I'm back on 2.6 for production machines, but now I'm working on some
testing XP clients. These clients are joined to a NT domain (a Samba 3
NT domain) with roaming profile. Samba username and password match the
corresponding MIT principal.
I expected to have an integrated logon gaining the kerberos ticket as
if it were a local user, but unfortunately, leash comes up asking for
principal and password.
Moreover, there's a weird behavior. The AFS integrated logon works like
a charm gaining the token for a user without any password, both a local
one and a NT domain user with a roaming profile. Still leash doesn't
show any ticket, but only the AFS token. Note that I'm not running
kaserver, but a pure MIT KDC.
Am I missing something really obvious?
Thanks to anyone!

NASHVILLE, Ga. — Headquartered here in rural South Georgia, Harveys Supermarkets has created a marketing strategy that understandably caters to its small-town traditional roots. Yet Harveys, an 81-store division of Delhaize America that includes 70 Harveys and 11 Reid's supermarkets, is savvy enough to know that even rural shoppers are gravitating to big-market high-tech tools, which are increasingly factored into marketing plans. Such traditional and modern approaches are part of what Lisa ...

Here's another example of a simple web-deployed applet; this one is a paint-based graphical version of our first lab, where we promoted a "clicked" window to the front of a list of windows. This version, in addition to being graphical, includes some enhancements to make it feel more realistic, namely close boxes and draggable title bars.
(The windowing style used here is reminiscent of old-school Macintosh windows of the pre-OS X days. The pastel colors are an homage to the original candy-colored iMacs. My wife says they look like sticky notes on the Mac … and they do! Perhaps I should add a text feature.)
To use the system, click on an inactive area to start drawing a window, dragging to the desired dimensions (they must be above a minimum 12-by-12). You should see a red rectangle while dragging, as a preview of the final window. "Active" areas include the close boxes and titles bars of existing windows, which can be used to close or re-position those windows. Clicks in the non-active areas of existing windows will promote them to the front of the window list, and they should be re-drawn that way. Currently the windows drag without promotion, which doesn't reflect typical real-world window system behavior; there are also no draggable resizing controls on the sides or corners.
I am not releasing the source code to this project yet, as I may want to have you write something similar yourselves.

Høyer and Lund1 reported finding only one study "focusing on the importance of parenthood related to suicide," proposing theirs as the "first prospective one [of a large size] focusing on the association between family size and suicide among women." In our review of risk factors for death by suicide,2 we noted several investigators since Veevers3 have reported evidence suggesting that parental status is a better demographic marker for decreased suicide risk than marital status (ie, those with responsibility for young children are at lower risk)4,5 or have offered the same hypothesis as an explanation for their findings.6
Nonetheless, the Høyer and Lund study constitutes a remarkable contribution to the epidemiology of suicide. By tracking an entire population of women (almost 1 million) of known marital, childbearing, and parental status for 15 years, they show that married women without children were more likely to die by

A successful consultation begins with the referring physician's obligation to have the facts clearly in mind when making the first telephone call. He should know whether he wants telephone advice, a bedside visit, or treatment for his patient at the consultant's center.
If a bedside visit is decided on, the physician should have the chart and films reviewed and marked, the family on site, and any local consultants alerted. On arrival, the consultant interviews the physician, studies the data, and examines the patient in private. He can learn whether the patient is satisfied with the local care or wishes to be transferred. Next follows a frank discussion with the referring physician and then recommendations to the family. Finally, at the bedside, the consultant gives his opinion in simple, reassuring language. He must remember that the patient is terribly sick, perhaps mortally so and should not add to the patient's torment

Hola ladies.... How are you all?? I know I have been absent from blogaville for ages now..am really really sorry. I missed you all..so sooo much. There are lods of products to be written about....I promise to be a bit regular from now on.*tch wood* I will try my best to post 2-3 reviews a week. I hope you guys continue to support (bear with) me :)
On a happy note, today am going to share with you one of my favorite hair product till date. It's the L'occitane Repairing Shine Hair Mask for Dry Damaged Hair. I am really lazy about DIY masks ( or any other stuff for that matter)..hence am always in a look out for good hair masks . If the product is good I don't mind shelling out few extra bucks.
I had read some pretty good reviews about L'occitane Hair Masks and thought of giving it a try. I had bought it last year around June/July.. and after using regularly (once in a week) I have managed to finish only half of the product .
Price : Rs 2050 for 250 ml / 8.8 oz
Claims : Particularly recommended for color and chemically-treated hair, this hair mask nourishes and deeply restores capillary fiber. Repairing, stimulating and regenerating, it protects against the damaging effects of environmental stresses. This rich and silky cream leaves your hair shiny, soft, and smooth.
How To use : Apply to towel Dry hair twice a week for 5-10 minutes and then rinse thoroughly
Ingredients :
What I Love about L'occitane Repairing Shine Hair Mask :
- Gorgeous fragrance. I can't actually describe but it has a luxurious feel about it.Very rich.I don't feel its overwhelming in any way
- It's a moderately thick cream. For my medium length hair ,I need about a tea spoon of the product. I use it only on the hair ends and along the length of my hair. Never near the root ( As I have oily scalp)
- It smoothes out tangles, gives a nice volume and shine to my hair
- My hair feels really soft ,silky and is managable
- It did not weigh my hair down or make it limp
- I use it once/ twice weekly. Its a lot of product but a very little amount is needed. Hence even after 6 months of use..I have half of the product left with me :D
- Silicones and other chemicals
- Big plastic jar packaging with a screw cap..cumbersome to use in shower with wet hands
- Dipping finger everytime to get the product out...ugghh..It shoud come with a spatula
- If used in excess amount ,it would make hair limp
- Price. ( As its a luxury brand and the product really worked for me..I don't mind) But it used to be around 1800 Rs earlier... :(

Some teens may have thought about dating violence before.
After reports that a popular singer was assaulted by her boyfriend in February, however, teens started talking about it more openly.
"The Chris Brown / Rihanna situation, as horrible as it is, has helped to shed light on teen dating violence," said Nottingham High School health teacher Lucia Ashley. "They're more open with discussing it now. The change has occurred because it has been out there in the media."
Rihanna, a singer known for her songs "Disturbia" and "Umbrella," was unable to sing at the Grammy Awards ceremony Feb. 8 because she had been in a hospital. Her boyfriend, singer Chris Brown, was charged with assault and making criminal threats.
In the weeks since, three of Ashley's students have approached her in private to talk about specific acts of dating violence among teens.
"I've always had students come to me" with such issues, she said. "This year, I've noticed that they're more open to discussing it."
Ashley, a Nottingham teacher for three years, spearheads her school's contribution to the White Ribbon Campaign, which both raises awareness of domestic violence and raises money for Vera House. Each year, the campaign enlists high schools in a competition to raise the most money for the campaign. The winners, one Syracuse school and one suburban school, each win a dance, with entertainment and food provided. Nottingham has taken the city crown in recent years, Ashley said.
The alleged assault against Rihanna "has helped to bring the reality of what the campaign goals are to the students of Nottingham High School," Ashley said.

Toddlers Recreate Scenes From This Year's Oscar NomineesSelena Mills
Sunday night is the 86th Academy Awards. You know, the Oscars. I've never been big on awards shows — but I might tune in to some live streaming action on the grand Interwebs, just to see Jennifer Lawrence's antics. And everyone loves Ellen Degeneres, so…
Ah, who am I kidding? I'll wait for the best clips to come out on Monday morning via YouTube. And the GIFs for some extra chuckles. (I'm counting on you, JLaw.)
For now, I'm making do being highly amused with these toddler siblings "reenacting" classic scenes from nine of this year's nominees. Clearly, they had a little help. Three-year-old Sophia and 2-year-old Sadie look like they were very cooperative helping their mother Maggie Storino recreate some of the best of the best in movie scenes that this year had to offer.
The toddler years are, after all, so very short, as everyone keeps telling us. We're supposed to savor them, which I wholeheartedly agree with. (I also fully endorse bitching about them, too — perhaps not always specifically, though. No one wants to hear about my kids' poo. Do you?). So, since time is racing by… when are we going to get the chance to dress our kids up? Now, when they don't really have a choice in the matter — albeit for our own selfish forms of entertainment.
It's not so bad anyway. I myself am a fan of said type of "shameless" coercion. For now, it would seem, most toddlers love dress-up.
Here's to Halloween being every day.
First up, we have a scene from Oscar Best Picture Nominee The Wolf of Wall Street, recreated by Sophia…
My next personal favorite from the collection is Sophia as Bradley Cooper in the Oscar-nominated American Hustle. C'mon. You smiled.
And my third favorite, Sophia replicates a scene from Oscar Best Picture Nominee Her.
What do you think? Funny or no?
You bet there's more. See the rest over on Daily Mail!

Bunraku is the Japanese form of puppet theater. Japanese consider it as a serious art form and not as entertainment for children. Bunraku is more than making puppets appear lively on a stage. It is also narrative chanting and shamisen music, by which the Japanese puppet theater is accompanied.
First Publication: November 2002
Latest Update: May 2013
Bunraku puppets are pretty different from the ones known from European puppet theater.
First of all, the Japanese puppets are big - up to nearly life-size. And secondly, the mechanism of Bunraku puppets is more sophisticated compared to their mechanically challenged European relatives. A Bunraku puppet cannot only move its arms and legs. It can roll its eyes or form its fingers into a fist.
I recommend to watch this video ducumentary about bunraku from the beginning to the end. It is an excellent introduction to the subject. Thanks to worldmusicxx for sharing this with us.
No strings attached to Japanese Bunraku puppets! When Sandie Shaw had her number one hit in 1967 - Like a Puppet on a String, she probably had never heard of Japanese puppets. Bunraku puppets are not manipulated by strings from above a small stage window. They are rather displayed on a normal theater stage by one to three puppet operators - the puppeteers. And the puppeteers are fully visible!
Next to the puppeteers comes the joruri performer. He is the great story teller and singer. The joruri narrator recites the story in a mixture of chanting and emotional telling. Narrators must have a strong voice and be able to get emotions across to the audience. Good narrators can create dozens of teary eyes or a big laugh in the audience in no time.
Next to the joruri narrator sits the shamisen player - another indispensable element of bunraku. The shamisen is an old traditional Japanese string instrument. It looks like a fancy three-string guitar and is pretty long.
The shamisen music is more than just some background entertainment. It has a similar function like the orchestra in an European opera. The music supports the action and the mood required by a special play or scene.
The narrator and the shamisen player must be a good team. The harmony of their performance is important.
Bunraku theater as it is known today, is about 400 years old - roughly as old as its big cousin, the kabuki theater. Compared to its snobbish, aristocratic relative, the noh theater, which traces go back to 1375, it is still pretty young in age.
As for the plays performed on bunraku stages, the situation is similar to their kabuki and noh relatives. Classic is best! Although new plays have been written after the war, the oldies and goodies from the 17th and 18th century are the ones performed most often.
One name should be mentioned - a famous playwright named Chikamatsu (1653-1724). Chikamatsu had written plays for the kabuki theater in the 17th century. Later he became interested in bunraku and wrote many of the classical stories.
The official Japanese administration tries to preserve and support the old Japanese cultural heritage. Bunraku is among those art forms which were declared an intangible cultural treasure by the government.
Today Osaka City has a large, modern bunraku theater for up to 750 spectators - the National Bunraku Theater. It is the largest in Japan and was founded with government support. Another large theater with bunraku performances is the National Theater in Tokyo with four performances per year - not much for a big city like Tokyo.
Depictions of Bunraku puppets have been a popular subject for woodblock prints - although not as frequent to be found as Sumo wrestlers or images of courtesans. In the 1950s the artist Sadanabu III, Hasegawa, 1881-1963 designed a series of bunraku puppets, which was published by Uchida in Kyoto.

Sony A7 Review
Latest Camera Reviews
Panasonic Lumix DMC-G80 Review
Your Comments
12 Comments | Newest Oldest First | Post a Comment
Quoting the first sentence of the review: "The Sony A7 is the world's first 35mm full-frame compact system camera (along with the A7R that was launched at the same time)."
No, neither the A7 nor the A7R is the first full frame interchangeable lens digital camera+system.
That first would be the Leica M9, released in the fall of 2009.
(I don't want to read a peep about auto focus here.)
Sorry for translation in english by Google translator.
The recordable pictures in their test should be testimonials about the sharpness of the camera - you published blurred images (example picture 26, 31), usually you used fairly closed iris values that show only limited the power of the lenses due to increasing light diffraction at the aperture blades - anything - so I think - quite carelessly shot and also very unprofessional to see how powerful the camera / lens combination is. Please use a tripod. Examples with full aperture, as examples in the first third aperture range (ie, 4 to 5.6) in order to achieve better performance with the lenses. Sorry for my strong language, but I find it a shame that their otherwise good side shows such examples.
Has Sony updated the firmware on this/NEX's yet to allow setting of a MINIMUM shutter speed .. if not then its still a nightmare using manual lenses on these cameras !
Sony typically (NEX) allows the shutter speed to fall to 1/60 sec before ISO'ing up so if you are using manual primes then in anything other than bright light its a real pig to avoid motion blur
i guess on the A7 in FF mode you dont have the 1.5x crop so at least the issue isnt as bad as on the NEX
Come on Sony get your ass in gear and firmware update the NEX/A7 for this !
The key word is Compact System Camera (CSC), which Leica is not
What do you people really think about this camera???
I've seen a few sample images and compared them to the same image shot with a Canon Eos 5D MkIII and with a Nikon D610.
The result is that the images of the Alpha7 had more noise most noticeable from ISO 3200 and on…(in RAW).
For the price it has, the only advantage it has over a Nikon D610(and Canon 6D) is the 300gr weight difference and its size.
You can have very good lenses on any of them, for less money.
Heck! Not having image quality in mind even the OMD EM1 might be a better choice.
I've even heard some people talk about focusing problems with the A7.
I'd like to know what Photography blog and its readers have to say about all of this, because on the other hand it does look like a great camera.
First, thanks for the great review. You did a great job, and the review has been helpful. Secondly, I am trying to figure out certain features of the a7, and the manual is utterly useless. I realize you are quite busy, but I at my wits end! How does one use the face registration AF?! Does it only work in certain modes?! I can't find any instructions that actually help. Really, all of my questions relate to the interrelationship of the many different focus settings - facial recognition, focus tracking, adjustable focus points - nothing Sony provides gives me any help on how these different settings work and/or work together. If you can point me in the right direction, that would be brilliant! Thanks again!
Using non native manual focus lenses is not a nightmare ,as Willy Müller wrote. With S mode and AutoIso.You can set easily speed and aperture.
A good additional battery and charger cost 15 Euros.The issue does not deserve to be mentionned.
This camera is awesome! The creative options seem endless especially when you use a lens adapter.
Right now i'm hooked on manual focus with my Canon 50mm 1.4 mounted with the Vitrox adapter.
The results speak for them self.
Totally awesome camera. Amazing ISO performance.
Chinese batteries are less than 10 bucks / each :O)
A bit late to the party with this one but my flickr link below shows the image quality comparison between the A7 and a NEX6. Not the most technical test but the results seem very close indeed! For many people the jump from a NEX6 or similar aged camera to an A7 is often thought about but I'm not sure it's worth it really, see what you think yourself…
This link should work better…
Thanks so much for a fantastic site with great reviews.
I have one quick question for you: I'm a DSLR débutante and about to buy my first camera.
One of the things I'm wanting to experiment with is making films.
Would you think the Sony A7 is going to serve me better in both short/long run cf. the Canon 750d that I'm also considering?
Thanks for your time
Nick Franks

Klamath Falls, Ore. - Dutch Bros. Coffee Donating All Proceeds Toward School Supplies for Kids02-Aug-2013 Klamath Falls, Ore. (Aug. 2, 2013) — On Monday, Aug. 5, all five Dutch Bros. Coffee locations in Klamath Falls will donate all the day's proceeds to the Department of Human Services (DHS) 2013 Back to School outreach program.
The Back to School outreach program is working to collect school supplies and gently used clothing for local families who have expressed a need.
"This is a really neat program," said Dutch Bros. Regional Manager Jon Aslakson. "We are really hoping the community gets excited about it, too, and comes out to support the cause that day."
Dutch Bros. Klamath Falls locations are located at 5805 S. 6th St., 201 6th St., 3041 S. 6th St., 3600 Washburn Way and 2568 Campus Dr. The location at 201 6th St. is open 24 hours, and all other locations are open from 5 a.m. to 10 p.m. on Monday.
In addition to making a monetary donation, all locations will be drop sites for donations of school supplies and gently used clothing.
DHS Community Development Coordinator Jill Sipes says their goal this year is to assist over one hundred local families with school supply needs. DHS in Klamath Falls serves over seven thousand local families.

April 29th's 19-inning game against the Angels has become a major turning point early in the season for the A's. Although they squeaked out a win in the wee hours, the injuries suffered have had significant ramifications. Prior to that game, Oakland was hitting .254/.346/.421 as a team. Since then, those numbers have fell to .228/.324/.346 with a record of 4-6.
While injuries are never a welcome sight, it remains far too early to draw major conclusions on this version of the A's. Missing three of team's top-four outfielders, Coco Crisp, Chris Young and most recently Josh Reddick – who went back on the DL to deal with his reoccurring wrist issue – means the team was likely to hit a rough patch.
Also, allowing Brett Anderson to have time off to recoup from his ankle sprain should yield dividends. The offense has been great this season for the A's – the team still leads baseball in runs despite scoring just eight times in the four games in Cleveland. It's been the starting pitching that remains the club's major bugaboo so far.
It's been reported that Jarrod Parker left his most recent start with a neck strain, which in a way is a good sign for the A's. Given his 2012 season and the fact he hadn't been stretched to that extent since undergoing "Tommy John" surgery in 2010, Parker's early-season struggles could have been sourced by arm fatigue. A neck strain is a much more mild problem and could be resolved by getting skipped in the rotation or being placed on the disabled list retroactive to Monday's start in Cleveland.
If Oakland can take these few weeks to get the top of the rotation completely healthy, that will be a huge step forward heading into the summer months.
A product of all the injuries to outfielders has been the promotion of Daric Barton back to the major leagues. Barton was having an outstanding season with Triple-A Sacramento both at the plate and in the field and is given the opportunity to reassert himself as a major league player. Injuries and varying circumstances have hurt Barton over the last few seasons, but it should be remembered that in 2010 he was arguably the team's most valuable player, getting on base at a .393 clip with a WAR of 4.8.
Barton's promotion has forced the Athletics to undergo a sizeable transformation to the 25-man roster. Brandon Moss has moved back to the outfield, Yoenis Cespedes has moved back to center, and Luke Montz becomes the team's third catching option with the flexibility to play first base and DH. Nate Freiman is also still in the fold.
The Mariners (16-19) are returning home after a 3-2 road trip in Toronto and Pittsburgh and are in the midst of a nice 8-4 stretch. The team's pitching staff has been very good, allowing an ERA of 2.97 and 90 hits in the last 106 innings.
Friday night's first game will have Dan Straily (1-0, 5.94 ERA) take on Hisashi Iwakuma (3-1, 1.61 ERA). Straily is coming off a decent start in New York where he allowed three earned runs in 5 1/3 innings in the team's 5-4 win. He threw just 85 pitches, allowing 11 fly balls to four on the ground.
Outside of his first start of the year Houston, Straily is still looking to get comfortable in the big leagues. Friday's start will be his third in the club's rotation meaning he should begin to feel more comfortable. The key for Straily, as always, is fastball command and staying out of the big part of the strike zone, where his four-seam fastball is very hittable.
With Triple-A Sacramento earlier this season, Straily mentioned that his stuff wasn't as explosive as it's been in the past, but he felt progression in that department each time out.
Iwakuma is off to a tremendous start to 2013 and has been one of the best starters in the American League so far. His ERA is good for fourth and he's allowed a microscopic .166 average against. His walk rate is below two per-nine-innings. His .191 BABIP signals he's due for natural regression as the season goes along, but his deception and pitch variation should help prevent that.
Saturday's game will feature Parker (1-5, 7.34) and Brandon Maurer (2-4, 6.07). Maurer – the 22-year-old rookie - will be pitching on pitching on 10 days' rest after getting skipped in the rotation following his poor start against the Orioles. He lasted just four innings and allowed four earned runs.
The Mariners clearly think highly of the young right-hander, having promoted him to the big leagues after never pitching in Triple-A. With Double-A Jackson last year, he went 9-2 with a 3.20 ERA, allowing 133 hits in 137.2 innings with a 1.32 WHIP. Maurer throws mostly fastballs and hard sliders while mixing in curves and changeups.
Assuming Parker is healthy enough to make his next start and his turn isn't taken by Sonny Gray, he'll be looking to bounce back after a rough start in Cleveland where he allowed four homers to the powerful Indians' lineup. If the club decides to give him a rest, there's a chance Sonny Gray could make his Major League debut while the team could demote a position if Parker doesn't hit the disabled list.
Sunday's contest will have a pair of lefties in Tommy Milone (3-4, 3.13) and Joe Saunders (2-4, 6.15). Milone's continued to throw better at home than on the road, but pitching in Seattle should resemble pitching in Oakland closely. He pitched well against the Mariners in his first start of the year, notching his first victory by throwing seven innings of four-hit ball, allowing a pair of earned runs.
In his brief career, Milone is 2-1 with a 2.84 ERA at Safeco Field.
Saunders is coming off a rough start against the Blue Jays, where he allowed seven earned runs in just five innings. It was his third start in which he allowed seven or more earned runs, but he's also had three starts allowing two or less. Saunders was Milone's opponent in the April 3 game the A's won 6-2.

Hey guys, to clarify,
When I created this new Servlet, I DID not re-deploy the war file. I simply did this:
1. Stopped the server.
2. Edited web.xml with the servlet mappings (above).
3. Uploaded the new Servlet class file to the server.
4. Started the server.
Do I need to actually re-deploy this war before it will see this new Servlet?
Any ideas would be helpful!

What is in this article?:
- Sunkist passes 118-year mark riding strong
- New directors
- For the second consecutive year, Sunkist Growers generated more than $1 billion dollars in overall revenue.
- Grower payments for crops sold totaled $803 million.
"For the second consecutive year, Sunkist Growers generated more than $1 billion dollars in overall revenue," Sunkist President and CEO Russell Hanlin told members as he summarized the 2010-11 operating year at the company's Sherman Oaks headquarters on March 1. "Your cooperative is in excellent financial shape and is extremely well capitalized with close to $80 million in member equity and virtually no debt."
In other positive news, Hanlin reported grower payments for crops sold at $803 million. This was up $14 million over the previous year, yielding the best results of the past three years. He also noted that citrus juice and oil sales generated $88 million – the best results in more than a decade.
Reviewing last year's results, Hanlin said that the sales team overcame the challenge of moving a 93-million-carton Navel orange crop − the largest in history − which delivered a large percentage of smaller sized fruit. To add to the difficulty, heavy rainfall adversely impacted the overall fruit quality. "Despite nature's handicap, export shipments were some of the highest ever achieved," he reported. Sales summaries for other citrus varieties showed increases over the previous year for Valencia oranges, lemons and limes, grapefruit, mandarins, tangerines and other specialties.
"Sunkist's role is to create grower value," Hanlin said, "and we do this is in a variety of ways starting with the value we create with the fruit you grow." A recent change to Sunkist's Citrus Juice & Oils business, which processes by-products fruit, is expected to yield positive results, he said. "In 2011, we entered into a joint venture with another processor, Ventura Coastal, in what we believe is a fabulous deal for both companies." The new 50%/50% joint venture processing company began operating both Sunkist's Tipton facility and Ventura Coastal's Visalia facility on February 1, 2012. "The operations of the two plants are extremely complementary," he added.

Hi everyone,
I am new at being a Leader of the Junior Troop. I am trying to understand the what journey books are and also the badge books. Do they go together. I know there are all kinds which journey book would you recommend to start with. I need to learn the in and outs of being a leader of a troop. I know I start with a meeting right? What should be talked about in the 1st meeting? Iam super excited and Iam trying to learn and get advice on how to start leading a troop as a first time leader. I would greatly appreciate your feedback. Thanks ;)
Thanks Nancy, it's been a trying year. I will let my SUM and mentor know about the situation, as the mom has a girl that will still be at the Jr Level next year. My daughter isn't interested in Cadettes at this point, and they also have a Cadette leader that is totally capable at that level. I will be a helpful parent if Sydney does decide to move forward with scouting, otherwise, I will be happy to serve in another role.
Our council is moving to "communities" and districts vs. service units, so there are lots of chances to volunteer. I do feel a bit bad that there is not likely to be a Jr troop in our area next year - no one else has stepped up - so we are encouraging the families to think about a troop in a different school district or to do camp/series/event/virtual/travel pathways.
Most of the families have been really great throughout the year. The tough part is that I used to consider this mom in particular a friend. Her daughter was in my first brownie troop a few years ago, we live fairly close to each other and I helped out with rides, bringing her to my house, etc. But somewhere along the way things changed and I think that's why I am taking it personally. But now that it's out of my system, I am ready to move on!
We aren't doing an end of year big outing, just not enough time. I think I will offer to pay for reg fees for girls next year instead. We are doing a sundae party at our last meeting, and at awards ceremony I will give each girl a CD with photos and a personalized note from me in addition to their earned patches and goodies.
Wow Danielle! Sounds like the experiences you've been having recently are what I lived through all year. My co-leader and I spent the year focusing on trying to get the girls to just be respectful toward each other and to us. We did not concentrate on Try-Its but more on bullying, problem solving and working it out.
I did end meetings early a couple of times because of the girls' behavior. However, I emailed the parents immediately afterwards to let them know what happened. My parents were generally very supportive and understanding of my decisions. I did have a few phone calls with some and often got positive feedback and assurances that they would reinforce our insistence on respect.
During our next-to-last meeting, I tried to talk to them about planning the end-of-year ceremony and fly-up for two of our brownies. They were so disrespectful that I told them I would not plan it and if they wanted a ceremony, they'd have to do it themselves. My daughter, also an offender, was very upset because she was supposed to fly-up.
They were perplexed but I stood firm. I did show up at the time and date I set aside for the ceremony and was greeted by a few parents and the girls. They had planned a little ceremony for the new Juniors. It won't go down in the ceremony hall of fame but it felt good for them and me that they took on the responsibility.
It's hard when parents don't understand or support the concept of girl scouts. I would enlist support from your SU manage or other troop leaders. You'll find that a lot of troops experience what you do.
My next year's plans are similar to yours but I have an easy out because we're likely going to change my daughter's school and there's a troop leader in place there. I'll gladly help, though.
As for end-of-year activities, if you have photos from throughout the year, you could have the girls make scrapbook pages to give to one another. Good luck and have a relaxing summer!
Just a quick note to vent in a safe space...I only have one more troop meeting of the year (then I am DONE with leading the Junior troop)....and I have to say I will miss the girls, but not the drama with some of the moms. It's hard not to take things personally when they don't understand why things happen in a certain way, or that you didn't do every little thing in the way they would have preferred. Do they not understand these are volunteer positions, and that we add this on to our already busy lives?
I gave space to a mom (and myself) last week when she said that she sensed irritation in an email I sent to her following a phone conversation. I wanted to quickly touch base when she picked up her daughter from troop meeting to clear up - but she sent her husband instead. I emailed her this week to say that I appreciated her feedback and would prefer to talk in person or by phone to follow up on discussion. She said she had no desire to do so and just wanted to drop it. But she said it in one of those ways that implied that she could care less, not the sense that she understood where I was coming from. Oh well. I tried.
Anyone else having these issues? Or have advice? I am ready to move on from this position as a leader. Will still stay involved in Girl Scouts, but at the district or council level.

Sun Jul 29 2012 (Updated 07/31/12)Proposed Cell Sites Threaten Santa Cruz Wildlife Area; Demonstration at Verizon Wireless
Residents of Santa Cruz County concerned about health, privacy, and the environment, as well as those who enjoy the beaches of the north coast free of cell towers and other industrial equipment, demonstrated in front of Verizon Wireless's retail store on Pacific Avenue in downtown Santa Cruz on Saturday, July 21st. The protest raised awareness of the company's plans, along with NextG corporation, to install six new cell sites along Highway 1 and Swanton Road in the county's remote north coast region.
Demonstrators say the North Coast Cell project is a threat to views, endangered species and resident safety. The California Coastal Commission is expected to decide whether to issue a coastal permit for the project at its meeting on Aug. 10 at the Santa Cruz County building. A large community presence is anticipated.

Eating purple-colored fruit may prevent Alzheimer's and Multiple Sclerosis and Parkinson's Disease, according to a new study by the University of Manchester.
Researchers say fruit such as blueberries absorb harmful iron compounds in the body that produce toxins. Certain toxins are believed to cause degenerative diseases.
The new study is the first to show a link between the wrong form of iron and many diseases. It also found that other brightly colored fruits and vegetables may also be beneficial.
"We normally think of iron as something that is good for us. And, in the right form, it is," lead researcher professor Douglas Kell told the London Daily Mail.
"But in the wrong form it is not good for you because what it does is react with things that are always knocking around in the body to make something very nasty indeed," he continued.
The British Alzheimer's Trust says there's no evidence that iron causes the disease. The trust said regular exercise and a healthy diet may cut the chances of getting Alzheimer's.
The study appeared in the Journal Archives of Toxicology.

Crapola - Larry Barnette taught my pio-school in 1993 yup all sisters were naked in his eyes... I always felt like he looked DOWN at everyone

They are all under the control of the tower. What they do or say is of that mind set. Casino I think actually lost it. I think there is some Co's in the organization who are thinking they are doing good but realise they have only done damage when looking back. I believe Casino is one of them. Yeah and his wife was a bit ( saying this nicely) crazy.
Eiben, I LOVE your name!!
Rodrigues was/is a dickhead. I thought he felt like he was owed something because of his early life of not having much.
John Casino was a throwback of the 50s. He and his wife loved the $$$ people and we tended to be their "friends" while they were in the circuit. actually, I was fond of him. He was a bit strange and weird but I think he was a heartfelt person although most couldn't stand him. I saw some qualities that were more human, more emotional.
Dentler was a sing songy company man. He wasn't a bad guy, just a typical Society man. He followed the letter of the (society) law. I believe Fred and his wife have died.....I had met "Payne" in the Ass as he was called. EVERYONE I knew thought he was a condescending jerk.
Illingsworth was a kewl guy. I became very friendly with him and we got together even outside of his DO responsibilities. He was quite social. I think he knew that not everything about the "Truth" was true but I understand he's a bigshot in Bethel now. At least he's got a place to love.
Don Emshoff was one of my favorite personalities. I heard he recently got married after being single for 70+ years. Has anyone else heard this?
Doubting Bro
darth - I've had R.L. Jones before. I liked him but not everyone did. He could come out with some crazy stuff! I remember arguing with him over something and he's the only CO I've ever met who actually conceeded that he was wrong and apologized. I didn't know what to do!
I couldn't stand Terry Angelacos. He went after POs like a hippo goes after a zebra. I heard he was in poor health. Good.
Eiben Scrood
minimus - I agree that John Casino was a good guy. I think that he turned some of his talks into comedy shows just to keep things interesting and fun for him. I think his first talk he gave was on slang. I don't think there was really any point to the talk but it certainly was funny. I also remember his pointer that he loved to use. He twice counseled me on not having a "pioneer haircut" - LOL. His wife OTOH was just about universally disliked.
Dentler did nothing for me. I remember though how infuriated I was when he insulted the intelligence of all in the audience by insisting that NOTHING had changed with the new 1995 generation doctrine. Gimme a break! That was the beginning of the end for me.
Another name comes to mind - Don Amy and his wife Natasha. They were friends of my parents. Does anybody recognize their names?
Eiben Scrood, welcome to JWN! Like minimus, I love your user name. And luckily for me, at least, so far in this thread, I don't recognize any of these people -- Yay!
I knew Dentler in his pre-CO days as a special pioneer. His first wife Loretta died of breast cancer. I think he remarried not too long ago. Condillis was interesting. Had him as a CO then a DO. His philosophy was (expressed to us in an elders meeting) if any of the friends have problems in their life just tell them to pioneer and all their problems will go away. He told a circuit assembly audience in Crownsville AH that "the hedge is down" and we are all fair game for Satan. Lot's of tears and fear after that one (it didn't help when I was telling everyone that we really never had a hedge around us in the first place).
Jones was a character. He married a thirty-something sister in his 80's which prompted his immediate release as a DO. He gave a hall dedication talk after that wearing a tuxedo and a pair of white tennis shoes.
If that's not rebellion, what is?? This Jones guy seemed funny, whoever he is!
Anybody know a Chris Jones??
Don Amy
"Barbara Anderson has released her nearly 100-page commentary found on the CD, Secrets of Pedophilia in an American Religion, Jehovah's Witnesses in Crisis, for general distribution.
Found in this Commentary are specific, extraordinary copies of court documents indicting Jehovah's Witnesses leaders as responsible for making it possible for multitudes of JW kids to be molested. As an example, read the letter from District Overseer, Donald Amy, to the Watchtower, as seen November 21, 2007 on NBC Nightly News, when the secret out-of-court settlement made by Jehovah's Witnesses with victims of molestation in February 2007 was discussed. "
See page 30-35 in this document
Anybody remember a Brother Fur (sp?) in the pacific NW in the 60's. I was really young but I remember people talking about him when he decided he was a remnant andhis wife was really pissed about it.
Mostly I equated their "visits" as totally messing up the week, changing meeting nights etc. I didn't have anything much to do with them.
Casino I think actually lost it.
I heard that also. I heard he was depressed and wouldn't leave his bed for months. Anyone know what happened with him?
Eiben, hello & welcome.
A CO down under that was a large influence was Br Slaiman, he is no longer in the org, moved back to Sydney from Melbourne and faded due to differences with the society over dates and teachings, supposedly.
JWfacts, hopefully you may know him as it was a big deal when he left the borg. Would love to get in touch with him.
Yup, consider the word "simony". The Society brought up the issue of simony but (typically) failed to speak bluntly about its application.
I bring this up because of Rodriquez and other egocentric itinerants who appear to exploit the Circuit Overseer 'system' by offering subtle favors to brothers who had money and could offer benefits to the C.O.
Do you ever wonder why you see the same old brothers on the assembly program over and over? Do you ever wonder why Sister Welfare's kids get df'd in a heartbeat while Brother Elder-CashFlow gets every bit of mercy and understanding for his family problems? His weed smoking kid? His pregnant daughter?
Enjoy your golf games, Brother "Rodricks". And the 'green' handshakes and the meals at the best restaurants.
Thanks for the Dom Any link, Blondie. We had him as a DO. :)
magwitch, did you know that Bro. Emshoff is no longer in the circuit work, where did he get married? Do you know? By the way, he was my CO for a short time. He replaced the CO that was terminally ill. It was Joseph Scagloni (sp?)
Bttt again. I know there's another thread about Eastern U.S. COs, but I want to throw a few names out there to see if anyone recognizes these:
Tim Friebus
Eric Hermanson
Ray Hayes
Frank(?) Hans
Terry Barnes
There are more, I'd have to really jog my memory...
midwest representing here
don sheldon... so "new" i had no idea wth was going on; when he came to my "study" (organized to accomplish brainwashing) he told me when out in FS it was never worth the time to argue with a trinitarian.... he had a memorable voice
archie datok... wife mary, they were sorta fun; we hosted a dinner/game night for them and mary sent all the men and children away and told a very funny off-color joke..... they had to leave circuit work to take care of her parents or so i heard
mark spencer.... kicked the BoE's collective ass because of the malaise in the congro... an elder we were friendly with let that cat out of the bag; i had broken my ankle in a motorcycle accident prior to a "CO" week and his wife (jane?) told me a few stories of her pre-b0rg life, riding motorcycles down country roads with "boys"
rob burdges.... nice enough guy, cannot remember anything outstanding about him.... pretty sure his wife (annie?) was one of those "only drinks bottled water" types
the last one before we faded completely was
a japanese-american, tommy ????
no clue since then

Update: There Was No Heartbeat
I wasn't prepared to do this yeaterday. Not that I am today. But I figure I'll just rip the band off, so to speak.
We went in for our ultrasound. It was a vaginal one. The nurse couldn't find the heartbeat so she brought the dr in. He couldn't find it either and declared the baby no longer alive. I was supposed to be 10 weeks yesterday.
We have some tough decisions to make now. Please be patient with me, this is a tough time for our family.
Oh, Heather....I'm so sorry that you have to deal with this.
I'm so sad to hear this. Grieve your loss. Whatever you feel is allowed. This is a painful loss and my heart aches for you. Hang in there.

Prior studies on option backdating have focused exclusively on the initial backdating investigation announcements. We extend the analyses to consider the outcomes of the investigation as well. By examining the market responses both to the initial investigation announcement and to the investigation outcome, we provide an evidence that the market may have overreacted to the initial investigation announcement. Our results also show that the media bias in covering more bad than good news may have contributed to the overreaction. Finally, we re-examine the issue of management motives, focusing on firms which were found to be guilty of intentional backdating. No prior study has addressed the motive issues with the sample of "true" backdators before.

Megan Fox Caught Moaning
Megan Fox was caught moaning in the GIF below. Though I would like to think she is moaning in pain from being tortured for her various crimes of morality against Islam, I fear that these moans are disgusting displays of female sexual pleasure.
Leave it to a contemptible harlot like Megan Fox to enjoy sex so brazenly. A pious Muslim man could still bed Megan Fox, but only if he pretended that her moans were of pain. Of course when sex is done correctly according to the Qur'an, foreplay is a sin, and the first few thrusts should cause great discomfort to the woman for that is pleasing to Allah.
She's moaning because she finally caught a look at her own toe thumbs after years of clinical denial.
"Oooooh Ooooooh I have fucking TOOOOOOES for thumbs. Oh oh ooooooh."
So Sexy!!
I bet Allah's pussy gets wet seeing her moan like that. It's hot.
Hate it, Love it.. It's still a obsession. Why you guys so obsessed with Americans? You know, if i don't like something… I don't view it, listen to it etc.. Maybe you guys should stop acting like you know what you're doing and what you're doing is right. Grow up and act like a real Muslim
Thanks for the GIF, It's saved now.
So, what movie is this from??
I can't believe so may people buy your jihad troll act. Way to go whitey.
Abdullah The Butcher
Get back to your "thunderbird" and hoops you dumbass google.
You wouldn't know the truth if it was stapled to a welfare check.
Eat shit and die blackie mofo
Because people who use the word Google are the picture of elocution, class, and breeding.
Abdullah The Butcher
big bitch
And white girls who fuck googles are mud sharks.
Have a shitty day mud shark.
eat shit and die mofo
b lack b itch
Ya like googles have so much elocution and class. The only thing googles can do half way decent is breed like fucking rabbits. 9 year old googles are shitting out parasites like a pez dispenser.
Ali bin-Fuqrab
Who are you calling whitey CRACKA!
Yeah OK, go get yo'self a fo-ty of malt likka and get some bumpin jamz on. Then kill yo'self. I try to speak your Ebonics but it's hard for those of us who speak actual, civilized languages.
Praise Allah for giving us such a wonderful GIF
dreaming is fundemental
What did you want to say, really?
" various crimes of morality against Islam"
Huh? Like what? By being a bad actor? That's not considered a crime in any religion, as far as I know..
"Though I would like to think she is moaning in pain from being tortured for her various crimes of morality against Islam"
Kill yourself, just because you see something as being wrong doesnt mean it. I believe your Quran is wrong and teaches hate towards cultures that do not follow its teachings, and you know what…Thats no better then the Spanish Inquisitors. You're all just praying to a false deity anyways.
that's the most pathetic post I've ever seen. Full of paranoia and just shows lack of understanding of Prophet's teachings. Durka sounds like a Jew – most likely went out to fuck a goat right after posting this picture… read between the lines – he got real hard on from this *.gif.
"Abdullah the butcher" sounds drunk and as if he ate pigs shit. Or perhaps he's got pigs twisted dick stuck up his fagot's ass.
Bottom line is, learn to read and most of all, understand – stop being just puppets on the string that don't even understand that they repeat bunch of stupid one liners created to please idiots.
You don't even know what you're talking about – shut up and suck pigs dick.
Abdullah The Butcher
true asshole
You need to look into a mirror, if you want to see a pathetic sight.
eat shit and die mofo
Abdullah the Gargler
I prefer the dicks of goats-the smell reminds me of my uncles balls-praise allah!
You should know how goats dicks and your Uncles balls smell…..you should enjoy that fragrance, since thats what you usually smell like !

You lazy mofos need to stop swatting flies all day and screwing your gorilla tittied women and do your own work.
dat is wrong
Abdullah The Butcher
yabba dabba do
Fuck you asshole.
If you want to dig a well for those lazy googles…..then haul your ass over there and get to digging.
Otherwise…shut the fuck up
Suck on it!
If you want to see the funniest video ever google "67 year old beat down". I laughed my ass off until I couldn't laugh any more. Some old geezer beat the shit out of some 20 something loudmouth google.
Right head giving chimp you show pleanty of class right! Fucking retard.
Abdullah The Butcher
zuluman the fag
You fucking liar!
I thought you said that pic of Queen Miley's crotch scared you so bad you weren't coming back.
You must have some damn jew blood mixed in with your google heritage…you are just like those land stealing mofos. Once you plop down on someone else's property…you stay forever. I guess when you combine a google and a jew you get the ultimate thief.
eat shit mofo
KKK the head giving chimp and KKK abdulla the kunt. that's what the fuck the two of you are and you know it pair of retard inbreed mother fuckers. class right! spell queen fag. fuck you and that whore who gave birth to you.
Abdullah The Butcher
zillaturd and happy cock sucker
You two assholes are one and the same.
When Islam takes over…I will personally supervise your trial in Sharia Court.
By the way…I have already determined the verdict; which is guilty.
Think about it sperm guzzler….think about the stones.
Happy Infidel
You tell 'm zillaman!!
it's eazy to come back and shit on you abdulla the cunt, oops i meant KKK abdulla the cunt…
true story. a shit talking whit guy thought he would never get his ass beat, then one day he pissed off the wrong white guy causing the white guy to beat him like a read head step child then some. a feew min. pass the white boy diden't learn his lesson kept talking shit the other white boy that beat him then came back to fuck him up again, he grabed the shit talking white boy by the hair then took his knife out and stabbed that poor whit trash right in the throat. shit talking white boy no more. dident need a black man for that it was white on white. i see that verry often round here. what i see most is white girls getting fucked and having black babys by the fucking dozen too. then again that will be you some day mother fucker, your going to get fucked up by some white guy that does not share your way of thinking and that will be the end of you.
Abdullah—– Just shut-up. Peoples tired of hearing your mouth spew hatred. You wanna hear what everything everyone else hears ? Your a stupid sandgoogle or a dooncoon, camel jockey, whichever you want….wait, I had no reason to say that, now, SHUT THE FUCK UP !!!!
Don key
This site is for jihadists you retard. Take you juvenile bullshit and shove it.
Abdullah The Butcher
don the homoqueer
Don't try to talk tough little boy…it doesn't suit you. Now get back to your special ed class and if you work hard…you might be able to write a sentence which makes sense.
eat shit and die mofo
Jesus guy's. Do none of you get the joke. He is making fun of muslims too. He puts shit like this on here all the time. He likes that stuff too, he is just crack-in on muslims to show how ridiculous they are. So relax all.

Abdullah The Butcher
You can pretend to be a retard but you can't hide the fact that you are 1. a stupid, uncreative asshole and 2. a bonafide homoqueer.
You are the worst type of infidel and while you may think we can't spot a "big time fag" when you post your moronic rants…we see quite easily that you are a cock sucking super fag.
ALLAHU AKBAR asshole

Hi everyone,
I have been looking at layouts for page options. I noticed that the
content sites still include the "print" link, which takes you to a
page with all the styling stripped out. However, in the past during
usability testing I've heard people comment that if they print from
the browser the same thing should happen. So do you think the "print"
link is still necessary? I will test the interface with users but
would like to hear from the design community on this.

Photos say she did, but she denies it
Sara Khan seems to love raking up controversies. Now that the dust over her much publicised marriage to Ali Merchant – and subsequent divorce – has settled down, she has found another way to stay in the news. Sara shocked her prudish Blackberry pals when she put up a photo of her kissing actor Pooja Bose. Pictures do speak a thousand words and this particular one had a lot to say. But strangely, when a tabloid questioned her about it, Sara denied that she had engaged in a liplock with Pooja. Now we know that pictures don't lie, right? Even if people do. Unless they are morphed of course, but since Sara put it up, we can scratch out that possibility. Then why the denial?
Frankly, we don't think there's anything wrong in a kiss, especially since both Sara and Pooja are single. Then why all this fuss? Was Sara worried it will mar her image? She should take a cue from yesteryear actor Nutan who played the ideal traditional sari-wearing wife on screen and dressed in bosom-hugging gowns off screen. Get real, Sara.

RELEASE: CAP Brief Previews Opportunities and Challenges for Financing the Post-2015 Development Agenda
Contact: Tom Caiazza
Phone: 202.481.7141
Email: email@example.com
Washington, D.C. — World leaders are set to meet in September 2015 to agree on a set of goals to replace the Millennium Development Goals, or MDGs, which expire at the end of 2015. With the announcement of the Third International Conference on Financing for Development, or FFD, to take place in July 2015 in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, just ahead of the September 2015 Heads of State and Government Summit, the conversation on the post-2015 development agenda is shifting from defining goals to financing and implementation.
Following the release of the report of the Intergovernmental Committee of Experts on Sustainable Development Financing earlier this month, Center for American Progress Senior Fellow Molly Elgin-Cossart has laid out the stakes and opportunities facing the global community over the next year as they look to build sustainable development through 2030 and beyond.
"Over the course of the next year, many high-level meetings will take place to answer the important question of 'what's next' once the Millennium Development Goals expire," Elgin-Cossart said. "Though the global economy has been slow to recover from the 2008 financial crisis, the picture for development financing is largely positive. Developing countries continue to grow much faster than developed countries; there is potential to substantially increase other financing flows toward meeting development goals; and as a result of implementing the MDGs for the past 15 years, there is more knowledge about how to use development resources wisely. Building on previous gains, the next development agenda should be more ambitious than the last and go beyond simply 'business as usual.' To realize this vision, a just-as-ambitious plan for financing and implementation is needed."
The Financing for Development Conference in Addis Ababa next July will be crucial to a successful post-2015 agenda. That meeting will focus on channeling resources and tools needed to achieve a new set of goals. Without a strong agreement from that conference on the way to finance and implement the next set of goals, Elgin-Cossart writes, it will be difficult to conclude a successful agreement on a set of goals to define the new development agenda.

Kanye West And Jay-Z Serve Up 'H.A.M.' via Lex Luger
As promised, Kanye West and Jay-Z have teamed up to slaughter the game again.
On Tuesday (January 11), just a few minutes after midnight, the pair dropped their much-anticipated single "H.A.M." on Facebook. Produced by Virginia native Lex Luger, the track is the first from 'Ye and Jay's forthcoming joint LP, Watch the Throne.
"It was all good just a week ago/ N---as feel they selves and now watch the throne drop/ N---as kill they selves," 'Ye spits. "What n---as gon' do, Hov?/ This a new crack on a new stove, I'm in two, though/ True dat, n---as telling me, 'You back,' like a n---a ever left up out this bitch, huh?/ And if life's a bitch, then suck my d---, huh?/ And I bet she f---ed the whole clique, huh?/ By the way, n---a, you should f---ing quit, n---a/ Just forget it/ You talk it, I live it."
As the beat swells into the chorus, featuring Lex's trademark dark sounds, including an eerie chorus of 'oh's,' West spits, "I'm about to go ham, hard as a muthaf---a, let these n---as know who I am/ I'm about to go ham."
Next, Jay takes the mic.
"F--- y'all mad at me for?/ Y'all don't even know what I been through/ I play chicken with a Mack Truck, y'all muthaf---as would've been moved," Jay boasts. "I swam waters with great whites, y'all muthaf---as would've been chewed/ I hustle with vultures on the late night, y'all muthaf---as would've been fooled."
Continuing his braggadocious lyrics, Hov pierces the ego of his haters by taunting that "n---as ain't got my lady's money," referring to wife Beyoncé's considerable net worth. And while Luger's track touts a stabbing bass line, relentless drums and layers of strings, the cut does have a moment of relaxation, when the choir's vocals shine through.
Recently, Luger spoke to MTV News about collaborating with West and Jay.
"I don't know exactly when they recorded the record, but I sent the track a couple months ago when I met Kanye and Jay in New York for the 'See Me Now' record," Luger said. "I've been working with everybody. A lot of people been saying that 'Lex Luger only got that Waka sound,' so I'm trying to take it somewhere else, because I do have another sound, and that's where I want to take it for 2011."

Wyclef teams up with Slip-N-Slide Records for Haiti benefit album
In commemoration of the one year anniversary of the earthquake in Haiti, Wyclef Jean is linking with humanitarian organization CARE, and Slip-N-Slide Records to produce the benefit album 'Care for Haiti,' with proceeds going to citizens of the country. The album's first single, 'Better,' will drop Jan. 12, exactly one year since the catastrophic event, and highlights unity as a pivotal component in bettering the ravished country.
The project also marks a family affair for Jean, as he serves as A&R on the single, while his sister, Melky, wrote and performed the song. "Eighty percent of the population of Haiti survives on just a dollar a day," said Melky in a statement to The BoomBox. "Those most affected and living in poverty are women and children who make up about 70 percent of the world's poorest people. With the 'Care for Haiti' album, we hope to be a catalyst for change and to raise resources to help provide fundamental business skills as well as access to health, food and educational opportunities for the women and children of Haiti. Women are the world's greatest natural resource for fighting poverty; by educating one woman we can change a community and raise the hopes of a country."
Big name musicians for the Haiti benefit album include Patti Labelle, Sean Paul, Talib Kweli, Jill Scott, and India.Arie. The album will be released March 8, in honor of the 100th anniversary of the celebration of International Women's Day.

Kelly Rowland New Promo Pics
Kelly Rowland looks great in her latest photo shoot with photographer Rob Ector. For the shoot, which was taken last year, Kelly wanted to transform from her long flowing hair to something short and edgier. The result was her new fresh cut with highlights that she liked so much, she's been wearing it ever since.
