The Annual Independent Critics List released their updated list of The 100 Most Beautiful Faces in the year 2008. As last year Marion Cotillard occupies the fantastic spot #4 in her 7th year on the list. Obviously beauty lies in the eye of the beholder – and of course we would have placed her at the beginning of the list – but it's great that also others are recognizing her beauty.
A natural beauty who won an Academy Award in "La Vie En Rose"… It was one of the greatest acting performances ever given on screen.
About the list:
The Annual Independent Critics List is Compiled by a Select Group of Up To 25 Invited Judges.
It Has Been Published on the Internet, on Various Websites, Every Year Since 1995.
This list is only about beautiful celebrity faces.
▪ It is not based on the "sexiest", "hottest" or "best body".
▪ You may discover some relatively unfamiliar faces.
▪ It is certainly not based purely on public popularity.
▪ This is not your standard Maxim or FHM or People list.
▪ There will probably be a few big name exclusions.
▪ Over 50 countries are represented in the Top 100 and the Runners-Up list.
Natalie Portman, Rachel Weisz and Kate Beckinsale made the first 3 places this year.

The defense and the FBI go head to head in the Dallas City Hall public corruption trial
D'Angelo Lee's lawyer, Douglas Greene, spent Thursday morning trying his best to make an FBI agent admit that their public corruption investigation of dealings at Dallas City Hall was bogus and they were played by their chief informant, James R. Bill Fisher.
As you can imagine, the FBI agent didn't agree.
At times, the back-and-forth cross examination between Greene and Special Agent Allen Wilson felt like nails on a chalkboard.
Time and again, Greene pelted Wilson with question that he constantly answered "no" to. Like a good advocate, though, Greene soldiered on, in essence making speeches to the jury with the agent rarely agreeing to any of his lines of inquiry.
For instance, Greene insinuated that Fisher approached the FBI in late 2004 complaining that Lee, a former Dallas plan commissioner, was trying to solicit bribes on behalf of former Mayor Pro Tem Don Hill in order to get the focus off himself. Fisher, Greene insisted, was already under investigation for his dealings with former councilman James Fantroy over a security contract.
"After the investigation began regarding Fantroy's company, you got a call from the target of that investigation, of one of the targets?" Greene asked. "No. Mr. Fisher wasn't a target," Wilson testified. His company was, he added.
"The purpose [of Mr. Fisher offering to cooperate with the FBI on Hill and Lee] was to take the focus off Mr. Fisher and that contract?" Greene asked. "No," Wilson answered.
"You were trusting that Bill Fisher was going to do the right thing by the FBI?" Greene asked. "We believed that," Wilson said.
"You allowed him to run amok on these folks?" Greene said, referring to the defendants. "Absolutely not," Wilson testified.
"Fisher was manipulating you the entire time," Greene said. "Absolutely not," Wilson said. "That's your opinon."
When U.S. District Judge Barbara Lynn called the mid-morning break, prosecutor Sarah Saldana said that the government was concerned that some of Greene's questions were coming too close to revealing information that jurors weren't allowed – at this point – to hear.
Earlier in the morning, Greene asked Wilson if the FBI had "previous investigations" concerning Fisher.
He was referring to Fisher's Florida fraud conviction, on which he was subsequently tried on again and acquitted.
Lynn ruled earlier in the case that that information is not relevant to this trial, but that if any of Wilson's answers concerning their dealings with Fisher opened the door, so to speak, for defense counsel to bring it up, she has told the lawyers that she will reconsider. And when Fisher testifies, it may become relevant then, depending on what he says.
But for now, Saldana said that even though the judge asked jurors to disregard Greene's question, it's still in their minds. "I'm concerned that they are going to continue to push the envelope."
"I told you at the bench conference that that was way out of line," Lynn said, addressing Greene and the other defense lawyers. "You may not ask questions about this prior matter involving Mr. Fisher. If you attempt to do it again I'll make sure the jury knows that it's improper."

CLEMSON At Duke last week, Clemson quarterback Tajh Boyd took a shotgun snap and calmly shuffled up in the pocket and around pressure in textbook fashion. He set his feet and launched a 35-yard touchdown pass to Sammy Watkins in the second quarter. Onlookers were likely most impressed with the velocity and accuracy of the pass. Clemson offensive coordinator Chad Morris was most impressed with Boyds feet.
Boyd threw 11 passes that traveled 21 yards or more in the air against Duke. He completed eight of them for 285 yards and four touchdowns. It was the most productive downfield passing game of Boyds career. And while analysts and fans praise Boyds arm Morris said the accuracy and velocity of his throws begins with Boyds base.
Accuracy as the product of proper footwork will again be key today as Maryland (4-5, 2-3 ACC) will bring pressure and mix coverages with 11th ranked defense at No. 10 Clemson (8-1, 5-1) at 3:30 p.m. today.
Its like building a house, (footwork) is the foundation, Morris said. The thing I was most impressed with (at Duke) was his footwork in the pocket. He did a good job of setting his rush point and being able to step up in the pocket, allowing routes to open up and then put a lot of velocity on the ball. The 35-yard pass to (Watkins), it was about head high, and it had some smoke coming off of it.
When you think about Morris you probably associate the Clemson coordinator with his up-tempo and misdirection philosophy. But Morris considers himself more than just a disciple of the Gus Malzhan tree of offensive thought.
Morris considers him a technique freak.
And no quarterbacking technique gets more attention every week in practice than footwork.
Morris said Clemson quarterbacks will do 25 minutes of nothing but footwork on a Monday practice. They will begin with at least another 10 minutes of footwork on Tuesday and again on Wednesday.
And in no area has Boyd improved more than in regard to his footwork, said Morris.
Boyds completion percentage is up from 59.7 percent last season to 67.8 this season in large part due to improved footwork.
Footwork leads to accuracy, Boyd said. There are throws you make without feet sometimes across the body but those are really low-percentage throws. We stress footwork so much in practice its not even funny. Sometimes its all footwork and we dont even throw a football.
All these things, when you get in a game, it becomes second nature.
To Morris it about repetition after repetition in practice leading to muscle memory and 35-yard laser-beam TD passes on gameday.
Those guys that make those throws are confident with it, Morris said. I think you see it with (Boyd). Like I told him today, over these final 19 days, this team will go as we go as a quarterback group.
Note: Clemson will honor Darryl Hill before todays game. The former Maryland receiver was the first black player in the ACC, and became the first black player to play in Memorial Stadium in 1963.

Many things are going on in and around Celtic Park at the moment and it seems that if you are to believe everything,then Doom and Gloom will be arriving at the stadium and going straight up to Tony Mowbray's door!
After beating Hamilton 2-0 at home and having their match at Kilmarnock called off because of conditions around Rugby Park and not actually inside the ground itself, Celtic could only sit and watch Rangers destroy Dundee United 7-1 at Ibrox before all icy roads led to Celtic Park for the New Year derby.
All the big names had gathered in expectation, Rod and Penny, Gordon Strachan, X-Factor runner up and Celtic fan Ollie Murs, Tommy Cunningham and Sean Graham were there also hoping to see a win for the home side.

"KGB Productions premiered its two-year project filmed entirely in Wyoming on Saturday night in Jackson. Appropriately named Wyoming Triumph (and appropriately premiered, perhaps, at The Pink Garter Theater), the film captured one of the worst winters in Wyoming history (2009-10) followed by one of the best (2010-11), going by snowfall totals. Instead of ranting about the highlights of the film—including but not limited to Matt Luczkow's backflip that had to be pushing 100 feet, Trevor Hiatt spinning and flipping off of everything, or the dramatic cable-cam shots of backcountry pillow lines—I thought I'd take a different approach to this review."

FINE Gael Cork South West Deputy, Jim Daly, has said that getting a better deal for Ireland in Europe, finding the most effective way to get our people off the dole and getting our finances back on track is what's driving Government policy.
Responding to a report by Social Justice Ireland about the level of Irish incomes, Deputy Daly said that ensuring a sense of fairness in society is at the heart of everything Government does.
"This Government is engaged in radical reform of the economy, but it is not something that will happen overnight. Ensuring that the weight of our economic burden is borne by those who can most afford it, the Government has introduced a range of measures to protect those on lower incomes and those relying on social welfare."
Deputy Daily said this includes maintaining income tax rates, bands and credits so that people have certainty about their take-home pay and ensuring no reduction in primary social welfare rates.
"We have also removed 330,000 lower earners from the tax net by exempting them from the Universal Social Charge and have reversed the cut to the minimum wage imposed by Fianna Fáil and the Greens," he said.
"We accept that the rate of unemployment is still far too high and that the best way to encourage a person's sense of dignity and independence is through employment. Getting our people back to work is also the most effective way of combating poverty and a culture of dependence. To that end, we have put a number of new initiatives in place to deal with unemployment.
"Pathways to Work is aimed at developing people's potential and finding out the best way to get them back into the jobs market, through consultation and a needs assessment. Springboard is providing access to education, allowing them to upskill and retrain, making them more employable. Job Bridge enables people to get their foot on the ladder and gain the skills they need through internships in the private and public sectors. And through the Action Plan for Jobs, it is hoped that we will get 100,000 people back to work by 2016.
"Increasing Capital Gains Tax (CGT), Capital Acquisitions Tax (CAT) and DIRT to 30% ensures that the wealthy in society contribute more. Reducing the tax-free thresholds for CAT to take account of the fall in asset values over the last number of years contributes significantly to this.
"Personal Insolvency legislation is helping people to find a way out of debt and initiatives such as a the seed capital scheme, the microfinance loan scheme and the partial loan guarantee scheme are make it easier for entrepreneurs to get started and develop market potential so that much needed jobs can be created.
"The Government is all too aware of the difficulties being faced by households and the sacrifices that are being made across the board. That is why all of the decisions are being made in the fairest way possible, so that we can create a better Ireland in the future for all our people."

Thursday, February 7, 2013
Residents of a small neighborhood tucked into the shadow of Memorial Stadium are hoping the town will change its mind about locating a skateboard park near them, but Summerville officials say the park plan is set.
"We're citizens. We pay taxes like everybody else," said Melinda Dingle. Other neighborhoods have shot down plans to locate skateboard parks in their areas, yet when she and her neighbors expressed the same concerns about traffic, noise, trash and vandalism, no one listened, she said.
"They're saying there's not many votes (in this neighborhood) to lose," she said.
Mayor Bill Collins, who confirmed Wednesday the park is on track for construction, said the town must provide outlets for residents of all age groups, and this will give many young people somewhere to go.
The park is "nowhere near a house," he said. "I don't think they'll even know it's there."
The park is planned for a triangular parcel bordered by Richland Street, Magnolia Street and the Berlin G. Myers Parkway.
Besides, Collins said, if they can live with the noise of thousands of football fans, then a small skateboard park shouldn't faze them.
But that's exactly the point, residents said.
They moved there knowing the stadium was there, but the fact is that they deal with the noise and traffic of the stadium and three schools – Spann Elementary, Summerville Elementary and Rollings Middle School of the Arts.
It's unfair to add yet another public facility to the small area, they said.
The garbage after games is horrible, said R.D. Maner-Praileau.
Georgana Campbell said the effects of the skateboard park won't be limited to its actual location.
Kids will be skateboarding down Richland Street to get there, adding to the danger of the street and potential litter, she said.
The neighborhood has asked for speed bumps to slow down drivers cutting through from the parkway to Main Street, Campbell and Dingle said.
The town pleads poverty when the neighborhood asks for those improvements, yet it has the money to build a skate park, Dingle said.
Many people in the neighborhood have deep Summerville roots.
Campbell was born and raised in the neighborhood and lives there still.
"We've been here. We're the old people of Summerville," she said.
Dingle's house on Richland Street sits on land given to her as a wedding gift. Her great-great-great grandfather had a house on the land, she said.
She owns the wooded lot next to her house, and adjacent to that is a wooded lot owned by a cousin. She thinks those woods will prove an obvious restroom in the eyes of skateboarders at the park, which is planned without restroom facilities, and she thinks they'll leave empty drink bottles behind, as the park won't have drinking fountains.
Given that residents of other areas were able to stop the park from going into their neighborhoods, it begins to look like a racial issue that the town finally decided to place it in a black neighborhood, Dingle said.
The idea of a skateboard park has been floated for some time, but Summerville began seriously considering it last year.
The town settled on a triangular parcel near Spann Elementary that was owned by the school district.
Skateboarders raised money to defray the cost of building a park, but most of the estimated $50,000 cost will be paid with municipal park impact fees.
Parks & Recreation Manager Doyle Best said construction could begin this month. Once construction begins, the park should be completed fairly quickly, so he hopes it will be open by the summer.

I wish I could bet that the majority of bettors will be taking the over (209). Warriors play the Heat on Saturday, Bobcats have Saturday and Sunday off. Will the Warriors pace themselves and will the Bobcats try to push the pace past the sound barrier? Maybe the W's will put everything into beating the Bobcats because the chance of beating the Heat on Saturday is less than the Bobcats creating a sonic boom.

Longtime executive to serve as Manager, VP of Artist Development at top entertainment company
Starstruck Management Group proudly announces the return of longtime music industry executive Kelli Haywood in an exciting new role with the company, effective immediately.
Haywood, a former member of Billboard's "30 Under 30" and Vice President at Warner Music Nashville, returns to Starstruck in a full-time role after founding her own artist management agency, KCH Entertainment, a year ago. She continued to serve as a consultant to the Blackstocks. Before that she served a two-year stint as Starstruck's Vice President of Marketing and Partnerships.


text: Assume the existence of the following Java GUI application. There are two text fields for user input. The first JTextField variable is named radius and is used to input a radius value. The second JTextField variable named height is used to input a height value. All input values and calculations use floating point values. The user clicks a JButton to perform a calculation. One JButton called area causes the program to calculate and display the surface area of a cylinder, A = 2 * pi * r * r + 2 * pi * r * h. Another JButton called volume causes the program to calculate the volume of the cylinder, volume = pi * r * r * h. The result of the selected calculation is displayed in an output text area variable named output. The output string should say something like this: "Surface area of a cylinder with radius 1 and height 1 is 12.57." The output should display two digits after the decimal point. Clicking one of the buttons generates the event which causes the program to do the selected calculation and update the output area. Assume the user interface has already been implemented and the member variables listed above exist.

General Disarray
July 18, 2010, 02:15 AM
Just trying to figure out the details about DS Arms STG58 FALs. I'm meeting a guy tomorrow to buy his "new/unused" STG58. This might be a dumb question, but does DS Arms just make the barrel and receiver and put them onto used parts kits? Or, is the whole rifle new? If it is on a kit, is the kit a used one? Is the stock going to have dings and scuffs, etc? The ad on their sight (http://www.dsarms.com/STG58--Austrian-FAL-Standard-Rifle-308-Cal-----STG58STD/productinfo/STG58STD/) for them has me confused as it seems to read that the only new parts are the barrel and receiver. I can't figure it out from what the info I'm gathering here on the Inter Webs. :confused:

BC Experience
Just curious how many of you already have or seriously hope to go BC. It looks like a blast, but a lot to learn before heading out! Maybe you have some tips on beginner BC adventures?:thumbsup:
If you have a cool enough resort that has inbounds backcountryesque feel just try doing a few runs that are inbounds but only accecible by hiking. If your local mountain has lift accessed backcountry just take small trips in and maybe talk to local ski patrol for tips.
Ive done both its fun
never go "exploring" even in a group.. at least one person in your group should be very knowledgeable about the bc you are heading into and it def varies from mtn to mtn. personally i feel comfortable going bc at brighton and the canyons simply because i know those areas best and know how current daily conditions will effect the avvy conditions of the last few days. i know what slopes get sun when which wind load under what conditions. If i went bc somewhere else id want someone leading me that had that same amount of knowledge about that area.
of course all thats just local.. i really would like to one day hit something in alaska or south america with a good guide..

I've got about 40 days in the backcountry this season alone. Hundreds over the last six years. It's where I prefer to ride. Resorts are such a junk show, that the only reason I go to one is typically to access the slackcountry or ride with my lady. Otherwise I'll hit the bc.
Backcountry varies by region. Out on the east coast, most people that go out in the backcountry don't carry beacons, shovels, probes, etc, and for most areas they don't really need them. Emergency provisions, first aid, sure, but avalanches are not really a problem. That changes in a few spots, such as Mt Washington, the 'dacks, and the Chic Chocs. There is serious avalanche danger at those spots and you should have gear and knowledge. I'm sure there are some other ranges that have dangers out there, I am just not familar with them.
Burrito is pretty spot on. You need to have a partner. It helps to find someone that is experienced and will take you under their wing. Lack of that, find a reliable partner, read a book, go take a level I course. Then you can put that knowledge to practice, the more effort you put into your education the more you will get out of it. You also have to be willing to go out some where and turn around and leave. I've had around 6 missions, where I hiked for miles to get to an area, only to walk away because of the red flags we were getting. Sucks to put all that sweat and effort only to get skunked. Better to live to ride another day.
Fortunately, that is more the exception than the rule. Learning how to travel safely in the bc opens up a huge world to you. I've got 10X the terrain open for me to explore without the shit show that is the resorts. Trips to other place suddenly become a whole different dynamic, when you don't have to rely on a chairlift to get your turns. Riding in the backcountry, especially if you have touring gear (splitboards) really becomes a brotherhood. If you can show knowledge and respect for the terrain, it is very easy to meet people at spots that are new to you and travel with them. I had a great day my first time in the bc around Little Cottonwood Canyon. A teleskier couple invited us to tag along on their tour and we made fantastic turns and had a great time with new friends. The skier/snowboarder bullshit that can exist at resorts, just doesn't out there. Sure some people may have a notion that boarders aren't fit for the bc, but most of them change their mind after you put in the same effort they do and then rip turns with them. I think I've seen that once.
It's a different game for sure. Ski patrol isn't right there to scrape you up if you get hurt. There is a much higher chance that you can get killed if you make stupid decisions. So you need to learn how to make sound decisions. EVERY single avalanche accident this year, happened because someone made a bad decision. Every one of them. In fact you can look back at reports for every accident recorded and find the mistake. This doesn't mean you or I won't make one, but look back at them an learn. Some of them are things you would have never of thought of until you read about it. It's all about stacking the odds in your favor. The only sure fire way to survive an avalanche is to never get caught in one. That is what I strive for.
Once I turn 18, I'll probably venture up into northern michigan to experience this...
Mount Bohemia - Extreme Skiing - Michigan's Upper Peninsula
No grooming what so ever.
I've only done one day of real BC so far, and a few days of sidecountry(?) and lift accessed BC. So far it's been great, and I'm planning on doing a lot more of it next year.
oh would love to give backcountry a try but wouldn't even know where to start. Haven't heard of much in Aus I'd have to ask around at the local boardstore about for some spots. What the situation on your board? Can you get away on a normal all mountain or need a pow dedicated board.
(Woohoo! Finally back into positive credits.)
Steep and Deep snowboarding camp
May I recommend the Jackson Hole Steep and Deep snowboarding camp? Why not go with the best guides in the industry and learn from the pros. There is no better way than to learn safely from your own experiences. Check this full trip report I wrote.
Jackson Hole Steep And Deep Snowboard Camp :: Snowboard Revolution
Note the area inside the green lines is in bounds and outside the circle is Back Country. Jackson Hole has a lot of it.

I see where you are going with this, although your argument loses strength when its only ok for Apple to do this outside these obvious limits to set the standard. Pretty sure if Samsung had patented a shape or disappearing graphics before Apple, you would be calling bullshit...
quote: I personally hope Apple win but I trust the process whatever the outcome.
quote: The only fair and sensible way to judge whether limits have been overstepped is in a court of law. Which is precisely what is happeng.
quote: What also astonishes me is how many Americans have become so deranged that they actually support a Korean company ripping of an American company. Apple is a great, successful and growing American company, there aren't too many of them left, I would have thought any American with a shred of affection for their country would not want to see one of it's leading companies ripped off.

quote: Judge Koh just denied Apple's request for sanctions after Samsung's theatrics on Tuesday. She is reserving the right to address them afterwards. She made it a point to stress that Samsung's evidence being excluded is a "situation of their own making," and that Apple had had evidence excluded for the same reasons as well.
quote: Much like a once profound character such as the now exiled attorney Jack Thompson who was disbarred from just flat out badgering, crusading, and insanity against the games, movie and music industry.
quote: ...Koh will be impeached before too long.Most of the other judges out there acknowledge that Apple has exploited and abusing the US patent system.Koh is obviously Apple biased and likely a paid schill or on the take from Apple execs. The corruption and fraud she is commiting in the tech industry is so obvious, even her peers are starting to question exactly wtf she is doing.She's corrupt. Plain and Simple.Much like a once profound character such as the now exiled attorney Jack Thompson who was disbarred from just flat out badgering, crusading, and insanity against the games, movie and music industry.. he will meet a similuar fate as far as the judicial system goes, likely impeachment or the inability to participate in these cases again at the very least.

Body, Inc.by Alan Dean Foster
New York Times bestselling author Alan Dean Foster has always been on the cutting-edge of science fiction. In Body, Inc., he creates a tomorrow where genetic manipulation has become ubiquitous, and the very meaning of what it is to be human is undergoing drastic transformation. In a world deeply wounded by centuries of environmental damage, two unlikely souls join forces: Dr. Ingrid Seastrom has stumbled into a mystery involving quantum-entangled nanoscale implants--a mystery that just may kill her. Whispr is a thief and murderer whose radical body modifications have left him so thin he is all but two-dimensional. Whispr has found a silver data-storage thread, a technology that will make him wealthy beyond his wildest dreams. He is also going mad with longing for Dr. Ingrid Seastrom. Their quest to learn the secrets of the implant and the thread--which may well be the same secret--has led them to the South African Economic Combine, otherwise known as SAEC. Or, less respectfully, SICK. SICK, it seems, has the answers.Unfortunately, SICK has also got Napun Molé, a cold-blooded assassin whose genetic enhancements make him the equivalent of a small army.

Call to Arms: Book 1 of the Damnedby Alan Dean Foster
The being was seriously injured and yet it still talked of the unthinkable, allying with humans!
The Candle of Distant Earthby Alan Dean Foster
From science fiction legend and New York Times bestselling author Alan Dean Foster, creator of the ever-popular Pip and Flinx series, comes the climactic final novel in The Taken trilogy, his electrifying space epic about a man and his dog for whom the expression "out of this world" takes on a whole new meaning. Location is everything. In Chicago, Marcus Walker was a hotshot commodities broker. In the cargo hold of the alien Vilenjji spaceship, he and a laconic dog named George, who has been speech-enhanced to increase his value, are just two more primitive creatures being shipped to the civilized part of the universe, where the market for cuddly extraterrestrial "pets" is busting wide open. Though Walker and George manage to escape, man and dog are far from overjoyed, being even farther from Earth-billions of miles, in fact-and without a clue as to whether the direction home is up, down, or sideways. Possessing universe-level social skills, Walker becomes the leader of his own armada. Yet even a fleet commander is hard pressed to find a piece of space that no one's ever heard of, much less cares to find. To make matters worse, it seems the Vilenjji are proving to be notoriously sore losers. Even if Walker does pull off the impossible and pinpoint his needle of a solar system in the universe haystack, there's a good chance that the unrelenting Vilenjji will get to him before he ever gets to Wrigley Field. Yep, it's a wide-open universe out there, bursting with possibilities- and Walker's going to get hit with all of them. From the Hardcover edition.

The Deavysby Alan Dean Foster

But Simwan Deavy's life isn't normal. His family is non-Ord--short for "non-Ordinary"--which means that at school, he and his sisters learn hexing and enchanting along with history and math. It also means they have a ghost for an uncle and a cat who talks. Still, everything is going well for Simwan--until a bottle of Truth is stolen from the local pharmacy. Now the Deavys' favorite woods are under threat from development; their mother, whose life depends on the Truth, is growing weaker; and the world as they know it might never be the same.

But the insectlike beings are nearly forgotten with the sudden discovery of an ideal planet to colonize-Argus V-and the startling appearance of a new race of space-faring aliens.

For their worlds will be changed forever by a colossal battle that is their future and their destiny . . .From the Paperback edition.
Diuturnity's Dawnby Alan Dean Foster
In nearly two dozen novels about the Humanx Commonwealth, Alan Dean Foster has fascinated readers with his brilliantly imagined interstellar realm-where humans, thranx, AAnn, and other species strive to work together to put the common good above selfish ends. But renewed efforts at cooperation prove that familiarity breeds contempt. Diuturnity's Dawn is the third thrilling novel in The Founding of the Commonwealth, a spectacular space adventure that traces the perilous early years of this remarkable universe.From the beginning, while sharing the Orion Arm of the galaxy, contact between humankind and the thranx has been tenuous at best. Yet nearly a century after first contact, the likelihood of closer human/thranx relations is as far away as ever. Humans still find these insectlike beings physically repulsive, a distaste the thranx return in kind. At times the cordial veneer barely conceals the suspicion and distrust boiling just below the surface.Yet idealists on both sides refuse to surrender their dreams of achieving a thranx/human alliance. Among the most dedicated are a minor diplomat named Fanielle Anjou and her thranx counterpart. Others intend to make sure such a liaison never comes to pass . . . by any means necessary.For these xenophobes, the upcoming Humanx Inter-Cultural Fair, the first wholly cross-species event, is a hideous confirmation of their worst fears. Zealots on both sides vow it will be the last of its kind, no matter how many must die. In the coming conflagration Fanielle holds the key to triumph but only if she can outwit those desperate to silence her forever.Meanwhile, on a faraway planet, the duplicitous AAnn watch intently as archaeologists labor to discover what happened to an advanced human race that perished thousands of years ago. For the answers contain grave consequences for human, thranx, and AAnn alike . . .From the Hardcover edition.
Drowning Worldby Alan Dean Foster
Alan Dean Foster doesn't just build worlds, he creates entire universes. Book by book, his star-spanning saga of the Humanx Commonwealth has evolved into one of science fiction's most notable achievements. Filled with rigorously imagined aliens and sophisticated cultures, spiced with humor and passion, and driven by relentless adventure and intrigue, Foster's remarkable Commonwealth series just keeps getting better.They call it the Drowning World. It is Fluva, a planet on the fringes of the Commonwealth where it rains torrentially, ceaselessly, and maddeningly for all but one month of the Fluvan year. Chief Administrator Lauren Matthias is fairly new to the position. Her primary goal: keeping Fluva's indigenous species, the warlike Sakuntala and immigrant species, the timid but hard-working Deyzara, from annihilating one another.The wettest place on Fluva is Viisiiviisii, an immense, mostly unexplored jungle. Thanks to the endless rains and humid conditions, exotic animals and plants have thrived there, many of them deadly predators. Yet the same evolutionary process responsible for creating toxic creatures has made the jungle a treasure trove of undiscovered botanicals potentially useful in engineering everything from pharmaceuticals to perfumes. A man can get rich there. Or die trying.Bio-prospector Shadrach Hasselemoga has come to the jungle to get rich-- if he survives the terrain once his sabotaged ship goes down. When a Sakuntala and a Deyzara are dispatched by Matthias to rescue the unfortunate soul, their ship crashes, too. Now, in order to survive, the three unlikely allies must do something that no one has ever done before: walk out of the Viisiiviisii.Meanwhile, in what passes for civilization, long-simmering tensions between Sakuntala and Deyzara erupt into violence, threatening Matthias's official position of neutrality--and her life. Behind the violence, Matthias detects a mysterious presence, one related to Shadrach's disappearance. But how are the two related? The answer, when it comes, will send shock waves through the entire Commonwealth . . . and beyond.From the Hardcover edition.

KEARNEYSVILLE - Excited shouts rang from the gym of North Jefferson Elementary School as students sang and danced their way to learning math skills.
Stephanie Pasley debuted her Math Party program at the elementary school, describing it as a "motivational musical method of mathematics" designed to excite students about learning math, a subject Pasley admits is difficult to make interactive.
For two days, Pasley performed her program for students, administration and faculty and parents, displaying how combining math songs and dance moves engage students in math in a new way.
Article Video
Math Party
"It's for all grade levels. We have different programs for different grade levels. It was originally made for elementary, but now middle and high school also order (the program)," Pasley said.
During the assembly, students learned original songs and dances describing math skills such as place value, measures of time and fractions.
North Jefferson Elementary School Principal Mary Ann Jenkins said the students really responded to the assembly and displayed a level of excitement for math that has been missing from the classroom.

Stephanie Pasley teaches students at North Jefferson Elementary School how to learn math skills by dancing and singing through her program, The Math Party.
"When she got done, I had a lot of kids coming up to hug her and saying thank you, and I was looking at the kids who I know are not confident in math, they hate math ... and they were just so thrilled. I just think it's another good thing, it's not something that's going to hurt them," Jenkins said.
Jenkins first learned of Pasley's program through an education conference in Washington, D.C.
Jenkins plans to use The Math Party program in grades three through five as a supplement to the current math curriculum, reinforcing students' basic math skills.
"I found that when the kids take the (WESTEST 2), we had a lot of kids that missed math mastery by one point or eight points. When I was looking at some of the questions, it was things like if they didn't know their multiplication facts, well, they were struggling. They need to really be solid," Jenkins said.
The Math Party learning tools include student and teacher books, DVDs and CDs and some programs include flash cards. According to Jenkins, DVDs will be made available for students to take home and review with their parents.

Very interesting report and an issue that we HAVE to address this year. BYOD needs to be locked down.
Malware attacks up by like 185% - and I'm sitting here downloading any cool app I see (w/o a password). Yeah, I guess it's safe to say I might be an issue for my agency too.
This is a big deal. Which agency will land in the Post this year for a security breach on their smartphone?
Thanks. Think the productivity angle is important to pull out here and keep in mind - this is why we need to lock down the security issues.
We see this in every company we do business with. The " Lock down" should be considered as a priority for those who want to safe guard their content and the internal social interactions. No one ( USERS) wants two devices to deal with. It the tools we use to build content and issues like online vs. available when not connected. Therefore the "downloaded" content becomes a threat. Its easier to safe guard content with a secure connection ( Banking Industry ) . Looking forward to this call ! David

JEFFERSON COUNTY, Alabama -- Two Jefferson County women have been arrested after they brandished a gun in the parking lot at Pinson Valley High School while there to challenge another parent to a fight, authorities said today.
Just before 3 p.m. Monday, a teacher at the high school alerted the school resource deputy that an armed woman was in the parking lot. The deputy went out there and ordered passenger Katrina Conley, 24, of Center Point, out of the car. The woman was irate, said Chief Deputy Randy Christian, and got out of the car yelling and cursing. She was arrested for disorderly conduct.
Lawmen searched the car and found a .45-caliber handgun inside.
The driver, 45-year-old Barbara Jean Conley, was arrested for menacing and carrying a pistol without a license. Barbara Conley, authorities said, has a child that attends the school.
Authorities said the Conley women were upset about a neighborhood conflict that had nothing to do with the school and had gone there looking for someone involved.
Prior to the gun being seen, Christian said, Katrina Conley had approached a female parent and challenged her to a fight.
"The parent wisely left the parking lot and went inside to alert the administration," Christian said.
Both Conley women were booked into the county jail, and released on bond late Monday night.
No one was injured.
Christian said additional charges may be brought against Katrina Conley by the parent she threatened in the parking lot.
"Thank God there was one parent with a cool enough head to walk away and alert the right people about what was happening. Hot heads and guns are a dangerous combination and to have that happen where school children are nearby is awfully disturbing,'' Christian said. "With all that's happened across the country with schools and guns, it's just beyond ridiculous for anyone to brandish a gun on school grounds, most especially a mother. We have zero tolerance for that."

In the soon-to-be-released independent film Hick, Chloe Moretz plays a teen who escapes from her abusive, alcoholic parents. But in real life, the actress's family plays a much different role.
According to Moretz, 15, her family is the reason she's not dating anyone.
"Because of my four older brothers, it just doesn't go down," she says in the May issue of Seventeen. "I had a lot of friends and guys that I think are cute and stuff, but it doesn't really work out with the family and all. My family's a bit too big and a bit too abrasive."
If she did have a boyfriend, however, there's one activity that would likely be no competition.
"I probably play video games more than any guy does," Moretz tells Seventeen. "I just got my phone back yesterday. My mom had it for like two days. I was supposed to read a book and I really wanted to play Call of Duty. It's not like I want to go read the hot story in Cosmo. ... No, I get caught playing video games."
But she's not all tomboy: Moretz, who also costars with Johnny Depp in Tim Burton's upcoming vampire flick Dark Shadows, said she developed quite a sisterly relationship with her Hick costar, Blake Lively.
"[Blake] wears the most amazing clothes every day of her life," Moretz said. "I went into her closet one night when she was trying things on for an event, and she was getting dressed, and I was helping her choose what dress to wear. She had brought probably a hundred pairs of Louboutins, and she was like, 'Try these on, try those on.' We basically had a little shoe party!"

Global Family Reunion: A Recap
We had a great time at the Global Family Reunion last week!
Hosted by best-selling author A.J. Jacobs, this epic event brought thousands of "cousins" from around the world to the New York Hall of Science for a family fun day of activities, while raising money to benefit Alzheimer's research.
The MyHeritage and Geni teams had a special tent to let people explore their family history. Continue reading "Global Family Reunion: A Recap" »
Millions of Geni profiles now available on SuperSearch
We're happy to announce that as of this week, you can search 138 million Geni profiles on MyHeritage's SuperSearch.
Soon after acquiring Geni in November 2012, MyHeritage provided Geni's users with Record Matches and Smart Matches powered by MyHeritage. We added this to enable Geni users to benefit from historical records - something that hadn't been available on Geni before - and discover new relatives and ancestors through matches between their tree and the 25 million trees on MyHeritage.
This week we completed reciprocating this benefit for MyHeritage users, and now they are able to search Geni profiles on MyHeritage, and receive automatic matches between their family trees and Geni. It took us some time to add this, because we implemented a robust, real-time "bridge" that constantly updates MyHeritage SuperSearch as changes are made in the tree on Geni. The updates stream to MyHeritage every second but SuperSearch is updated in bulk once a day with all the changes. This prevents information on MyHeritage that originates from Geni from ever becoming out of date.
Now that the Geni profiles are available on SuperSearch, MyHeritage users will start receiving matches with Geni trees. This is a great benefit for users of either service, as both will now be able to expand their trees, find new information, discover new cousins and learn more from each other.

MyHeritage acquires Geni.com
We're thrilled to announce today that we've acquired Geni.com, the Los Angeles-based family tree network. Geni.com is one of the leading family tree websites and it has established a very strong global brand since its inception in 2007. We're really excited to welcome Geni.com's talented team to the MyHeritage family.
This is great news all round! As a larger community, the users of MyHeritage and Geni.com can expect to benefit greatly from this acquisition. Users of each website will now receive matches with the family trees of the other website, and MyHeritage's Smart Matching and Record Matching technologies will benefit the Geni.com users, who will get access to historical records never available before on Geni.com.
This is our eighth and largest acquisition yet. It comes at a time when we're rapidly growing, adding more records, and offering additional technologies to help you make family history breakthroughs.
The websites of MyHeritage and Geni.com will be kept separate and the users of MyHeritage will not experience any changes in how they use MyHeritage. If you already happen to have an account on MyHeritage and on Geni.com, they will be kept separate.
We thought you may have some questions about this acquisition and hope this post will answer them. For more information, you can read the official press release here.

Bachelor's Degree, Business, DePaul University
Other, Business, Stanford University
Retired Corporate Vice President, W W Grainger, Inc
Married, Phyllis
On the Record
What experiences do you have that make you a good candidate for office?
A solid background in business, education and government provide me with the needed experiences to be re-elected as Mayor. I started as a clerk and 36 later retired from the same company (Grainger, Inc.) as a Corporate Vice President. In that time, the company grew from $25 million to over $7 billion. I was able to grow professionally and personally. My education at DePaul and Stanford Universities also provided me with necessary tools in management for both business and government. After I retired, I have served as a Village Board Trustee for 8 years and currently I\\\\\\\'m in my fourth year as Mayor of Fox Lake. Added to this, I have a firm family foundation consisting of my wife , 5 sons and 9 grandchildren.
What are your top two or three priorities if elected?
My top priority is to continue to actively market Fox Lake as a destination point for visitors and a good place to do business. In June 2011, I spoke at a conference in Chicago to over 90 investors, business owners and developers on the subject \\\\\\\"Municipal Development Opportunities\\\\\\\". The result was interest from 4 hotel developers and 2 restaurant groups. We since have received letters of intent to locate both a hotel and a restaurant in Fox Lake. My second priority is continuing to work with staff and the Village Board monitoring and keeping tight control of our finances. It was my first priority in my last campaign. At the end of 2010 we had fund balance of $175 thousand. As of December 2012 we had increased it to $3.9 million or 2 1/2 months of payroll and operating costs. We had a balanced budget for the past 2 years and will have one for the next year. The third priority is to continue expanding communication in the Village. We\\\\\\\'ve conducted 5 open meetings, attended by over 50 people each, including residents and business owners seeking their input on concerns and how to improve the Village.
Would you support freezing your taxing district's levy until housing prices rebound? Why or why not?
Yes, I support a freeze on our taxing district's levy. Fox Lake has both a high unemployment rate and a high rate of foreclosures. Until the overall National and State economies start to improve and is reflected in Fox Lake , I'm not supportive of any tax increase.
What one decision by the village board do you most disagree with and why?
I cannot say I disagree with any of the Village Board's decisions in the past. The issues are thoroughly thought out and openly discussed. While I may have a different opinion on one or two issues, I respect and support their majority votes.
What was the biggest accomplishment of the board in the past year?
As discussed in priority number 2 above, getting our finances in order, in my opinion has been our biggest accomplishment. As a result, the Village has been rewarded and recognized by Moody , an independent rating company, with an upgrade to A1. This confirms and indicates to me that we are on the right financial track .
Why should voters elect you to office?
I'd like the voters to continue to vote for me because of my love of this town and personal commitment to see it grow and prosper. I've been either living or visiting in Fox Lake along with my family almost 50 years. I'd like to see some of the thousands of people who pass through Fox Lake on their way primarily to Wisconsin make this their destination point. In order for this to happen, it's been my goal for 12 years to have our town recognized as a friendly community with a small town character, along with a healthy business climate to be a be a good place to visit and call home.

BAZETTA - Township police blotters normally consist of petty theft at Walmart and expired vehicle registrations along Elm Road - not murder. In fact, in the past two decades, only a few incidents have even been linked to homicides in the township.
The death Saturday of 4-year-old Charles N. Patin was ruled a homicide by blunt force trauma to the abdomen. Scott Henry Walker, 33, is facing murder charges for punching the child in the stomach, leading to his death.
Before this, the most current incident dates back to 2008.
"We haven't had a murder in at least 20 years," Bazetta Detective Joe Sofchek said.
