During the last friendly match, he thought the fans have seen how DPMM FC played which was slightly differently from last year. To be solid as a unit is very important and he stresses about the physical aspect of the game. It's no surprise that Steve have dual training sessions in a day, one at the gym and one on the field.
Steve is still in search of a marquee player. However, he is not in rush for one as long as he finds a striker who is not just talented but with a great attitude. DPMM FC has till end of March to find one before the transfer window closes.

This is interesting. There have been talks about International School Brunei looking for a new location and guess what? they have already started doing ground works on a new location, not far from Sg.

So let's see what new developments that we will know of ISB.

Shell Eco-Marathon 2014
A sending off ceremony was held today at the Brunei International Airport for the participants of the Shell Eco-Marathon 2014. A total of 35 Bruneians from five teams will be challenging more than 100 teams from 16 different countries to break the national record of driving 142km on a single liter of fuel.
Present at the send-off ceremony was the, Deputy Managing Director of Brunei Shell Petroleum Sdn Bhd, Haji Salleh Bostaman bin Haji Zainal Abidin as well as other officials from the Ministry of Education and Brunei Shell Petroleum.
Prior to leaving for The Philippines, the five teams from University Brunei Darussalam (UBD), Sekolah Vokasional Seria Bolkiah (SVSB), and Pusat Latihan Mekanik (PLM) had the chance to do a preliminary technical inspection before the vehicles were shipped to Manila.
Among some of the aspects of the technical inspection involved a visibility test, brake test, safety belt check, and escape test, according to the stringent health, safety and environment standards set by Shell.
This is the third year that Bruneian teams will be participating in SEM Asia, as Brunei first participated in the Shell Eco Marathon in 2011, by pitting eco-cars built by students from PLM and SVSB against 103 teams representing 12 countries from Japan, India, China, and the ASEAN countries on the Sepang International Circuit.
Brunei's participation in the Shell Eco-Marathon Asia 2014 competition is the result of a successful collaboration between BSP and the Ministry of Education through UBD and Department of Technical Education (DTE).

In this year's edition, the five teams from Brunei will be competing against more than 100 other teams from 16 different countries, exposing them to the technologies and expertise used by students from other participating countries, as well as a chance to network.
The SEM competition is part of Shell's Mobility Campaign, and challenges students in finding innovative ways to develop more energy-efficient fuels and lubricants to help reduce Co2 emissions. SEM provides a unique opportunity to push the boundaries of design and build the cars of tomorrow.
To power their vehicles, teams can choose from a selection of conventional and alternative fuels. They can enter the 'Prototype' category, where cars are designed for pure fuel efficiency, or the 'UrbanConcept' category, where vehicles also have to meet certain road-worthy criteria.
There are rules regarding the specification of the engines and the chassis in both categories but, outside of those and as long as teams adhere to the safety regulations, the design of their cars is limited only by their imagination.
This year's event will be held from 6 – 9 February 2014 at Luneta Park in Manila, Philippines and will include teams from all over the Asian region. Press release from Brunei Shell.

"Temporary issues with delivery" was attributed to the unavailability of diesel and petrol in the Temburong District two days ago, causing difficulties for many motorists especially those utilising the route to cross the border to Malaysia and vice-versa.
According to Temburong resident Hj Apong Momin, many motorists in the district were left fuming when they were met with signs indicating the unavailability of diesel and petrol for the past two days. He said it started at one of the only two petrol stations in the district, but supplies also ran out at the other petrol station when people started buying in panic.
The long queue last Tuesday at Temburong
Brunei Shell Marketing (BSM)'s Head of Retail, Md Adini Hj M Daini, however, reassured residents of Temburong that there is no need for panic buying as fuel supplies are adequate and there is no shortage of fuel in the country.
"At 6.30pm last evening (Tuesday), we have made delivery to the petrol stations and they are willing to open until late last night to cater for the demand," he said in a telephone call to the Bulletin.
The temporary disruption to supplies, he said, was due to issues with delivery but he assured that petrol supplies for today have been secured and will have additional delivery of fuel today.
"We regret the inconvenience caused, especially to motorists in Temburong and have taken action to address the situation accordingly and are working closely with the petrol stations to monitor their stocks to ensure continuous delivery of fuel," he added.

I'm still recovering from the CNY festive celebration or more like taking time off. Yea true, celebrations are kinda muted and plus it's a long weekend and many were traveling abroad for holidays. I have been returning home late (sorry Mom) and sleeping late as well and now my body clock has slightly been affected and also a bit of my work.
I shall be traveling again soon to Singapore to accompany my mom and also juggling with my workload. One thing though that I have yet to commit is my yoga exercise and also two of my objectives which I have set earlier in the year but yet to even kick it off. That's the thing, the hardest is always the beginning, right? But once you get the ball rolling, it will roll.
For now, I'm gonna flood with this post with pictures taken from my CNY visit. Enjoy and be right back!!

Back to the February groove
It was an event that I missed yet again - the 2012-2013 Pelangi Awards. It took place last weekend at the Jerudong Amphitheater and thousands came to show their support to the local talent. Fakhrul Razi and Ezah Hashim were the big winners in their respective categories. Fakhrul Razi won Chosen Male Vocal and the Special Award. Ezah Hashim won Chosen Female Vocal and Chosen New Solo Artist.
Fakhrul was given the Special Award for his contribution in the music scene where he started in the age of 14 and the various awards he was won ever since and the biggest of the lot was the Gold medals he achieved at the World Championship of Performing Arts in 2013. He's also a popular TV presenter and well known master of ceremonies. He is also a DJ on Kristal FM but his recent post stated that it was his last show for Kristal FM. I'm not quite sure what he meant.
The other awards went to The Seeds as the Chosen Duo/Group Vocal while "Have a Safe Fall" (Adilah, Richmond, Bryant and Mark Jay) won the Chosen New Duo/Group Vocal. Last but not least, Maria won Chosen Song, Jika Tiada Jalan Lain.
There were some live performances from the local artistes such as Aziz Harun, Rapul Rezal, Juju Junaidi and Udt Band. The guest of honour Datin Paduka Hjh Adina Othman present the Chosen Song to Maria.
Did you know that this is the fifth time that Pelangi FM has held this award ceremony? This is a great platform to inspire more local talents and not just in the vocal department but also as a music composer or a lyricist or a musician or even a producer.
A great effort by Pelangi FM in creating this event and it was another success too. Congratulations to the winners and also to those who made it to the finals. In the end of the day, all of you are winners because of the passion and dedication you have shown and inspire more potential artistes to come out of their shells :)

Fast forward 30 odd plus years later, there was a reboot for the Robocop franchise. Many won't have recalled the classic Robocop movie which was directed by Paul Verhoeven (Total Recall, Basic Instinct, Starship Troopers) and I kinda enjoyed his version. So what's my take for the reboot? First of all, I was kinda impressed with a lot of things. It's never easy to make a reboot or a remake of a classic movie. Sometimes it's best not to reboot a household name because of the risk and the expectations that come along with it.
José Padilha the director may have just hit the mark in continuing a rebooted franchise. Though there were moments of expositions, Robocop delivered in both the plot and the action scenes. I didn't feel restless for one and I was drawn into the fact of how human emotions conflict with programming and that again it's another area which can open up discussion to another level. Some may have complained about the patches of dialogue in the film but I felt it was necessary to create that emotional attachment to the characters involved. Though I would have to admit that the dialogue scenes could have been edited and cut out the unnecessary bits.
The other down side I felt is the PG-13 rating which makes it less surreal and gruesome so kids can still enjoy the much talked about Robocop. I wasn't too concerned about it but it would have given the action scenes more substance and feel if it had a stricter rating for the audience. Nonetheless, this is surprisingly entertaining and it was a good way to end a mediocre January in terms of movie releases.
Robocop is a recommended movie and if you enjoy character development and stylish action scenes, you will get that rewarding feel in Robocop. Oh yea, the casting were great too. This movie warrants a sequel. I shall wait for that. It's pretty interesting how people have rated Robocop with a high average of 8 in the ratings chart. You can view them here on my instagram. Verdict: 8/10 @delgoh 7
Second quiz: This is in relation to The Popcorn Panel quiz where you will stand a chance to win a PS4 console and this is the second quiz for The Popcorn Panel. Name three other movies that were discussed in the Episode 22 review of Robocop? All you have to do is listen to our Episode 22 on Soundcloud.com/thepopcornpanel and do post your answers on my instagram image of Robocop. I will be running quizzes on different episodes of The Popcorn Panel and the competition will run until April 2014. So good luck, peeps!!

KL Rewind - January 2014. Although many of us may be familiar with KL and the shopping to be done there, how many of us have actually really seen the city? And when I mean see the city, it takes on a whole new meaning when you see it in a different way while visiting the KL City Gallery, which is located near Dataran Merdeka.
We were fortunate enough to visit the gallery on the day that the launch of Visit Malaysia Year took place, so the area was bustling with activity, with tents pitched for the upcoming spectacle that would take place that very evening.
The KL City Gallery is actually pretty awesome because it has this whole room dedicated to the history of KL, but presents it in such a unique manner, which makes you feel like you're walking through a history book, but more fun. Written by Aliya Zin.

NATCHITOCHES, La. – The Texas A&M – Corpus Christi Women's Tennis team survived a slugfest against Northwestern State on Saturday afternoon, winning 4-3 against the Lady Demons in a Southland Conference match at the Jack Fisher Tennis Complex. The Islanders, ranked No. 69 in the nationals rankings of the Intercollegiate Tennis Association, the official rankings for all of NCAA Division I, had another tough match against NSU, the fourth straight match between the teams that has ended in a 4-3 final.
The Islanders (9-0, 2-0 Southland) topped Northwestern State (5-4, 0-1 Southland) with a big win of the doubles point, and a huge effort from Stefania Nicolae at No. 4 singles to clinch the match.
"That was as tough and back and forth as a college tennis match can get," said Director of Tennis Steve Moore. "We have a ton of respect for Northwestern State and coach Patrick DuBois."
The last four matches have been 4-3 scores, with the final singles match going to a third set before the dual match was decided. After losing the first two by a 4-3 score, the Islanders have taken the last two 4-3 matches, winning in the opening round of the Southland Conference Tournament last year before earning a hard-fought win on Saturday.
"We have really developed a great rivalry with them," said Moore. "It's incredibly intense, but a very good, respectful rivalry."
In what would be a crucial point, Texas A&M – Corpus Christi earned the doubles victory with wins at No. 1 and No. 3 to take the early lead. Mia Matuszak and Maider Martin won 8-2 to give the Islanders the first match, while Doris Kuselj and Nicolae picked up an 8-4 final at No. 1 spot to clinch the point. Sandra Burges and Chelsea Horan lost in doubles for the first time this season, falling 8-6 at No. 2 to make it a 2-1 final in the doubles portion of the match.
In singles, each team picked up three wins as Texas A&M – Corpus Christi earned the crucial win.
The Lady Demons tied things up at 1-1 when Martin fell by a 6-1, 6-0 final at No. 3 singles, but Celia Rodriguez Delgado regained the lead for the Islanders, winning 6-4, 6-4 for her team at the No. 6 position. Horan put Texas A&M – Corpus Christi on the brink with a 7-6 (7-5), 6-2 win at No. 5, but NSU would rally.
Kuselj fell 3-6, 6-4, 6-3 at No. 1 singles, and Burges lost her first singles match of the season with a 7-6 (7-1), 7-5 final at No. 2 to make it a 3-3 match.
That is where Nicolae stepped up and rallied from a set down to take the crucial final point at No. 4 singles, winning 5-7, 6-4, 6-3 to keep the Islanders undefeated on the year.
Nicolae was able to clinch the match in front of her parents, who had flown in from Romania to see her play this week.
"I could not be more proud for Stefania," said Moore. "To clinch to deciding match with her mom and dad having coming all the way from Romania to watch? That's as good as it gets. She played with great courage, and she really deserves it."
It took all parts of the team to complete the win today as the Islanders earned their closest win of the year.
"This was a true team win today," said Moore. "They earned it at one of the toughest places to play on the road, and in front of a great crowd. We have to make incredibly good choices to get rested and hydrated to be able to duplicate this effort tomorrow."
The road will not get any easier for the Islanders, with defending Southland Conference Champion Stephen F. Austin awaiting in Nacogdoches, Texas for a Sunday afternoon affair. The match is schedule for a 2 p.m. start at the Schlief Tennis Complex.
"Sticking together, facing adversity and showing character, that is what college tennis is all about," said Moore. "I love the character of these girls, and I'm excited to battle on the road with them again over the next few days."

About the Book
Favorite characters return in this stunning seventh and final book in Angie Sage's New York Times bestselling magykal series: ExtraOrdinary Wizard Marcia Overstrand, Alchemist Marcellus Pye, and of course Septimus Heap, Jenna, Beetle, Simon, Lucy, and the rest of the Heap gang.
Jenna will soon be Queen and Beetle is now Chief Hermetic Scribe. Septimus, however, must rid the Castle of the Darke Domaine by destroying the Two-Faced Ring. His skills in both Magyk and Physik will be tested, as will his loyalties.
Filled with Angie Sage's characteristic humor and heart, Fyre is a grand finale that is fantasy adventure at its best.
Now that Septimus, Jenna, and Beetle are fourteen years old, they have assumed larger roles in their Magykal world. Beetle is the Chief Hermetic Scribe of the Manuscriptorium and Jenna will soon be Queen, but Septimus is still battling the remnants of the Darke Domaine, which will remain until the power of the evil Two-Faced Ring is destroyed forever. To accomplish that, the ancient Alchemie Fyre must be relit—a task that sends Septimus to the very origins of Magyk and Physik, testing both his skills and his loyalties to ExtraOrdinary Wizard Marcia Overstrand and Alchemist Marcellus Pye.
In a journey that encapsulates the entire Septimus Heap series, Septimus continues to discover who he is and expand upon his Magykal power and skills. fyre weaves together every character from the series and incorporates many of the Magykal places from each book. Written with Angie Sage's distinctive humor and heart, Fyre is the grand finale that celebrates the greatest Magyk of all: When the Fyre inside is kindled and when the Time Is Right, anything is possible.

PIKEVILLE, Ky. – The University of Pikeville wrapped up the No. 2 seed in this week's Mid-South Conference tournament on Monday. On Tuesday, it returned to the Top 10 in the NAIA coaches poll.
The Bears, who ended the regular season with an overall record of 24-5, are ranked 10th in the latest NAIA Division I Men's Basketball Coaches' Top 25.
Pikeville had been in the Top 10 all season long until it fell to No. 17 two weeks ago after consecutive losses. Four straight wins before the end of the polling period – which was wrapped up before Monday night's season finale at U.Va.-Wise – were enough to push Kelly Wells' team back in the Top 10.
Pikeville is one of three MSC teams in the Top 25 again, and all were on the move. Lindsey Wilson, which will be the top seed in this week's tournament, moved up a spot to No. 3 as it flipped places with John Brown (Ark.) for the second straight week.
Because Monday's games were not factored in, Lindsey Wilson was not penalized for its loss to Campbellsville.
Georgetown, having lost at Lindsey Wilson last week, fell from its tie in the 13th spot to No. 16 this week. The Tigers enter the MSC tournament seeded third – a potential semifinal opponent for Pikeville – with a record of 22-7.
The only team getting votes but not reaching the poll this week is Campbellsville. Only eight teams picked up nods outside the poll.
Columbia (Mo.), which became the first team since Georgetown in 2007-08 to run the regular-season table, is No. 1 again at 30-0. Lee (Tenn.) continues its run in the two spot at 28-1.
Pikeville will begin tournament play on Friday evening at 6 p.m. when it plays seventh-seeded St. Catharine College at the Frankfort Civic Center. It will be the third game of four quarterfinal games on Friday. The winner of that game will play the winner of No. 3 Georgetown and No. 6 Cumberlands on Saturday at 8 p.m. in the semifinal round.
The championship game will be played at 5:30 on Sunday and will be televised live on FOX College Sports.

Blood consists of a mildly alkaline aqueous fluid (plasma) containing red cells (erythrocytes), white cells (leukocytes), and platelets; it is red when oxygenated and purple when deoxygenated. Red blood cells carry the protein hemoglobin, which gives blood its color and can combine with oxygen, thus enabling the blood to carry oxygen from the lungs to the tissues. White blood cells protect the body against the invasion of foreign agents (e.g., bacteria). Platelets and other factors present in plasma are concerned in the clotting of blood, preventing hemorrhage. In medieval science and medicine, blood was regarded as one of the four bodily humors, believed to be associated with a confident and optimistic temperament.

Old English blōd, of Germanic origin; related to German Blut and Dutch bloed.
Something so vital to life is bound to play a large part in the language. Blood represents violence, genetic inheritance, and, in blood, sweat, and tears, hard work and sacrifice; in 1940 Winston Churchill announced to Parliament that he had 'nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears, and sweat'. Nowadays bloody is a relatively mild swear word, but it used to be virtually unprintable. In the 19th century, and well into the 20th, it was on a par with obscene language and caused deep offence. Its use by George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950) in Pygmalion (1913), where Eliza Doolittle says, 'Walk! Not bloody likely', caused a sensation, and indeed the play's stage directions mark the word 'Sensation' after the line in question. This reaction probably arose because people thought the word contained a blasphemous reference to the blood of Christ, or was a corruption of by Our Lady. In fact the most likely origin lies in the aristocratic rowdies, or 'bloods', of the late 17th and early 18th centuries. Most of the earliest examples, in the second half of the 17th century, involve someone being 'bloody drunk', which probably simply meant 'as drunk as a blood'.

AskBaby Talk > Nappies, Changing and Potty Training > Wont use the potty/toilet anywhere away from home
Posted: Tue Jun 19, 2012 2:28 pm
Post subject: Wont use the potty/toilet anywhere away from home
I started trying to potty train Noah last week and to be honest, he's taken to it really well. If we're at home I put him in pants and he will just go and use the potty, pulling down his pants and pulling them back up afterwards.
HOWEVER....He wont do poos on the potty yet (I know with lots of toddlers this sometimes can take a while). But he wont use the potty anywhere else - either at nursery or at my mum & dads (whom he adores and spends a lot of time with). It's like he's embarrassed or something, but if I even try to suggest he uses his potty at their house he goes hysterical. This morning when I sent him to nursery, I asked if I could put his pants on, or even pull-ups, and he went crazy asking to have his nappy on.
What can I do?!

i think maybe just give him a little more time? if u only strted last week its gonna be a new concept for him!
give him a few more weeks to get more used to it at him then he will probably want to do it away from home too just put him in nappies away from home if thas what he feel comfortable in then try again in a couple of weeks when going to the toilet becomes a little more natural?

Isobel was like this for a while - her nursery were brilliant! She was great at home but wouldn't go at nursery. Every time I dropped her off and picked her up, I took her to their little toilet room and sat her on the potty and then went bonkers with praise (even if she hadn't done anything). The nursery spoke to the parents of one of her, slightly older friend, and they agreed to let Izzy go to the toilet with her to see that it wasn't scary. In the end, the nursery took her pull ups off and gave her a little timer which they set every hour and they took her to the potty. I sent her with LOADS of clothes changes and they just kept trying. They were never cross with her when she had, and has, accidents (if she's absorbed doing something, she sometimes forgets still) and were really helpful and supportive. She got there eventually. She was also 'scared' of doing poos but now she cheers herself when she does one. I found it a bit stressful but we got there eventually. Hope its not too traumatic! x

I'd agree older kids can be great teachers, i found toilet training my younger ones easier because they would see older brothers or sisters on the loo and want to try it to, even if they didn't actually do anything
Maybe the nursery will do something similar to what abbie suggested for you , my oldest son would never ask for the toilet when we were out though for ages after he was dry at home , he did grow out of it though, I think it was just a little bit of fear of the unknown . I'd agree not to push it though, just keep asking him when you're out , and sticker charts with little rewards can work wonders too ( I just used to get little cars and crayons things like that for 99p) your parents could maybe try that with him make it a fun experience

BERKELEY -- When John Lennon and Yoko Ono called UC Berkeley radio station KALX on May 30, 1969 to promote their Bed-In for Peace on air from Montreal, the station was just seven years old and broadcasting with 10 watts of power.
This week marks 50 years of broadcasting at 90.7 FM and the station is celebrating with retrospective recordings through Oct. 24 like the Lennon-Ono interview and a treasure trove of others in addition to hosting two upcoming concerts at the Berkeley Art Museum.
The station has come a long way since it started broadcasting in 1962 out of a Heathkit transmitter housed in a cigar box. Today, it pushes 500 watts and can be heard in Berkeley and Oakland while Internet broadcasting brings it to the world. It has more than 100 disc jockeys playing all kinds of music imaginable and runs on a $250,000 budget.
Some of the broadcasting gems likely to air over the next month include a live April 18, 1978 Talking Heads show recorded at Sproul Plaza; a 1976 interview with Eric Idle of Monty Python who speculates on a rumored Beatles reunion (he thinks not); an Aug. 24, 1982 live show of REM on campus; an April 30, 1976 live show with the teen group, The Runaways featuring Joan Jett; and recordings by Iggy Pop and The Ramones.
There's even a song recorded just for KALX by Billie Joe Armstrong of Green Day, who, according to the station's website, spent a lot of time hanging out at the studios before making it big.
In addition to the numerous genres of music played from the 100,000 piece music library, the station hosts student news programs, current issue programs and Cal sports. In a world where music services use computer programs to tell people what they should listen to based on past preferences and where commercial stations play music based on how much advertising they might sell, KALX is a kind of throwback to a "curated" experience where the DJs offer up what they like to share.
"The great thing about KALX is that you may not like this particular song you're listening to at the moment, but you don't want to turn it off because the next song may be the best thing you've ever heard," said general manager Sandra Wasson, who has worked at the station since 1988. "We are not as concerned about our demographic audience as commercial stations are, so we can play what we think is relevant, great music and not have to worry."
Wasson said the station has a rigorous training program for young disc jockeys that results in a culture of education and exploration that avoids the feel of condescending audiophile or some of the awkward amateur moments you get at some other college radio stations.
Melanie Mentzel, of San Pablo, who works in member outreach at Berkeley Community Media, said KALX serves as a good alternative to a corporate world.
"It's local and a different kind of music than you hear from the standard pop station," Mentzel said. "That's what I look for, tuning into something you wouldn't mistake for being commercial. They talk about their passion and turning you on to the next thing you wouldn't find anywhere else." There are DJs at the station with names like Carnacki whose online profile promises "Scandinavian folk, classical ghost stories and cod surrealism" or Leftfield Lance who offers "Psychedelic guitar freakouts, free jazz blowouts, and anything and everything in off-kilter pop, soul, funk."
Erin Prunchak, known on air as Rubberband Girl, said in a world saturated with information, radio listeners benefit from a "curated" experience like the kind KALX DJs are trained to give. Each three-hour show has to span at least three music genres and play tunes from a new music bin.
"There's a flood of information out there, so a human curator is even more important than ever," Prunchak said. "A DJ is a filter, that means a lot to me. What average person has the time to sort through it all? On KALX you find stuff you wouldn't have found on your own."
Nineteen-year-old Lorraine Petel, who just got her own show and who also is the station's publicity director, said when she came to UC Berkeley she knew she would gravitate to the station.
"I wanted to open up my eyes to new music and I knew KALX was the place," Petel said.
She came to the station with a love for punk rock, but recently found she adores funk.
"I don't know how that came about," Petel said. "I dug through the library and found so much awesome music. You learn something here. It's not just about the music, it's about the community."
Albany resident Heike Abeck, who tunes in now and then at home, said she likes listening to young students read the news and the community calendar, some who are very obviously doing their first public speaking.
"They sound like they are getting some good experience," Abeck said.
That's what Wasson said she is aiming for with her work at the station. "I get to see lots and lots of people come in without experience and provide them training, you see people develop and grow," Wasson said. "KALX provides that transformative experience for people."

TEHRAN, Iran (CNN) -- Iran's supreme leader passionately defended last week's presidential election process Friday, praising President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's election as a "definitive victory" and sloughing off charges of vote-rigging.
Ayatollah Ali Khamenei addressed a crowd at Tehran University in a sermon during Friday prayers.
His speech was greatly anticipated amid massive protests from supporters of opposition leaders such as Mir Hossein Moussavi, who disputed the government's assertion that Ahmadinejad won in a landslide.
While Khamenei called on those who don't believe the results to use proper legal avenues, such as requesting the recounting of ballots in their presence, he did not issue a call for a new vote.
He also criticized the street protests and said those who caused violence during demonstrations would be held accountable.
Khamenei said Ahmadinejad got more than 24 million votes, defeating Moussavi, his main challenger.
"Eleven million votes difference? Sometimes there's a margin of 100,000, 200,000, or 1 million maximum. Then one can doubt maybe there has been some rigging or manipulation or irregularities," Khamenei said.
"But there's a difference of 11 million votes. How can vote rigging happen?" he asked.
Moussavi now knows what George Jones has known all along.

Woody Guthrie at 100
As we count down the days to the centennial celebration of the presidency of Woodrow Wilson, let's pause and celebrate another Woodrow Wilson centennial that just passed: October 3, 2012 was the 100th birthday of Woodrow Wilson Guthrie, more commonly known as "Woody."
Woody Guthrie was one of the most talented and influential musicians of the last century.The library offers a variety of books, DVD's, and CD's that feature his music and lyrics. For starters, I highly recommend "Woody at 100: The Woody Guthrie Centennial Collection." While there were many releases this year to celebrate the life and work of Guthrie, none compare to this landmark project from Smithsonian Folkways which features the Smithsonian's own recordings from the Moe Asch Collection, as well as recordings held in their Ralph Rinzler Collection. The book itself is beautiful, and the three CD set contains 21 previously unreleased recordings.
For a more contemporary take on Guthrie's lyrics, and to appreciate the power of his influence on modern day artists, spend some time listening to the "Mermaid Avenue" recordings. Originally released as three separate albums, "Mermaid Avenue" is a delightful if unexpected collaboration between British alt-folk musician Billy Bragg and American alt-country band Wilco. Bragg and Wilco wrote their own music to accompany Guthrie's previously unscored lyrics. The result ranges from fun, uptempo songs like "Hoodoo Voodoo" and "Hesitating Beauty," to slower, more tender tunes such as "Ingrid Bergman" and "California Stars"; songs that will touch your heart with their aching beauty.
If you'd like to learn about Woody Guthrie's life, there's no better place to start then his highly-regarded autobiography, "Bound for Glory," which describes his childhood, and his many travels across the country during the Great Depression picking fruit and riding the rails as hobo. Also check out Hal Ashby's 1976 film adaptation, starring David Carradine as Guthrie. Many of the specific scenes are fictionalized, but the wonderful soundtrack of Guthrie tunes and the amazing cinematography (which won a Best Cinematography Oscar for Haskell Wexler) will not disappoint.
There's much more Guthrie goodness available in the library. If you're interested in exploring, please check out this curated list of Guthrie materials available in the library collection.

The Texas A&M – Corpus Christi baseball team lost a pair of games on Saturday, falling 12-6 against Dallas Baptist in the afternoon, before traveling across town to UT Arlington, where they suffered a 3-0 loss against the Mavericks.
The Islanders are now 6-6 on the season after going winless during the weekend. Dallas Baptist improved to 6-6 on the year, while UT Arlington is now 9-2 in 2012.
Daniel Minor was tagged with the loss to go to 2-1 on the year after being unable to find his control, walking five batters in four innings. The junior gave up six runs, three of them earned, on just four hits by the Patriots.
Trevor Foss took the loss against UTA, pitching six innings and giving up three runs, two of them earned, on three hits while walking five and striking out a career-high seven batters to move to 0-1 on the year.
In game one, the Islanders were able to push across the first run of the contest, with Jeramie Marek leading off the game with a walk. Eric Weiss then singled to left to move Marek to second with one out. Bobby Buckner followed, reaching on a hit-by-pitch to load the bases. Marc Damon then brought Marek home on a sacrifice fly to make it a 1-0 score.
DBU answered quickly, picking up a pair of runs in the bottom half of the inning on three walks and just one hit to take a 2-1 lead.
The Patriots added three unearned runs in the bottom of the second, as the Islanders had trouble defensively, committing two errors that led to the three runs and a 5-1 lead. They added a single run in the bottom of the third to extend the advantage to 6-1.
The Islanders were able to put a run on the board in the top of the fourth when Weston Montgomery drew a walk, followed by a Santiago Ruiz single to move to second. Marek then hit a fielder's choice that forced a bad throw by the Patriots second baseman that allowed Montgomery to score, making it 6-2.
In the fifth inning, the Islanders started the inning with a walk to Weiss and a Buckner double that moved Weiss to third base and put runners in scoring position. Damon then brought Weiss home on another sacrifice fly, with Buckner moving to third on the fly ball, but getting injured on a collision with the third baseman in the base line. That brought on Dan Sciantarelli to pinch run, who then scored on a Kyle Danford sacrifice fly to center to make it 6-4.
DBU put up three runs in the bottom of the sixth to extend the lead to 10-4.
In the seventh, Jonathan Gonzales cut the lead to four runs with his second home run of the season, and second against DBU, to make it a 10-6 game. Damon started things off with a single to right, and after an out, Gonzales hit the first pitch he saw down the right field line for the homer.
That would be as close at Texas A&M – Corpus Christi would get however, with DBU adding a pair of runs in the bottom of the eighth to make it a 12-6 score.
The second game of the day was tight throughout, with UTA scoring their first run in the bottom of the first. The Mavs put a ball softly back up the middle, but Foss was unable to glove it, resulting in the batter reaching on an error. The next batter powered a double to the wall in left center field to score the runner and make it a 1-0 ball game.
The score remained the same until UTA added a pair of runs in the bottom of the fifth inning to make it 3-0.
The Islanders threatened to score in the top of the eighth, getting a runner to second with just one out, but they were unable to bring him home.
Next up for Texas A&M – Corpus Christi will be a Tuesday night game against Houston – Victoria at Chapman Field. Live stats and video will be available for the 6:00 p.m. home game.

(WOMENSENEWS)--By the early 1970s, there seemed to be a 15-year gap from what appeared in ads to what was going on in real life.
Ads that used terms like the "weaker sex" or "little women" offended feminists (and frankly, any forward-thinking woman) who rebuffed the idea of getting married, starting families and devoting themselves to homemaking--exclusive of pursuing an education and a career path. Ads that portrayed women as subordinate to men began to infuriate the "Mary Tyler Moore" and "That Girl" audience of the day. Feminists began to protest these ads as contemptuous for stereotyping women, portraying them as sex objects and co-opting the language of the women's movement while hawking an underlying message that women were secondary to men.
One of the first organized protests was in 1969 in front of New York City's Macy's department store. It was in response to a Mattel ad in Life magazine that pitched its toy products using the following ad copy: "Little girls dream about being a ballerina or a young fashion model, while boys were born to build, learn and find science fun." Protesters claimed the ad implied mind-enriching toys were only suitable for boys, not girls.
And damn, if the protesters weren't right! Women were simply not going to take it anymore. Sit-ins and confrontations over sexist ad campaigns erupted at Ladies' Home Journal, Playboy and Columbia Broadcasting System (CBS) on ads ranging from National Airlines "Fly me" campaign, Clairol's "Does she . . . or doesn't she?" and Geritol and Folgers for ads that blatantly devalued women. Feminists later began placing "This Ad Insults Women" stickers on billboards and posters.
A Defining Shift
A defining shift in advertising arrived via a 1973 perfume campaign for Charlie perfume by Revlon. The revolutionary ads displayed a pantsuited young woman engaging in traditional outside-the-home activities like walking the city streets or visiting a museum. That same year, Clairol ditched the "Does she . . . or doesn't she" hair-dyeing tagline and portrayed women as artists, doctors and politicians, with the feminist-slanted tagline, "To know you're the best." L'Oreal later hit the ground running with "Because I'm worth it."
This type of advertising produced a number of successful brands and sales soared noticeably among the companies using classy pro-women catchphrases and jingles that became so popular, many wormed their way into pop culture. In the late 1970s, ads for
Jean Nate fragrance featured a female jockey and the tagline "Take charge of your life."
Enjoli's famous jingle of the same period, "I can bring home the bacon, fry it up in a pan and never let you forget you're a man," purported to take advertising to and for women by the balls, but nonetheless played to old stereotypes of gender roles. (Sure, it's OK for women to be successful and capable, as long as she knows who really wears the pants in the relationship.)
By the mid-1980s, the message of female empowerment became the standard marketing ploy in hundreds of ad campaigns, something unimaginable just decades before. Not only had dozens of women entered the advertising field and begun their rise to top positions in the industry, but feminism was here to stay and feminists were uncompromising in calling out manufacturers and advertisers when their ads degraded women. By 2005, women would account for over half of those employed in advertising and related fields (52.2 percent), and incredibly, the women who had criticized advertising the loudest beginning in the 1970s were now at the helm of ad campaigns.
Jumping Into the Game
Even esoteric products like credit cards jumped into the game when American Express created the "'80s Interesting Lives" campaign, which strove to position the company's ubiquitous square of plastic as the "it" credit card for young career women and men who lived dynamic and multifaceted lives. The ads showed yuppies, the term of the day, living spontaneously via the two-by-three-inch card, stuffing a large piece of expensive art they just purchased into the back of a convertible, or jumping aboard a plane for an unplanned trip to the Australian outback. Suddenly, women were at the helm of the credit decision: to buy or not to buy, and they held the power. The campaign was beyond successful, doubling the amount of women applying for the American Express card. By 1984, 27 percent of American women carried the blue card compared to 10 percent just a few years prior.
But the flipside of these ad campaigns, which were--by advertising standards--strongly feminist, was the creation of the superwoman complex. Suddenly, suit-wearing, briefcase-carrying, confident women who worked outside the home and raised well-mannered children, kept a spotless kitchen and pleased their man every night was the norm. If we women weren't keeping up with career, kids, cooking and pleasing our husbands, well, we must be slackers, these campaigns inferred.
Women were being challenged to go big or go home, as the saying goes, and this didn't even take into account the ongoing messaging in both ads and magazine content that we had to be beautiful and fit as well as hyperachieving. Who the hell had time to touch up their roots, let alone get to the gym, when we were expected to juggle so much? But while today's ads have backed off this messaging significantly, we're still faced with the ever-present pressure to do whatever it is we do--career woman, stay-at-home mom or independent spirit--looking beautiful, ageless and thin, much like the women who grace the covers of these magazines.
