Kahu Kawika Kahiapo, a PBS Hawaii board member and Na Hoku Hanohano Award-winning musical artist, blessed the studio Monday.

2012 Global Seminars
History, Culture, and Urban Life: Rio de Janeiro and the Imaginary of Brazil
"History, Culture, and Urban Life: Rio de Janeiro and the Imaginary of Brazil" will be taught at Brazil Pontificia Universidade Católica in Rio de Janeiro from June 25 to August 3, 2012. The course is led by Bruno M. Carvalho, assistant professor of Spanish and Portuguese languages and cultures.
Rio de Janeiro served as Brazil's economic, political, and cultural center for much of its history. A national capital from 1763 until 1960, it is the only city in the Americas to have also been the capital of a European monarchy and an empire. As the showcase of a nation eager to establish itself as modern and cosmopolitan, Rio has frequently been a laboratory for numerous architectural, city planning, and urbanism trends. At the same time, it has been the site of many of the multiethnic cultural forms that have been crucial to the formation of a Brazilian identity. Focusing on intersections between modernization projects and cultural production since the late-nineteenth century, the seminar discusses questions such as: What have been some of the competing visions for Rio's future? How have different plans for the city been fulfilled or frustrated? How can we understand these developments in a global context?
Rio has been the subject of countless songs, films, and books. Often called the "Marvelous City," it has captured the imagination of travelers, artists, intellectuals, and everyday dwellers. This interdisciplinary course explores various representations of the city—in fiction and photography, in painting and poetry—while examining perspectives from urbanism and the social sciences. In the process, several topics will emerge, including racial relations and the impact of technological inventions in the urban experience. Being in Rio provides seminar participants with an unparalleled opportunity to visit several of the places and see the cultural practices studied. Excursions include trips to museums, favela NGOs, and the colonial town of Paraty. As the seminar advances, the study of Rio's history will be increasingly tied to some of the ways in which the city is wrestling with contemporary challenges as it prepares to host the 2016 Olympic games.
In general the seminar will meet Monday through Thursday, with Fridays reserved for field trips. Once or twice a week, the class will host a guest lecturer: scholars, artists, or specialists on the day's topic. The seminar includes a community service component and participants are required to attend classes on conversational Portuguese.
This course fulfills the Literature and the Arts (LA) requirement and is open to freshmen, sophomores, and juniors. It is cross-listed with the Department of Architecture, the Department of Spanish and Portuguese Languages and Culture, and the Program in Latin American Studies. While not cross-listed with the Program in Urban Studies, it will count toward a certificate in that program. Students are required to write papers in Portuguese if they plan to use this course towards a Certificate in Portuguese Language and Culture. Admission is by application and interview.
The Global Seminar in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, is cosponsored by Sovereign Bank.

Nintendo cuts Wii U price
Nintendo Co. announced Wednesday it is cutting the price of its Wii U video-game system as it braces for the fall release of competing consoles from Sony and Microsoft.
Nintendo will reduce the price of the Wii U deluxe set from $349.99 to $299.99, effective Sept. 20.
The company will also release a Wii U bundle featuring "The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD," a remake of the 2003 game, that will also be available Sept. 30 for $299.99.
The Wii U has struggled to find an audience. Nintendo sold 3.61 million of the consoles between the Wii U's launch in November 2012 and the end of June. The company aims to sell 9 million Wii U units over the fiscal year through March 2014.
Nintendo of America President Reggie Fils-Aime said in an interview that consumers who have bought the Wii U "love the system" but want more software. Nintendo's game releases for the rest of 2013 include "Super Mario 3D World," "Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze," "Wii Party U" and "Wii Fit U."
"As long as we create high-quality software, we will be able to drive our business," Fils-Aime said. Regarding the price cut, he said: "Now is the right time to offer better value. This sets us up for a strong holiday season."

Saudis Turn to Ethiopian Maids After Asian Backlash
By William Davison & Simon Clark - Jan 24, 2013
Source: Bloomberg
Zeini Kadir escaped at dawn, when the gates of the house in Dammam, Saudi Arabia, were open for morning prayers.
Barefoot, she ended up at an agency catering to Ethiopian workers like her. After flying to Addis Ababa, she rode two buses and walked three hours to the mud-walled home where she grew up. She'd lasted just three months, cooking and cleaning seven days a week in the 18-room house where she said she was beaten with a stick. Still, she said she would have stayed in Saudi Arabia if she could have found another job.
"It's different from house to house," Zeini, 19, said, smiling. "Not all employers are bad." Anyway, "what jobs are there here?"
So few that her father, Kadir Biftu, borrowed 6,000 birr ($327) to send her in August to the Persian Gulf port city, where she could earn enough to pay the debt in months -- something he couldn't do in a year as a farmer. "We'll be very happy if she goes back to Saudi Arabia," said Zelika Kusay, Zeini's mother, after a snack of maize browned over a fire.
Saudi Arabia, the world's biggest oil exporter, has imported female servants for decades. The Indonesian government stemmed the flow after the beheading of an Indonesian maid convicted of killing her employer in June 2011. Maids from the Philippines had also stopped arriving, after Filipino lawmakers wrote a report on alleged abuses, including rapes and beatings.
So the Saudis turned to Ethiopia, across the Red Sea, where most people live on less than $2 a day. "Saudi Arabia will choose the most compliant country," said Walden Bello, chairman of the Overseas Workers Affairs Committee in the Philippine House of Representatives.
Unpaid Wages
Nearly 160,000 Ethiopian women went to work in Saudi Arabia in the 12 months ending July 7, more than 10 times the number a year earlier, data from the Ethiopian Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs show. Tens of thousands more migrated illegally, according to the United Nations.
"I have a little fear," said Addis Mitiku, 23, before taking a job in Jeddah, in western Saudi Arabia. She'd recently returned to Addis Ababa, the Ethiopian capital, from the United Arab Emirates, with marks on her arm where she said the woman she kept house for there bit her. "But you don't get good work here, you don't get good money."
While the government estimates the average college graduate in Ethiopia earns about $90 a month, a maid can make $200 a month in Saudi Arabia.
'Extremely Hostile'
The kingdom employs more than 750,000 domestic servants, according to the UN's International Labor Organization. New York-based Human Rights Watch puts the number at 1.5 million or more. While many "enjoy decent work conditions," the nonprofit said in a 2008 report, "others endure a range of abuses," including conditions amounting to forced confinement and sexual and physical abuse.
"The legal framework in Saudi Arabia is extremely hostile to migrant women's rights," said Nisha Varia, a senior researcher at Human Rights Watch.
A Saudi law guaranteeing one day off a week and limiting hours worked doesn't apply to housekeepers, according to the group. Employers control a worker's immigration status, including when he or she can leave the country.
"It's a problem that's been growing and growing with nobody really addressing the issue," said Basma bint Saud, 48, the youngest child of the late King Saud. Domestic workers "do not have rights."
After the beheading of the maid from Indonesia, that government stopped issuing new visas for citizens to work in Saudi Arabia as domestics. Two weeks ago, the Saudis sparked another outcry over an execution, when a Sri Lankan maid, convicted of smothering a baby to death, was beheaded.
'Stronger Guarantees'
A few months before Indonesia issued its moratorium, the Saudis had cut off new work permits for Filipina maids, following the lawmakers' investigation. "Our report was a chronicle of abuse," Bello, the congressman, said. They found rape was an "ever-present" danger for maids and that beatings were common, according to a copy of the report posted online.
In September, the Philippines and Saudi Arabia reached an agreement giving maids "stronger guarantees for their welfare and protection," according to the Philippine Department of Labor and Employment, including one day off a week, sick leave, paid vacations and a minimum wage of $400 a month.
The governments are in talks over a Filipino request that welfare centers for domestics be created and a process for settling disputes with employers be established. The Philippines has started processing exit papers for maids to Saudi Arabia, according to the Philippine Overseas Employment Administration.
'Changing Mindsets'
Still, Ethiopians are "a good alternative," said Hassan al-Maqbool, chairman of the Jeddah Chamber of Commerce and Industry's recruitment committee. He declined to comment on claims maids have been mistreated. Saudi Ministry of Labor officials didn't respond to e-mails.
In Addis Ababa, Zerihun Kebede, Ethiopia's state minister of labor and social affairs, said the government tolerates the maid trade for now. "We prefer people should work, create their own jobs, at home and contribute to the nation's development," he said. The government's goal is to "change the mindset" of citizens by raising awareness of jobs in growing industries in the Ethiopian economy, including construction and horticulture.
Ethiopia's Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs offers a three-hour course for would-be maids. Rasheeda Haddish, a women's rights researcher, said students she observed were reduced to laughter as teachers told them how to use a sanitary napkin and explained that toothpaste isn't a face cream.
"It wasn't adequate," she said. " They need more training."
'Economic Problems'
Samira Abdurahman, 24, said she ran away from three Saudi households before an agency placed her with a fourth, where she said the patriarch raped her. Even so, she said she had to think twice before leaving Saudi Arabia, because her monthly salary was 750 riyals ($200). Now she makes less than one-quarter of that selling tea and coffee in the capital.
"I was supporting my family," she said. "I would advise others to go because of the economic problems we face here."
For Negisti Ayalkibet, the $130-a-month she earned in Jeddah was enough to buy furniture and a Sony television for her family in Addis Ababa, and to build a toilet, so they don't have to share an outdoor pit. An Orthodox Christian, she said she paid a bribe to have her name changed on her passport to the Muslim "Saida Mohammed," so she could be sure to get a job in a country where Islam is the official religion.
Now she wants to be a maid again, this time in a country where she could practice her religion. "You get tired," she said, "but you make money."
Seven Sheep
Zeini Kadir said she became fed up in Dammam when one of her bosses criticized her clothes-washing skills. "I got tired and I spoke back to the old lady," she said. "Then the wife of one of the sons threatened me with a knife."
After she sneaked out the next day, police officers who found her wandering the streets drove her to the employment agency. Though she said she asked the agency to place her with another Saudi household, she was sent home instead.
Her parents said they were happy to have her back for a while in Seero, a village 200 kilometers (124 miles) from Addis Ababa. Her father grows barley, garlic and other crops on 1.5 hectares (3.7 acres), and her mother tends to seven sheep.
The third-eldest of 10 children, Zeini flunked exams that would have allowed her to continue past 10th grade. So she was expected to follow in the footsteps of an older sister, whose husband sent her to Saudi Arabia.
He lent his father-in-law the money to pay fees to set Zeini up as a maid. Costs vary, and recruiters may charge what Varia of Human Rights Watch called "exorbitant fees."
Recouping Wages
"I spent too much money on her," her father said, resting after dinner, the room dimly lit by a flashlight.
To Zeini's mother, the Arabian Peninsula is a sort of paradise, a view fueled by local hearsay about the wealth daughters can accumulate in jobs in glitzy far-away cites.
"I have heard that people who went to an Arab country came back and built a house," she said.
As Zeini arranges her next assignment, she's trying to recoup the wages she said she didn't receive in Dammam. Her contract with an employment agency -- which said she would stay two years -- entitled her to quit if she suffered "serious insult" or "inhuman or unbearable treatment." The agency's owner said Zeini abrogated the contract when she ran away.
While the adults talked, Zeini's 10-year-old sister, Momina, excitedly counted the fingers on one hand. She was asking for money, her amused mother explained.
Clutching her exercise books as she prepared to go to school, Momina outlined her aspirations.
"I want to go abroad," she said. "I want to go to Riyadh."

The Gov of Phillipines is trying to do everything to assure nothing will happen to their ppl. What's our Government doing to protect its own? Weshella grow up a pair.
Relatively, in Ethiopia people have freedom religious practice. This one of multiculturalism that needs to be encouraged.
The odd things there are extensive abuses in Saud Arabia. Even there are total block to access jobs otherwise one must change name. This shows very backwardness.
What Ethiopian are doing now when ladies are exposed to such inhuman action in Saud Arabia?
What is the role of international Human Rights? Come on now Prong. Alarm… to bring change! Let us judge your contribution.
In other words you call our poor Ethiopian sisters who face all problems in middle east to support their families name?
Ash [Visitor] If you don't have any thing good to say..don't!! insulting our sisters is an insult to all of us. you are simply displaying how arrogant at the same time stupid your mentality is. why.. you need to understand how our country is poor and Ethiopian women been traveling to work in Saudi Arabia for a very long time.
One of the great gifts of woyane and shabians to export Our sisters for prostitution and slavery. Still woyane is proud in its special Democracy in this export system compared to shabians. The shabians sisters have no right to leave the country legally so they have to pay utpo 100,000 bir and smuggel themselves hopping for the best.The rape startes already at home country while the ehtiopina sisters can leave the country legally only paying the woyanes clerk as a form of bribe including Money or sex depending the tigre clerk is man or woman.
The number of tigre sisters to arab slavery drops to zero thanks to tplf and its clerk giving strong advise not to do so. this advise is only for woyane sisters.
You see we are better than shabians thus we are number one.
An Indian high school student who lives in Abo Dhabi wrote a poem about our little maid working there:
The Little Maid In Her Shawl
We ignore her as if she were but a wall,
She sits quietly by, minds it not at all,
Suffering in quiet, her problems she alone faces,
She moves about her work with a smile on her lips.
We care not a whiff for her joy nor her sorrow,
We demand but a meal on the table tomorrow.
We think she is not human at all,
No one cares for the little maid in her shawl.
She loves us no matter our ill treatment of her,
For us the days pass in a speedy blur,
But for her each day moves painfully slow,
A lake cut out from its natural flow,
She surrendered her family, her children her life,
To live elsewhere, in agonizing strife.
The entire day she tends to our children who bawl,
Nobody cares for the little maid in her shawl.
Deftly her hands mend our clothes,
In behaviour and persona, nothing but a rose.
Tolerating all our hurtful blows.
Crying softly at night, all alone.
For her, her sorrows do not end,
Her heart can never be on the mend,
A daughter to marry, no money to do so,
A little boat ebbing against the flow,
A son crying in pain for the mother he never knew,
Her days spent with him are but only a few,
And for those who think time will forever stall,
Look towards the Little Maid in Her Shawl.
We see not the sorrows, the anguish, the pain,
But her troubles, in the end are not really in vain.
For no matter what, He sees her every move,
And when her time comes, nothing will she have to prove
To the Almighty of her goodness and purity,
Up above, she will never fade into obscurity.
For the rich will plead and beg for mercy,
But she need not ask for Holy clemency,
Her innocence and love are noted down,
And The Almighty will welcome her, with not a frown.
Her years of servitude are seen by Him,
And her light, though on Earth is but dim,
Up above, she will outshine us all,
Our Loving Little Maid in her Shawl.

For People like Ash must follow what is happning in Your families Capital than sniffing in Our forum.
PS: amiches are not ethiopians.
Ethiopia's Women:Maid in Ethiopia
The Economist
IN LATE February 2012, Alem Dechasa, an Ethiopian maid working in Lebanon, was video-taped being beaten and dragged into a car. On March 14th, she committed suicide. Her story has drawn attention once again to the plight of migrant workers in the Middle East. But Ms Alem's fate has also highlighted a more unpleasant side of Ethiopia's impressive growth story.
Ethiopia's economy is based on small-scale agriculture. More than 85% of the country's 80m people live in the countryside. Most have limited or no access to such basics as clean drinking water, health-care facilities and education. Helen Gebresillassie, a lawyer who teaches at Stony Brook University's School of Social Welfare in New York and a former legal advisor to the Forum on Street Children in Ethiopia, an NGO, says that high inflation and market inefficiencies keep most farming household incomes so low that everyone must work, including children. When children are sent to school, parents worry about their daughters' safety getting there. More often boys get to study while girls are expected to do housework or get married.
With little education, young women in rural Ethiopia struggle to compete in the labour market. The only realistic employment opportunity for most of them is more of the same domestic work they have done their whole lives.
Ms Alem's case is not uncommon, explains Ms Gebresillassie. Traffickers specifically target uneducated and poor young women from rural areas in order to lure them to big cities in Ethiopia and the Middle East, she continues. That combined with the cultural expectation that children must help support their entire family means that young women are easy prey for traffickers' with their empty promises of higher income and a better life.
The Economist Intelligence Unit, our sister organisation, forecasts real GDP growth of 8% for Ethiopia in the fiscal year 2011/2012, mostly due to hikes in agricultural prices. That eclipses the OECD's predictions of less than 2% GDP growth for the same period. That bodes well for the country's future, but Ethiopia's government will need to ensure that growth rates are sustainable by cultivating one of the country's most valuable resources—its women.
you are one chauvinist pig.I am sure you are one of diaspora vacationers who can not wait till you get addis ,so you can grab those teenage girls ,in the street of bole,kazanchese,and etc.

Former Lifestyle editor
Salem News
The Christmas story which is told and retold through the years never grows old.
It is the world's "greatest love story"-the story of the humble birth of Jesus of Nazareth in a stable in a little town called Bethlehem nearly 2000 years ago.
With this very special child, came a new concept of life--life based upon love in its finest sense.
This babe has changed the lives of millions of people on our earth. He has truly brought the art of love and giving into our hearts and lives.
Reflect back into His meager manger and you will understand how this special story came about.
Among the visitors were the magi (three kings) who were extremely wealthy and brought the most precious gifts they knew, gold, frankincense and myrrh, to give to the infant Jesus in the manger.
Another visitor was a young drummer who expressed love the only way he knew, by sharing his talent. Having no money or material items to share, he played a song on his drums for the infant Jesus.
This young boy's gift is certainly priceless because it came from his heart. We can relate this to our everyday lives, not just during the Christmas season.
Since that first Christmas, a new spirit has inspired men's better self. The spirit is a precious treasure of the season. It is "good will, kindness, charity and love " which put a song in man's heart and a smile on his face.
Christmas seems to be the one time of the year when petty differences are forgotten, as are other's past transgressions. It is the time to be more charitable, more thoughtful of others, more considerate of others.
Christmas is the unique opportunity to share the best of ourselves with others, whether it's motivated by a religious appreciation of the season or not.
We must learn that the most precious gifts are the warm and thoughtful gifts that come from the heart, not the impersonal or even cold ones we feel compelled to buy for someone.
Throughout the year, not just at Christmas, take time to share special gifts of love such as visiting the sick and/or the lonely. Doors at area nursing homes are always open to those who have a few minutes to spend with the lonely. This means so much more than just singing Christmas carols to them once a year.
Also, take time to listen to someone, really listen, especially to a friend who might be lonely or hurting.
When contemplating a special, meaningful resolution for 2012, remember the little drummer boy and keep the love of Christ not only at Christmas time, but in every day of your life!

Y ES, IT'S THAT time on the calendar again. Let the controversy commence anew.
The first BCS standings will come out Sunday. Bet you can't wait. But whatever you think, they will be the sport's dominant storyline for the next 7 weeks. Because the only thing that matters, in a playoff-less landscape, is who makes it to New Orleans on Jan. 9. And, just as arguably, who doesn't.
The BCS wasn't designed to settle all the debates. Its purpose is to provide a No. 1 vs. No. 2 game. And in doing so, it often creates debates. The only time it works to most everyone's satisfaction is when two teams pretty much separate themselves the way that Southern Cal and Texas did in 2005. More often than not you're left with some precinct complaining.

Malaysiakini.com reports, Justice Zainal Adzam Abdul Ghani today ruled that Barisan Nasional's victory in Sanglang in the March 8 general election was invalid.
Umno's candidate Abdullah Hassan won the seat with a majority of 149 votes, bagging 3,384 votes as opposed to Hashim Jasin's 3,235. Hashim, who is Perlis PAS commissioner, claimed that he should have won Sanglang based on initial Election Commission records.
He said that he should be declared the winner as the vote tallied from all counting centres showed that he had polled 3,333 votes against Abdullah's 3,286 and had thus won by a 47-vote majority.
This decision may pave way to a by-election. If it happens, the by-election will be a test of Abdullah's popularity and BN's ability to restore its battered pride. Today, the coalition is threatened by possible defections which may not necessary strengthening the PR but surely to weaken BN.
If BN performs badly in the Sanglang by-election, Abdullah's days in office may be further shortened.

State falls to last in health report standings
By J. Anfenson-Comeau
Louisiana dropped below Mississippi to rank as the least-healthy state in the country in the United Health Foundation's annual report, issued Wednesday.
Improvements in Mississippi allowed it to move to 48th healthiest state, as compared to the study released in 2007, leaving Louisiana, formerly the 49th healthiest state at the bottom, as reported in the "America's Health Rankings 2008" report.
Most Southern states received poor marks, including South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Arkansas and Georgia.
Vermont was ranked the healthiest state in the country.
The study looks at a diverse array of factors, including personal behaviors, crime and education, prevalence of health insurance and mortality figures.
Louisiana received poor marks for prevalence of smoking and obesity, prevalence of violent crime and low high school graduation rates.
Obesity in particular, has blossomed in Louisiana in recent years, increasing to 30.7 percent of the population and dropping the state's ranking to 47th in the country.
In addition, the state's figures for children in poverty and individuals with no health insurance were ranked some of the lowest in the nation, at 22.7 percent and 20.2 percent, respectively.
Figures for infant mortality, cardiovascular deaths and cancer deaths were also some of the lowest in the country.
On the plus side, the prevalence of binge drinking, public health funding and number of primary care physicians all improved, and rank above national averages.
Louisiana also ranked eighth in the nation for lowest number of poor mental health days claimed.
Overall health in America remained static for a fourth year, according to the report, with the United States trailing many other industrialized nations in infant mortality, life expectancy, mortality for treatable conditions and overall health care system performance, despite spending significantly more on health care.

text: As most of us are experiencing personally and professionally, the global economic crisis has tremendous potential to rearrange "truths," not to mention retirement plans. Books forecasting a "Post-American World" have spent months on national best-sellers' lists. If such change were realized, it has the potential to affect multiple relationships, including among the states of the Americas. Given existing economic, cultural, social and political ties among these countries, we hope Santa Fe conference participants will consider what historical alterations economic, social and state relations have meant in past cycles, as well as what current transformations may mean, for the people, cultures, governments and economies of the Americas. This affects us across many dimensions, and we welcome proposals that are equally varied, across the disciplines.

Potty Training the Wrong Way, at the Wrong TimeCassandra Barry
We started potty training Laszlo a couple of weeks ago. He's two years and eight months old. Which, I know what you're thinking, is exactly the wrong age to be potty training. I know that you're thinking that because everybody seems to think he is either way too old or way to young to be doing it now. What's the age when he's not too young and not too old? Will the experts just agree and give me a specific age range?
Everybody seems to have conflicting advice about how to do it, too: Put him on the potty every half hour or so. No, don't put him on the potty— Ask him if he wants to go… Let him wear a diaper if he wants one. No, once you start using underwear, you can't bring back the diaper… Reward toilet action with treats like stickers or candy. No, don't reward going on the potty— Be totally neutral about it…. Put your kid in underwear instead of diapers. No, have your kid go naked. The only thing I can get consistent advice on is how to deal with accidents: "Do not shame him when he has an accident." First of all, what kind of a bitch do they think I am? Second of all, NO DUH.
People often respond to the fact that Laszlo is wearing underwear now with something like, "Oh." (Long pause.) "How old is he?… My son wasn't ready until he was three and a half." And they look at me like I'm being a pushy mom who's forcing her kid to grow up. These tend to be the types of parents who believe that children should make their own decisions about everything in life, even when they're toddlers. I'm not sure how those kids are going to turn out, but I picture them growing up to be self-centered, unemployed adults who eat a lot of sugar cereals while playing video games all day.
I can't imagine that anyone in a diaper is going to decide on their own that a superior system involves stopping playing, walking to the bathroom, pulling down their pants, wiping themselves and washing their hands. Not when the alternative is lying on a padded mattress, getting cleaned with moistened fabric and getting redressed in thick padding to cushion your falls. Most kids probably need some adult convincing on this whole thing. Also, I'm staring to wonder how much Depends cost.
Occasionally, someone will say, "Have you heard of elimination communication'? You should have potty trained Laszlo when he was an infant. That's what the Europeans do." Great. So, it's too late now and Laszlo is hopeless? He's a victim of a lazy American society that can't be bothered to poop in a toilet. We've been brainwashed by a greedy disposable diaper industry who doesn't care about landfills. People who are into E.C. believe that you're treating your kid like an idiot (and torturing him with diaper rashes) if you let him sit in his own bodily waste when he doesn't have to.
All of which I think is pretty valid. It turns out that it wasn't so long ago that the diaper industry started making the outrageously sized 6 diapers, meant for babies— I mean children, really— who are over thirty-five pounds. Just the fact that diapers are available in sizes that big encourages us on some level to keep kids in diapers for as long as possible. I've found myself thinking, "Well, he's a size 4 now. So what's the rush? He still has two more sizes to go!" Europeans not only potty train early, they also manage to fit two or three kids into a normal sized car without resorting to buying an SUV. Europeans do everything better.
Since I missed my chance to allow Laszlo to be potty trained as an infant, I figured I may as well just give up and let Laszlo wear diapers for another year or more. Then I heard about Morgan (not his real name). He's five years old and he still wears diapers. I'm guessing he wears those size 6 ones. He's my friend's friend's kid. He's in kindergarten and wears diapers sometimes because he sucks at pooping and peeing in the potty. Because his parents were lazy about potty training and he missed the window for potty training.
I don't want Laszlo to be wearing diapers when he's five years old. He's had the classic "readiness" signs for a while. But I guess I didn't start sooner because I feel this ridiculous cultural pressure to wait until he's over three years old. But after a few days into the process, we were having some "accidents" (which I now know is normal) and I wasn't sure if I was doing the right thing. That's when someone fueled my insecurities by telling me about "withholding." (The thing about parenting is that there's always somebody to make you even more nervous about whatever you're already going through with your kid.) "Withholding," in case you haven't figured it out, is when a kid gets stressed out about potty training and gets constipated. So, I try to act cool about the whole pooping thing, for fear of stressing out Laszlo. But on the inside, I'm anxiously awaiting that poop every day. Seeing Laszlo's poop in the toilet is now the highlight of my day. Yes, that may be the most fucked up sentence I've ever written.
An older, foreign-born friend of mine told me that in her culture, babies are potty trained as infants. Her friends and family would have thought she was crazy if her kids were wearing diapers past the age of one. Her technique for potty training them was an even more old fashioned method than bribery: She threatened them. Both her kids are adults now and they turned out great. They are an extremely close, loving family. There's no hard feelings, no "withholding", and everyone is peeing and pooping just fine. I'm not advocating threatening your babies. I'm just saying that I'm sure Laszlo will continue to do just fine with this whole toilet thing and maybe any age is the "right" age.

As with all things involving Sean Avery's actions, criticism is flying. This time, it's Avery's support for same-sex marriage that has daggers drawn.
An example: Todd Reynolds, an agent who represents NHL players Chris Neil, Cody McCormick and Mike Fisher among his clients.
-- See it: Avery's public service announcement
Reynolds took to the Twittersphere to log his dissent: "Very sad to read Sean Avery's misguided support of same-gender 'marriage.' Legal or not, it will always be wrong."
And later: "To clarify. This is not hatred or bigotry towards gays. It is not intolerance in any way shape or form. I believe we are all equal."
Followed by: "But I believe in the sanctity of marriage between one man and one woman. This is my personal viewpoint. I Do not hate anyone."
Reynolds then got air time on Canada's TSN radio.
"I believe in voicing your opinion and not being part of the silent majority," he said, according to the Toronto Globe and Mail. "If Sean Avery or any other player can comment on one side of the discussion then -- I work in hockey, I'm in hockey 24-7 -- why can I not comment on it as well?"
Avery joined a list of celebrities in doing a public service announcement supporting same-sex marriage. It's part of a media push by New Yorkers for Marriage Equality, organized by the gay-rights organization Human Rights Campaign.
The upshot of all this? Avery is involved in yet another controversy, and Reynolds and his agency, Ontario-based Uptown Sports Management, gets name recognition.
Avery, 31, is known for his on- and off-ice attempts to agitate his opponents. He was suspended in 2008 for comments he made about another player's girlfriend. He had three goals and 21 assists in 2010-11 for the Rangers.

A Case Study in Bloggership
D. Gordon Smith
Brigham Young University - J. Reuben Clark Law School
Berkman Center for Internet & Society - Bloggership: How Blogs are Transforming Legal Scholarship Conference Paper
Univ. of Wisconsin Legal Studies Research Paper No. 1017
Washington University Law Review, Vol. 84, 2007
This brief essay, prepared for a symposium on Bloggership: How Blogs Are Transforming Legal Scholarship, held at Harvard Law School on April 27-28, 2006, uses blogging about The Walt Disney Company Derivative Litigation at the Conglomerate blog to illustrate the potential of blogging as a scholarly medium. Blogging encourages individual research and reflection, and its public nature provides an opportunity for scholarly activity that is similar in many ways to presenting at an academic conference or publishing an editorial article. Bloggership is a useful neologism that distinguishes this sort of scholarship from traditional, long-form scholarship and it distinguishes blogging that has scholarly aspirations from other forms of blogging. If scholarship is about making a contribution to knowledge, and the receptacle for that contribution is a scholarly community, then blogs seem well positioned to serve as delivery mechanisms.

Austrian actor Maximilian Schell, who won the best actor Oscar in the early 1960s for his portrayal of a defence attorney in the drama "Judgment at Nuremberg,'' has died.
He was 83.
Schell's agent Patricia Baumbauer said Saturday that Schell died overnight at a hospital in Innsbruck following a "sudden and serious illness,'' the Austria Press Agency reported.
The Vienna-born Schell won his Oscar in 1961 and later was honoured with further Oscar nominations in the best actor category for "The Man in the Glass Booth'' in 1975, and for best supporting actor in "Julia'' in 1977.
Born to a Swiss writer and an Austrian actress, he was the younger brother of Maria Schell, an icon of the German-speaking film world, who died in 2005.

You can use a juicer at home for your own convenience however there are also pre-packed juice fasts available like the Blueprint Cleanse, Cooler Cleanse and Organic Avenue's Love Cleanse.
Raw Food Diet
Though for some people, raw food diet is their normal way of eating but others consider it as detox diet. This involves eating raw foods or foods that has not been heated above 118 degrees.
Lemonade Diet
A homemade drink is made up of lemon juice, cayenne pepper and grade B maple syrup.
Additional Diets
Other types of diet to consider are the elimination diet, green smoothie cleanse, brown rice diet, vegan diet, pancha karma, macrobiotic diet, candida cleanse and the Clean Cleanse. Most diet plans have something in common and this is to improve the balance of alkaline to acid forming foods in the diet. This alkaline forming food has higher levels of minerals such as calcium, potassium, magnesium and sodium which promote cleansing.
Additional Methods to Support a Detox Diet Plan
Diet is not only the requirement of a well-designed diet plan. It must be accompanied with the following.
Inactivity can cause poor blood circulation which have a negative impact on one's health and impair detoxification as well as immune function. Exercise is required to get the blood flowing.
Increased Elimination
Toxins in the body must be eliminated but if we don't move the organs of the body for elimination becomes sluggish. We must therefore increase water intake, eat foods that prevent constipation and use herbal laxatives such as assena tea or cascara.
Improve Digestion
Most detox diet requires the removal of foods that people are sensitive to like gluten and wheat. A good diet must support the liver with protein, vitamins, antioxidants and other nutrients that will help with the detoxification.
Mind and Body Wellness
Stress does not only impair with body's detoxification but also cause digestive ailments and impaired immunity as well as several effects with one's health. Include with your detox diet a healthy mind free of stress. One is advised to incorporate some mind and body practices with your detox like mindfulness meditation, diaphragmatic breathing and progressive relaxation.

THE Editor-in-Chief of the American Journal of Diseases of Children again wishes to make a permanent record of the names of many friends, colleagues, or merely recognized authorities who have contributed generously of their time and specialized knowledge in evaluating manuscripts submitted for possible publication. Scientific medical knowledge has today expanded into so many subspecialized fields that no small groups of editors can cope adequately with the problem of assessing fairly the value of individual contributions. The large number of those who have participated in this labor of love attests to its importance as well as to the magnitude of the job. Their real reward comes not in the listing of names, but rather in consciousness of having helped in the progress of their profession.

One of my favorite businesses, Winmark (NASDAQ: WINA ) , reported earnings this week. Earnings boosted 14% compared to the prior year's first quarter. Though the company continues to franchise its range of secondhand stores, the most compelling growth comes from the leasing division, which saw revenues jump by 30%. The company is underfollowed yet has been paying attractive special dividends while giving investors two-year capital appreciation of roughly 50%. As the company moves forward and pushes its leasing business to new heights, should you get in now?
Earnings recap
Winmark's core business is franchising secondhand-goods stores -- Plato's Closet (women's apparel), Play It Again Sports, Music Go Round, and Once Upon A Child. As of this past quarter, the company had nearly 1,000 franchised locations. Secondhand-goods stores tend to do great in rough economic times, and pretty good in boom times. Winmark has slowly and steadily grown the business over the years. This quarter, royalties from sales hit nearly $8.5 million, up from $8.22 million in the prior year's quarter. Now, 3.3% growth isn't too thrilling, especially for a business that isn't the most thrilling to begin with, but there were much more interesting figures from this quarter's earnings.
John Morgan, the founder and CEO, is a small- and mid-size-business leasing pro -- having founded and exited a very successful, very similar business prior to his time at Winmark. While it hasn't been the face of the company, Winmark's leasing business is where the growth is rapidly increasing.
For the quarter, Winmark's lease revenue topped $3.4 million, up from $2.4 million in the year-ago quarter. While the retail segment's 3.3% growth may be forgettable, 30% growth from leasing is certainly an eye-catcher. The growth came from a larger lease portfolio than in the past, and continued performance of prior loans. With the larger portfolio came an increase in leasing expense, but at half the growth rate of the corresponding income.
Not cheap, but so good
Winmark is a business I would love to own. Its CEO is its largest shareholder -- owning nearly a third of the business. It's an unsexy, neglected-by-the-Street company. It has many of the prerequisites for the fundamentals-centric investor, except the most important: price. Even with its recent hiccup in February due to an impaired investment charge, Winmark remains a pricey stock. Does that mean it won't continue to outperform the market in coming years?Not at all. I like management and I see the leasing business continuing to grow at an attractive clip, but at 24 times last year's earnings and an EV/EBITDA of 10.53, the company would need some pretty substantial growth year after year.
Keep an eye on this company long-term; any big dips may be a buy opportunity. With a return on equity of 75%, you know management is a smart capital allocator, and the business itself is cash-printing. For better or worse, Winmark remains one of my favorite stocks I don't own.

Kevin Jonas, arriving arm-in-arm with wife Danielle at Las Vegas's Bank Nightclub inside the Bellagio during a night out with three other couples. The singer tried to keep a low profile and ordered water at his VIP table. An onlooker adds that he couldn't keep his eyes off his wife. "He seemed very protective of her," the source says. The couple also danced close, and Jonas fist-pumped, Jersey Shore style, to the song "Let It Rock."

The girls' varsity basketball team started their AAA season strong, defeating the Balboa Buccaneers in a 57-18 blowout game on Jan. 9. Right from the tip-off, the girls were in control, playing good defense, swinging the ball, and waiting for the open shot.
The girls' domination was evident in their lockout defense. The Cardinals kept the Bucs' shooting to a minimum by stopping plays before they occurred and blocking balls before they got up.
The girls' prowess on the court wasn't limited to their stellar defense. Senior Cardinal Taylor Sui scored a team-high of 12 points with senior Katarina Lum tailing right behind with 8 points. "We were patient with our offense, looked for the good cuts, and found the open man," senior player Hana Murphy said.
But seniors weren't the only ones who got their time to shine. Junior Kelly Wong was one of the five starters, the other four being seniors Angie Ng, Taylor Sui, Lorna Tuufuli, and Katarina Lum.
The Cardinals' next game will be at 5:30 p.m. Jan. 11 at Galileo against the Lions.

Source: Marlins Contacted Jose Reyes
The Florida Marlins are interested in bringing free-agent shortstop Jose Reyes to South Florida, which would push Hanley Ramirez to another position, a team official told ESPN.com's Jerry Crasnick.
The official suggested that the Marlins also will make overtures to the representatives for Albert Pujols and Prince Fielder in attempt to make a splash as they move into their new ballpark.
The Marlins official told Crasnick the team already has "reached out" to Reyes.

Last night on NBC The Voice Season 4, Blake Shelton and Shakira's teams performed live for viewer votes and the chance to move on to the Top 12. The show kicked off with a group number by Shelton's country artists who sang Little Big Town's "Boondocks" in perfect harmony.
Team Blake:
It seems Shelton has already formulated the "type" of country artist he sees each contestant emulating based on the song choice for the night. Holly Tucker who sang a rousing rendition of Leann Rimes' monster hit "How Do I Live." Tucker confessed she was less than confident that she could fit the superstar mold but Shelton (along with the other judges) assured her that was not a factor. Alabama gospel singer Justin Rivers performed "Meet in the Middle" by Diamond Rio. It was another consistent/solid performance by Rivers who Shelton was quick to compare to the likes of Rascal Flatts and Keith Urban.
Next up was The Swon Brothers who sang "Fishing in the Dark" by folk-rockers Nitty Gritty Dirt Band. The infectious duo energized the crowd, even though half of them, including Usher, had never heard "Fishing in the Dark" before. Last up for team Blake was 16-year-old Danielle Bradbery. One word to sum up this girl's performance: wow. Bradbery has no professional training and absolutely stunned me with her rendition of Pam Tillis' "Maybe It Was Memphis." Whether she wins The Voice or not, Bradbery clearly has a singing career ahead of her.
Team Shakira
First up, Garrett Gardner who took on the mammoth hit "Imagine" by John Lennon. Gardner showed off his piano skills while continuing to impress the judges with his growth as an artist. Next up was sweet-sounding Kris Thomas who performed one of my favorite Bruno Mars cuts in "When I Was Your Man." Thomas had some pitch problems, mainly due to nerves, but overall it was a solid performance.
Then it was music teacher Karina Iglesias turn who performed a stunning rendition of Al Green's "Let's Stay Together." Iglesias has been good throughout the competition, but there was something about last night's performance that really showcased all the dynamics of her voice. New York mom Sasha Allen closed out the show with a powerhouse rendition of the Beatles classic "Oh, Darling." No disrespect to any of the other competitions, but I'd love to see NBC just put Sasha Allen and Judith Hill in a ring and let them battle it out song for song.
Tonight, remember to tune into NBC The Voice for live performances by CeeLo Green and Rod Stewart and the Top 12 artists advancing are revealed.

Hootie & The Blowfish
Hootie & the Blowfish's mainstream pop variation of blues-rock brought the band to the top of the charts in 1995. Formed at the University of South Carolina, the group features lead vocalist/guitarist Darius Rucker, Mark Bryan, Dean Felber, and Jim "Soni" Sonefeld; the name refers to two friends of the band, not Rucker and the group itself. Cracked Rear View, the group's first album, was released in the fall of 1994 and a single, "Hold My Hand," worked its way into the Top Ten by the beginning of 1995. Its success propelled the album to number one, as well as launching a second hit, "Let Her Cry," which was quickly followed by "Only Wanna Be With You." Cracked Rear View had become a massive success by the fall of 1995, going platinum several times over. By the time the group released their second album, Fairweather Johnson, in the spring of 1996, the debut had sold 13 million copies in the U.S. alone. Fairweather Johnson initially didn't replicate that success. It entered the charts at number one and sold two million copies within its first four months of release, but it didn't produce any hit singles on the level of the debut's "Hold My Hand" or "Let Her Cry." Musical Chairs followed in 1998. The album Scattered, Smothered, and Covered was issued two years later, featuring previously unreleased material, songs polled by the fans, and Hootie's own tributes to R.E.M. and the Smiths.

short wait time , prompt and answer all my crazy questions !
I waited a while in the waiting room and was a little annoyed but the other patients were talking about how good he was and that he was worth the wait. When he saw me, he examined me better than any other dermatologist I had been to before. He saw a spot he didn't like and explained why it needed to be biopsied. This had never happened before with my other dermatologists. They just cut and cut. He diagnosed me with a melanoma that other derms had seen before and ignored. He saved my life. He explained what I had and cut it out right away. After his explanation I understood what I had and that I would be fine once I got treated. He cut it out and the scar was fine. It was on my back so it was no big deal. He was worth the wait. He is my favorite doctor.
When I visited Dr. Kaiser's office I felt completely welcome. His tsaff was always happy. Doctor Kaiser stayedin the room with me and explained my condition. The staff was very prompted and always tried to give me an appointment as soon as possible. This is my favorite doctor. I have tried the others in the area and they treated me terribly. Doctor Kaiser is the way to go.
Dr. Kaiser is wonderful. Knowledgeable and caring.
Good doctor but a long wait. PA does the cutting of lesions.
he explained what I had and got it right. after seeing other dermatologists with no help he had my problem solved in two weeks
Dr. Kaiser and his staff are awesome
Very good doctor, I have used him and his PA for many years. Would not go to anybody else. Due to my travel schedule he has always been ableto fix me theirs busy schedules as long as I am willing toteaveltoany of their different offices.
You can wait up to 3 months to see the Dr. but you can see the PA in about 2 weeks. The fees are the same. With the Dr. you will wait at least 1 hour, then go back in the room and wait 30 minutes. With the PA you can be in and out in about 1 hour.
1. They told me at the front desk I was "all set."2. A week later I get a 180 dollar bill. They charged 75 dollars to freeze off a spot, and 25 dollars for each additional squirt. I tried to lower the bill, they refuse, they messed up my credit score. Now they'll NEVER get my money. Scum.
I was passing through Stuart,Fl and needed to see a Dermatologist about a rash on my face. Dr. Kaiser was the first on Web MD, so I called to see if I could get an appointment. I explained to the receptionist that I was private pay when she asked about my insurance. She became extremely rude to me, basically acted as if I must be indigent and homeless when I told her I was living on a boat. I never got to see Dr. Kaiser and wouldn't even consider it after the rudeness of his receptionist. The sad fact is if you don't have insurance because of pre-existing conditions, even though you could afford to pay for it, some people categorize you as if you were a welfare recipient.Where is the compassion in medicine these days?
I thought I waited a little too long in the waiting room and in the exam room but when he did see me he took the time to exxamine me more throughly then I expected and explained to me what he thought my rash was from. He diagnosed my problem, explained it so I understood and gave me a prescription which worked. It was worth the wait. i had been to other skin doctors and they didn't diagnose me orrectly and didn't spend much time.

Canon PowerShot G15 Review
Latest Camera Reviews
Your Comments
9 Comments | Newest Oldest First | Post a Comment
I'm looking to get this camera, previously i owned the G12 but broke it on holiday. I'm a pro wedding photographer using the Canon MK3 for work. My Work http://www.amirhaq.co.uk
Canon used to be king of the high end compacts but the G series seems like it has run out of steam. Id personally much rather have a Fuji X10.
If someone is interested here is comparison of some cameras:
Was there a problem with the G15 during your sample images session ?
Outdoor photography at ISO800 to obtain an 1/50s shutter speed ?! You forgot the ND Filter ? Or was it really dark when you got the camera ?
I just don't understand…
-> Your desk :
G15 : 1/60s ISO800
XZ2 : 1/30s ISO320
-> The facad with 6 balconies :
You shot by night for the G15 and in bright sunlight for the XZ2 haha ?
It is difficult to compare cameras in such different conditions…
By the way, if you had to chose between Olympus XZ2 and Canon G15, wich one would you pick ?
Thanks in advance !
I had an Oly XZ1 for about a year and then sold it. The IQ was good and the lens sharp but I found the sensor noise not good at high ISOs, the video awful, the handling a bit awkward (esp the lens cap and lack of grip), no viewfinder etc. I have just purchased the G15 at a considerably reduced sale price here in Oz and couldn't be more delighted. It handles well, has great low light performance, bright sharp lens, good video and handling is good. As a complete package, it's basically everything I wish the XZ1 could have been.
This is one of the finest compact Cameras I have ever used, I carry it ALL the time. Image results are stunning this is an example of what it is capable of: http://www.flickr.com/photos/antmant/8485445372/in/photostream
You can also learn more: http://www.2deals.net/Battery-Charger/Canon.html
What gives here? These sample shots are dreary and all at high ISO compared to the RX100 II's shots which are all at low ISO. Agree with Thomas above, there is something wrong here and as you haven't answered the question: Did you leave the ND filter for all these. This is a really unfair comparison and will lead people to believe that you have an agenda here.
I need a remote control for my canon 15G powershot. Any one know how and what I can get?
Thank you

Photos: Drake Wears Manziel Double-Kiss Shirt
February 3rd, 2014| by Lost Lettermen
Johnny Manziel's idolization of Drake used to be a one-way street. Now, it appears there's a good deal of mutual admiration between the former Texas A&M QB and the hip-hop star.
After all, one has to be a huge fan of Johnny Football to wear a sweatshirt with an imprint of the now-famous photo of Manziel getting double-kissed during spring break last year. That was Drake's attire on Sunday for the multiple Super Bowl parties he attended.
Where can we get one?
