire, and this was perfect - a lovely village with a couple of shops, two pubs etc.
- our stay at the Loco was excellent - the owner telephoned me at home before we visited to check our expected arrival time, which I thought was a nice touch. The accomodation was good, the room fine, with a large bathroom - we had a very good Indian meal in the restaurant, and a lovely full English breakfast in the morning -overall really good value for money.

A hidden gem.
When you first park up outside The Loco it doesn't bowl you over with stunning architecture but do not be deceived, as inside you are sure to receive a great experience far better than higher rated hotels that also charge a lot more.
We had a very warm welcome from the lady owner and were quickly shown to our air conditioned room, which we found to be more than adequately furnished and with an extremely comfortable bed and a huge shower. It was also great to find a lift inside the building which, being disabled, I took advantage of to avoid using the stairs. The bar was well stocked and very reasonably priced and staffed by friendly people who were more than happy to take our food order and allow us to relax in the bars leather settees until our meal was ready. The real magic of this hotel is the on site indian restaurant whose head chef is also one of the owners. The indian menu is extensive and of amazing quality and value. Be warned, the naan breads are huge and obviously cooked in a traditional tandoor oven, so you may want to avoid ordering rice as well like we did. Although so as not to allow anything to go to waste, we had the naan bagged up and took it to our room for a late night snack....incredible. The breakfast was great and set us up for our journey home. When we finally got our bill when checking out, considering it included the room charge, bar and restaurant bill it still came in cheaper than our previous nights room only stay in Whitby. We had a great time and can highly recommend this hidden gem. The owners are so down to earth and friendly, without a hint of pretentiousness made us feel relaxed and almost 'at home'. Try it, you won't be disappointed.

Osborne Really Has to Hold His Nerve
This is the moment of maximum danger for George Osborne. The U.K. Chancellor of the Exchequer must stand up to deliver his second budget Wednesday against a backdrop of a fourth-quarter slump in GDP, surging inflation, rising unemployment, falling house prices and declining bank lending —and all this before the spending cuts announced in his previous budget have even started to bite.
His friends tell him he desperately needs a growth agenda, his enemies say it is time to reach for Plan B. In truth, he needs neither. He simply needs to hold his nerve and brace himself for what is sure to be a tough year ahead.
Sure, growth is a worry for the U.K. economy. The Office for Budget Responsibility's previous estimate of 2.1% growth in the 2010/11 fiscal year now looks too optimistic—market forecasts are now closer to 1.5%. Another quarter or two of GDP contraction this year can't be ruled out, possibly even a slip into double- dip recession.
Rising inflation will also push up the costs of certain index-linked benefits putting further pressure on the government's deficit reduction targets. Recent events in the Middle East and Japan have highlighted the economy's vulnerability to external shocks.
Of course, there are various micro-economic initiatives Mr. Osborne could introduce to help boost growth and competitiveness at the margins—many of them eloquently set out by Sir Richard Lambert in his valedictory speech as Director General of the Confederation of British Industry. The chancellor could tinker with employment law to make it easier to hire and fire staff, relax planning law to encourage investment. Business would in theory welcome a simplification of the tax rules—the Office of Tax Simplification recently identified 47 tax allowances that should be abolished—although in practice, these exercises inevitably produce winners as well as losers.
Mr. Osborne could even decide to resurrect the old Eighties gimmick of Enterprise Zones to address regional competitive weaknesses.
On a longer-term view, supply-side initiatives such as reforms to education and training and investment in infrastructure will be crucial to underscore future competitiveness. And it goes without saying that any serious growth agenda would haver to call time on the ludicrous banker-bashing that has dominated the U.K.'s political debate for far too long.
There is not much Mr. Osborne can do now to put back in the bottle the genie he ill-advisedly uncorked when he set up the Independent Banking Commission after the general election. But when even the French finance minister says that "bank bashing is futile," it's a clear signal the U.K. assault on its most important export industry has gone too far.
But these initiatives pale into insignificance alongside the overwhelming importance of cutting the deficit—and doing so in the way that Mr. Osborne has laid out, primarily via cuts to public spending. That's partly because—as the chancellor likes to point out—a stable macro- economic environment is the most important service government can provide to business.
In the World Economic Forum's 2011 competitiveness survey, the U.K. ranked 12th overall, but just 56th in the world for macro-economic stability.
By taking aggressive action to cut the deficit, Mr. Osborne creates the conditions for the Bank of England to hold down interest rates, which in turn has kept sterling low. The benefits in terms of increased competitiveness, faster export growth and higher profits can already be seen in the remarkable surge in the U.K manufacturing sector.
But there is another reason why cutting public spending is so important to the U.K.'s growth prospects that Mr. Osborne is understandably less willing to trumpet: there is now a body of academic evidence showing how cuts in public spending, particularly when achieved via cuts to the government wage bill, help reduce private sector wages, boosting corporate competitiveness and lead to much higher business investment— crucial to a recovery.
For example, Harvard University's Alberto Alesina showed in a 2002 study of fiscal consolidations that every one percentage point increase in public spending as a percentage of GDP decreased business investment as a proportion of GDP by 0.48 percentage points after one year and a cumulative 2.56 percentage points after five years.
That suggests Mr. Osborne's aim to cut public spending as a proportion of GDP by eight percentage points to 40.% over the next four years is exactly the right strategy. While it is tough on the estimated 600,000 public sector workers forecast to lose their jobs, the evidence suggests they will be reabsorbed into the work force as a result of rising business investment, albeit at lower wages. Indeed, the Bank of England is counting on downward pressure on wages to ensure the economy weathers the current inflation spike.
That should give Mr. Osborne some confidence that so long as he sticks to his course, he will succeed in eliminating the U.K.'s structural deficit by 2015 as planned. Indeed, the academic research suggests Mr. Osborne should even be going further.
So far, most of the U.K. fiscal consolidation effort has been achieved via extra taxes, including a big increase in VAT, higher top rate tax thresholds, and the new 50% top rate. Yet the evidence shows that higher labor taxes also undermine competitiveness, reduce profits and lead to lower investment. If Mr. Osborne is really serious about delivering a growth agenda, he should commit to cutting this tax burden, even at the expense of further cuts to public spending.
The chancellor doesn't so much need a Plan B as a doubling up on his Plan A.

Dear, Oh Deer
Why didn't I think to DIY painted antlers after my trip to Wyoming, where antlers are aplenty? Until my next trip to the Great Plains, these beauties from Milwaukee-based artist Cassandra Smith just might have to hold me over. (Just in case you're wondering, deer and elk shed their antlers naturally each year.)
For Every Occasion
Last night Erica and I were lucky enough to preview Free People's collection of 6 beautiful limited edition party dresses, each specially designed and handcrafted by a different in-house designer. Only 50 of each were made and starting today, they are available online. As soon as I saw the white dress with the blue and green details, I immediately sent an image to one of my dearest friends who is getting married in Puerto Rico next spring. She must wear this dress on her wedding day!
Montaña Mágica Lodge
Montaña Mágica Lodge, also known as Magic Mountain Lodge, is located within Huilo Huilo, a 232 square mile natural reserve in southern Chile. Covered in rainforest moss and vines, this manmade volcano-like structure spews water and is only accessible by a monkey bridge. And if this isn't sufficiently magical and surreal, outside are hot tubs, carved from hollowed out tree trunks, with ideal vantage points for wildlife sightings. Honestly? WTF.
Sunday Somewhere
I'm loving all the vintage inspired glasses and sunnies from Sydney-based brand Sunday Somewhere. This pair in particular has my heart going pitter patter . . . HEEYEH!

Susie O'Brien: Bump in road for a living doll
- From: adelaidenow
- February 22, 2013
A DELICIOUSLY nasty media storm has erupted over whether Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, is a smart modern woman or just a "plastic princess" who is "born to breed".
It all started when a feted British author, Hilary Mantel, delivered an address to the London Review of Books a few weeks ago analysing royal women and their treatment by the media.
Mantel said she saw Kate - I can't call her Catherine - "becoming a jointed doll on which certain rags are hung".
She went on to say Kate appeared "to have been designed by a committee and built by craftsmen, with a perfect plastic smile".
Predictably, outrage ensued. UK journalists called Mantel's quite thoughtful analysis of royalty a "venomous attack" and a "bizarre rant".
It didn't help that Mantel, 60, was seen as a fat, old barren cow jealous of the princess's youth, slimness and working womb.
However, Mantel's critics missed the point entirely: her attack was on the role Kate is expected to play, not the woman herself. Mantel basically argued that Kate was there to look good, say nothing, and breed.
I agree with that: it's been the role of princesses for centuries.
Kate, as Mantel saw it, was also subjugated by a media obsessed with little more than her looks and baby-making ability. Given the endless fawning over Kate's fashion choices and her tiny baby bump, it's hard to deny this is true.
But I'd go further and suggest that most of what Mantel said also applies to Kate herself.
Mantel said Kate is so adored by the media that she appears "machine-made" in her perfection and seems to lack the quirks that mark the "emergence of character".
I agree. Kate's irrepressible cheeriness, manner and freakishly good looks mean she does come across as a bit of a brunette Barbie with interchangeable outfits.
Let's face it, Princess is not a modern job and Kate has adopted a very traditional approach to her duties.
Whether she likes it or not, Kate is defined by the man she marries, is expected to produce an heir and a spare, and cannot have a career of her own.
And at this stage, she's little more than an attractive clothes horse who is good at polite chit-chat and holding bouquets.
But in a modern world, even princesses can do more. For a start, I'd like to see Kate using her star power and influence to champion some serious causes.
She could certainly take her late mother-in-law as a role model. In the end, Princess Diana's tireless charity work on unpopular causes like AIDS and landmines defined her better than her hair or clothes ever did.
Kate is 10 years older and much better educated than Diana was when she married Prince Charles, so there's no excuse for her not to step up.
The fear is that without this move, Kate does risk ending up little more than a well-dressed wife and mother who doesn't have any identity of her own.
I hate to say it, but she's mute, well-behaved and perfectly groomed: when did you ever hear her say anything of real consequence or value?
Mantel is right that the interesting thing about Diana was the gap between her human capacity and the "superhuman role she was required to fill".
So far, Kate's polished assurance has made her a less interesting character study. In the end, we have to "back off and not be brutes" - as Mantel says - but why shouldn't a princess be subject to the same scrutiny as everyone else?
Ultimately, Kate may be a smart modern woman, but it's hard to tell when she's acting like a plastic princess who's just born to breed.
Have your say
