monthly rage #1
I think I just created a new section here on my blog. And drummmmmrooooolllll pleazzeee.....
MONTHLY RAGE. I'm going to give vent to my fury! YAY! I just want to share what really annoys me in the world of fashion and whatever. So lets get started.
Numero Uno would be Alexa Chung. I can't see her fu**ing face in another nice and cute and oh so sweet, vintage inspired- I'm-wearing-grandmas-cardigan-but-pssssst-don't-tell-anyone-LOOKBOOK anymore.
What would be an monthly outburst of anger without my favourite (I'm trying to be funny) designer Karl Lagerfeld. Seriously Karl?! Now, Choupette, your cat in I-D and Harper's Bazaar. Oh, I see!!! Is that a sign for a new project? Maybe designing packages for cat milk or maybe some super tight and sexy leather gloves pour Choupette. Oh jeeeze.
How lame is the German Vogue cover for the September 2012 issue? The dress is ok, but Salma Hayek's face looks so booooring. No expression. Nada. Nothing. Oh no, wait, it's the I'm-trying-to-be-effortlessly-sexy-look! Salma, sorry, but you look dead in that pose. Just not worth talking.

five minutes with photographer Kenneth Schultze-Petzold
What makes us beautiful? Is it something in face, the lips, the personality or an indefinable factor? People tend to criticize their physical appearance. But what do photographers think? I caught up with Kenneth Schultze-Petzold the man behind KennethSPhotografie.
The beginning of his passion for photography may sound cheesy: At the age of 12 while taking a photo of a dragonfly he had that magical experience. Sure, we all had that one in our lives?! When we realized for the first time we are really passionate about something. What followed were assistent jobs. After sucessfully passing the A-levels, he's now ready to start his own projects.
Is photography a constant search for beauty and perfection?
In the future I would like to work as a fashion and beauty photographer. So, I would say yes, but I'm also intersted in capturing the ugly things in life. Pain, grief and misery. Not for me, but for those who tend to overlook it.
No, not at all. The distance remains because I have to look through a viewfinder. I can zoom in, but there will always be something between me and the object.
With whom would you like to shoot?
Christian Schuller and Paul Ripke. (both photographers)
Any celebrities, musicians, athletes?
Not personalities in that sense, but people who experienced a lot in life. People who have accomplished something. Their faces should mirror the experiences they went through. I'm not about to photograph the most amazing and famous people, but the most remarkable ones. But if you want a more exact answer: I would like to shoot Florence and the Machine and Wankelmut. Not particular model wishes.
Photography is all about the light? Do you prefer to shoot in a studio or outside in the daylight?
lookbook: MSGM f/w 2012
I just recently discovered the Italian brand MSGM and fell instantly in love with their F/W 2012 collection. I really like the mixing that is going on here. Firework prints, different fabrics and refreshing colours- that's how fashion for the-not-so-sunny-days should look like, right?!

WILDLIFE INFO - Hares
If you have found distressed wildlife, it is important that you contact a licensed rehabilitator immediately and make arrangements for the animal to be transferred to a rehabilitation centre. Please call the Wildlife Helpline at 1-888-924-2444 or phone one of the centres on our member centres page directly.
Orphaned Wildlife
Most of the young animals that are brought into rehabilitation centres are not truly orphaned. Please read the following information to help you decide if the young animal that you found needs to be rescued or just left alone until their mother returns.
Hares (jackrabbits, snowshoe hares)
What you should know:
- Young hares are easy to catch and appear helpless.
- Precocial at birth – fully furred, eyes open and able to hop.
- Mother hares' natural behavior is to leave the young alone for most of the day, so her scent will not attract predators.
- Mother hares nurse their young only at dawn and dusk.
What you should do:
- If you find a young hare that is not obviously injured, leave it alone and do not handle it.
- If you find a hare in a dangerous place (parking lot, road) try to steer it, without handling it, to a safer location less than 150 meters from where it was found.
- If a dog or cat finds the hare, remove the pet, not the hare.
*Read more about Hares in this educational poster and please print off and distribute.*

Completed project
Leveraging Mobile Technology for Sustainable Seamless Learning in Singapore Schools
Over the next 10 years, we anticipate that personal, portable, wirelessly networked technologies will become ubiquitous in the lives of learners—indeed, in many countries, this is already a reality. We see that ready-to-hand access creates the potential for a new phase in the evolution of technology-enhanced
learning, characterised by 'seamless learning spaces' and marked by continuity
of the learning experience across different scenarios or contexts, and
emerging from the availability of one device or more per student. The challenge
is to enable learners to learn whenever they are curious and seamlessly
switch between different contexts, such as between formal and informal contexts and between individual and social learning, and by extending the social spaces in which learners interact with each other. In this research, we study the potential of mobile learning research for designing seamless learning environments that can bridge both formal and informal learning, present a research agenda and discuss important methodological issues that concern research into formal and informal learning.
We want to go beyond classroom learning and explore the continuous, pervasive (therefore seamless), and longitudinal use of mobile technologies. Therefore, we aim to design "mobilized" curricula that facilitate and scaffold student-centered learning activities that encompass formal and informal settings, that is, in and out of the formal classroom.
Starting from 2006, we have been working with the primary school to explore how to use mobile technologies (e.g. Pocket PCs, cell phone computers, and netbooks) to improve student inquiry-based learning. We collaborate with a local Singapore primary school to explore a sustainable model for integrating 1:1 mobile technology into student-centered, inquiry-based learning. A curriculum task force involving teachers and researchers is later formed (January 2009) to develop a methodology for designing science inquiry-based curriculum. Each and every student in the class has his or her own personal, mobile computer for use 24/7.
The research work also includes pilot-testing the resulting curricular materials
in classroom settings. In addition to using quantitative and qualitative research
methods for studying the experimental classrooms, an ethnographic research approach is used to study several selected students from class in their home. Our intent in studying the broad range of planned and emergent activities that occur in class and outside of class over two years is to design a model of 1:1 computing in Singapore schools grounded in evidence-based research.

Turnpike truck traffic declines
PITTSBURGH -- Truck traffic on the western end of the Pennsylvania Turnpike has declined sharply since officials began increasing tolls annually four years ago.
Some worry that the latest increases beginning Sunday will drive more trucks onto local roads as truckers seek to avoid higher tolls. Tolls will have jumped 35 percent for E-ZPass customers and 71 percent for cash customers since 2009.
"We have always gotten a good share of local truck traffic on Route 30, but it's become a lot worse. I don't think that many trucks are making that many local deliveries," said Joe Bellucci, of Hempfield, who lives near the highway running parallel to the turnpike.
As of Sunday, drivers operating Class 7 trucks -- tractor-trailers between 62,001 and 80,000 pounds -- will pay nearly $145 to go between the Warrendale toll plaza in Allegheny County and the Delaware River Bridge in Bucks County, compared with $107 in 2008. Those paying cash will cough up almost $184.
Turnpike officials blame decreased truck traffic on the recession, not higher tolls.
"Is there a tipping point where tolls might start to affect traffic? Probably. But I don't think we can put a finger on when that might be," turnpike spokesman Carl DeFebo said.
According to the latest turnpike data that measure traffic between interchanges, average daily truck traffic dropped between the Ohio state line and the Donegal interchange in Westmoreland County in a range from 3.4 to 14 percent since 2008, varying by section.
The decrease in overall traffic, including cars, was not nearly as steep. The biggest decline in truck traffic occurred between the New Stanton and Donegal interchanges.
In 2008, before the run of annual toll increases began, an estimated 11,622 trucks a day -- or 33 percent of all traffic -- used the 16-mile stretch. In 2011, the most recent year for which data are available, 10,000 trucks a day used that stretch, representing 29 percent of all traffic.
Jim Runk, executive director of the Pennsylvania Motor Truck Association, is not surprised by the reduced numbers. He said the trucking industry took a hit from the recession but began to rebound in 2011.
Toll increases were rare before the 2009 increase. Between the turnpike's opening in 1940 and 2009, tolls went up just five times.

Sharpsville edges Lakeview in Class A semifinal
GROVE CITY -- Tyler Luchey hauled in a 2-yard touchdown pass from Bryan Stafford in the fourth quarter to snap a 34-34 tie and give Sharpsville a 41-34 win over Lakeview in a District 10 Class A semifinal game Friday.
The victory vaults Sharpsville (10-1) into next week's District 10 championship game against West Middlesex, which was a 42-0 winner over Farrell.
Luchey caught a pair of touchdown passes from Stafford and also returned a fumble 55 yards for a touchdown for Sharpsville, which trailed 15-0 before getting on the scoreboard in the first quarter.
Derrick Odem ran for a pair of third-quarter touchdowns for the Blue Devils.
Blake Reddick ran for 243 yards and three touchdowns for Lakeview (7-5). His touchdown runs of 68 and 41 yards in the first quarter gave the Sailors an early lead, but Luchey's 43-yard touchdown reception and his fumble return cut the gap to 15-13 at the end of the first quarter.

In two days, the Penn State football program appears to have fortified its interior defensive line for years to come.
After Penn State received a verbal commitment from consensus top-15 defensive tackle Evan Hailes of Virginia on Friday, the Binghamton, N.Y. Press & Sun-Bulletin reported late Saturday that Johnson City High School's DaQuan Jones has followed suit by giving the Nittany Lions his oral pledge during a weekend visit.
"I went there and was very comfortable with the coaches," Jones, who was working out at the Lions' senior camp, told the Press & Sun-Bulletin. "They made me feel very comfortable. I got on the field there, and I just felt good about them."
Article Photos
Nicknamed "DaDa'' (pronounced "day-day''), the 6-foot-4, 302-pound Jones is ranked as the No. 14 offensive guard in the country by Rivals.com. Most colleges - including Penn State - recruited Jones for defense, though: Scout.com ranks him as the ninth-best defensive tackle in the country.
Efforts to reach Jones Sunday were unsuccessful, but his local newspaper reported that his other finalists included Boston College, Maryland, Syracuse and Pitt. Rutgers, North Carolina State, UConn and Illinois had also offered scholarships to the all-division and Binghamton all-metro selection.
Jones becomes the Lions' 10th commitment for 2010. He visited Penn State during spring practice, and the Lions were long considered to be one of his leaders, although they hadn't offered until just a few weeks ago.
Although messages left for Johnson City coach Fred Deinhardt on Sunday were not immediately returned, the Mirror spoke to him about Jones' recruitment in May.
"College like his ability to move at his size,'' Deinhardt said. "He plays basketball. He moves like running back.''
As a junior, Jones finished with approximately 60 tackles to go along with three sacks, two fumble recoveries and a forced fumble for the 5-5 Wildcats. He reportedly bench presses 330 pounds and squats 500 pounds.
"I can locate the ball as soon as it's snapped. I try to be aggressive but play smart. I like to dominate and make sure that I make the big play,'' Jones told Scout.com. "But I want to work on my hands and use my hands more. I'm working on my rips and moves and I really want to improve my bull rush.''
Jones said in an interview with Rivals.com that he still is undecided about taking more visits and would discuss that with Deinhardt today.
Penn State, meanwhile, might not be done recruiting defensive tackles, either. Jones' and Hailes' commitments are not expected to affect Penn State's pursuit of national top 100 prospect Sharrif Floyd of Philadelphia George Washington. Floyd is a consensus top-five defensive tackle.
The Lions may still be reaping the benefits of this weekend's visits in the coming days, too. State College receiver Alex Kenney and Michigan quarterback Robert Bolden were among the uncommitted prospects at Penn State this weekend. Rumors circulated that Kenney had committed, but he has since denied them.
Bolden had a chance to work with Kenney, as well as current Lion commitments P.J. Jones and Adrian Coxson with the quarterbacks and receivers at camp, and there is speculation that he could be close to a college choice. Bolden was believed to be down to Penn State and Michigan State, but the Lions appear to be in the driver's seat since Spartans received a pledge from in-state signal-caller Joe Boisture last week and are only expected to sign one quarterback in this class.

About This Book
Charles Darwin published The Origin of Species, his revolutionary tract on evolution and the fundamental ideas involved, in 1859. Nearly 150 years later, the theory of evolution continues to create tension between the scientific and religious communities. Challenges about teaching the theory of evolution in schools occur annually all over the country. This same debate raged within Darwin himself, and played an important part in his marriage: his wife, Emma, was quite religious, and her faith gave Charles a lot to think about as he worked on a theory that continues to spark intense debates.
Deborah Heiligman's new biography of Charles Darwin is a thought-provoking account of the man behind evolutionary theory: how his personal life affected his work and vice versa. The end result is an engaging exploration of history, science, and religion for young readers.

Alumni venture is part adventure, part ministry
They may seem unlikely business partners - one holds a degree in finance and the other in missions - but longtime friends Jason Boone and Stephen Powell have paired up for a rollercoaster of entrepreneurial adventure that has taken them around the globe.
They now have landed in Kenya, where they are working with BlueSky, an organization that offers Christian youth camps, leadership-building adventure trips and soon will open East Africa's first indoor climbing gym.
Though it may seem an unusual approach, their adventure-seeking has become a ministry in progress for the 2010 graduates of ACU. Their vision is to build their own adventure expedition business with a strong ministry component.
"We want to start a camp somewhere in the world, reaching out to the local community, providing jobs, using those passions God has put on our hearts to ultimately witness to a given community," says Jason, a missions graduate.
"Kenya, like most of the continent, has the disease of poverty," he says. "It robs you of dignity and respect, things you can't give back with charity. That's why we want to provide jobs in the community along with our outreach."
Building relationships through adventure
Their vision has grown along with their friendship.
"We've come together in a dream that started for me when I was 14 and got back from mission trip in Brazil," says Jason. "Stephen and I grew up in Abilene together, roomed together as freshmen, did Young Life throughout college together, worked summer camps together, played sports together, have traveled all over the world together. I shared with Stephen this vision God put on my heart. In talking about it so much, it became both of our dreams - really it's God's vision."
Between them, they've made education or mission-related visits to more than a dozen countries, most recently Egypt, Lebanon and South Africa.
The stint in Kenya is an opportunity to become adventure missions qualified, says Stephen, who majored in finance but never envisioned sitting behind a desk working for a corporation. "It's our grad school," he quips.
They share the message of Christ by forming relationships during those expeditions.
"If you give someone a really cool experience and you are part of a meaningful experience in their lives, it builds a relationship that God can use," explains Stephen. "We can do adventure trips and be relational, and we can mentor kids through that."
"Seeing how this gospel story really works, that captivated us both," adds Jason. "Especially for young boys, it's exciting to get out and conquer this adventure. [We wanted to show that] Christians can do really cool things. We all see the benefit of how God uses that platform."

A desire for mystery and exhilaration may come over you suddenly today, causing you to look at your life with an overly critical eye. You may feel that your innate worldliness and expansive nature is being stifled by your routines. You can ease this discontent easily by examining your emotions to determine what it is you are truly seeking. If you find yourself dreaming of foreign lands, you may be able to fulfill your desires by exploring unfamiliar areas of your hometown or by doing exhaustive research of those countries that intrigue you. Should you find yourself presented with an opportunity to travel today, seriously considering how you might fit a journey into your schedule can lift your spirits.
Often, we can curb feelings of restlessness by widening the boundaries of our experience through an exploration of all the world has to offer. Many people lead limited lives, restricted in their habits by commitment thrust upon them by obligation or circumstance. To step out of the daily grind for a time in order to explore what is outside the realm of our experience is to acknowledge that we need variety in our lives to truly thrive. Indulging wanderlust through travel or study enables us to introduce exciting and stimulating diversity into our daily routines and reminds us that there is more to life than responsibility. And as we learn about the world, our lives are touched by wonder. Your boredom will become fascination today as you expose yourself to new cultures and ideologies.

Reading, UK, 31th January, 2013 – Stibo Systems has been selected by Dutch holiday company Landal GreenParks to manage the quality of its product data, from its resort facilities to its accommodation types. By improving its information management, the company is looking to achieve more efficient business processes and greater customer satisfaction.
Stibo Systems' STEP Master Data Management (MDM) platform will serve as a single point of information for Landal GreenParks' Product Information Management (PIM) and Digital Asset Management (DAM) services. An important component of a new e-commerce platform, it will be the source of all the company's product data, including up-to-the-minute information on assets such as restaurants, bungalows and swimming pools, and much more, as well as all its digital marketing and advertising data, such as brochure images and online video.
Egon Kramer, manager e-commerce at Landal GreenParks, said "Product Data Management is essential for our multichannel operation. Stibo Systems' solution will help us to manage all our available content so that the information is complete, up-to-date, accurate, and consistent across all our channels. Improved information management will lead to better visibility internally, and a more relevant and satisfying experience in all stages of the customers journey."
Kramer explains: "Each potential guest has different needs when planning their holiday, to when they come to book it. They could use a number of touch points to research their stay and, by responding to this behaviour, we can offer better services.
"We can add additional services as their purchase journey progresses, and the cross-sell opportunities we offer, such as being able to order groceries online before arrival, reserve the sauna or book a table in the restaurant, will improve the customer experience. By partnering with Stibo Systems we can better manage our product information to meet the expectations of the guest, resulting in happy customers returning to our sites and a higher Net Promoter Score."
Tim Bon, Stibo Systems Benelux adds "Because our STEP Master Data Management system works across all of a customer's channels, and integrates with other IT systems, Landal GreenParks will have a scalable solution with faster time-to-market, which is also future-proof, to be able to respond to developments in mobile and social."

McD Monopoly Game: Mail-in vs. Hash Browns Epic Challenge Part 4
It's been a long month, to say the least. McDonald's Monopoly unexpectedly started two months early, forcing Jim and me to scramble around and figure out what to do. Then in haste we decided it'd be smart to buy tons of food and write even more SASE letters than last year.
And we did it. Whew.
Today's the final day to input codes online for the game, so we figured it's the perfect time to wrap up our little experiment.
In part 1 Jim bought 200 hash browns while I stamped 500 SASE letters to McDonald's, Part 2 involved the peeling of all the greasy, grimey pieces off the hash browns and cataloging, and part 3 kicked off with my receipt of 494 of my 500 letters from McDonald's, containing 1,976 pieces.
Below is a breakdown of our results. Enjoy!

RESEARCH HANDBOOK ON THE ECNOMICS OF PROPERTY LAW, p. 296, Kenneth Ayotte & Henry E. Smith, eds., 2011
Arizona Legal Studies Discussion Paper No. 09-13
Traditional servitudes running with the land bristled with complex legal limitations, but those limitations served three comprehensible overlapping goals: assuring that potential future landowners would learn about servitude obligations, that they could renegotiate obligations, and that the obligations themselves served useful purposes. This chapter argues that changes in recording and equity jurisprudence permitted simplification of servitude law. But it further argues that simplification has had dynamic effects: developers and other real estate innovators have responded by "pushing the envelope," extending servitudes into new areas, ultimately re-creating, in different guises, the problems addressed by older servitude law. It illustrates this dynamic with three different types of servitudes: the rise and demise of racially restrictive covenants; the use of servitudes in common interest communities; and the new uses of servitudes for conservation purposes.

An abnormal size of the male chest..where on a fat or skinny guy has (breasts)

You morons are all fucking stupid. Gynecomastia comes in two forms, one is caused by obesity where sometimes the fat stores in the chest area, creating breasts in fat men. The other one is caused by a hormone imbalance in men that causes breast tissue to form underneath the nipple area, so even if you are skinny, you can have big boobs. Don't feel bad if you have it, as there is a cure. Most plastic surgeons generally charge $1000-$5000 dollars to do a glandular excision and/or liposcution in that area, removing them.
Many celebrities have it too, like Simon Cowell, for example.

Don't let anybody push you down for having man boobs. Beat their asses or something for twisting your nipples, that's the only way they learn.

Contrary to popular belief, not all manboobs are caused by fat. Some men are naturally born with higher amounts of estrogen then others and once they hit puberty start growing actual breast tissue. In fact, almost 1/3 of evry male has some form of it, though it may not be noticable.
But yes, most manboobs are just fat on overweight people.

One of my favorite romantic themes is when friends become lovers—when both the hero and the heroine slowly realize exactly how perfect they are for each other. And so as I was writing Demon Forged, the next novel in the "Guardian" series, I couldn't resist the theme. My hero and heroine, Alejandro and Irena, have been friends for over four hundred years. It's true that they don't see each other very often, and that when their paths cross, they begin to argue almost before any greetings pass their lips—but as they tell every Guardian who asks, they are just friends.
Of course, they aren't fooling anyone.
The truth is, Alejandro and Irena were almost lovers once, until—to save Alejandro's life—Irena was forced to make a terrible bargain with a demon. Alejandro has never forgiven himself, Irena has her own shame to bear, and so they let each other go. But the pain of their mutual loss wounded them deeply, and now they cannot prevent themselves from lashing out at each other—all the while pretending that they don't hurt anymore.
But after a vampire's call for help throws them back together, Irena and Alejandro can't pretend anymore. They must put aside their painful history, and take those steps toward true friendship, passion, and the deep and powerful love that will help them overcome the tragedy and betrayal that threatens to destroy the foundations of the Guardian universe.
I hope that you will take those steps with them. Irena and Alejandro let each other go, but their romance will grab you by the throat and won't release you until the last page—when they are truly friends, when they are lovers, and every painful step back into each other's arms is worth the effort.
Happy reading,
Meljean Brook

Intermittent heavy rain caused a number of interruptions and abandonments in the Birmingham Premier Division but there was no material effect on the top of the table where leaders Shrewsbury fought hard to earn a winning draw over Knowle & Dorridge.
In one of the few games that lasted the full allocation of 110 overs, the in-form Ed Foster hit 64 and Tom Cox scored 60 in Shrewsbury's total of 237 all out with leg-spinner Chris Davidson taking 5-65 for the visitors who had reached 209 for six by the close.
Sam Reddish (62 not out) and Alex Phillips (56) made half-centuries but K & D missed an opportunity to peg Shrewsbury back by spurning a tempting target of 70 from the last 10 overs with wickets in hand.
Brockhampton's match with relegation threatened Walmley was abandoned with the visitors scoreless without loss from five balls after dismissing the Herefordshire side for 173. Chris Powell scored 64 while Walmley skipper Greg Ricketts picked up 4-29.
This allowed Kidderminster Victoria to move up to second place (albeit 39 points behind the leaders) who came away from Walsall with a winning draw after the home side lost 13 overs from its allocation due to a couple of rain breaks.
Neil Pinner scored 48 in Kiddi's total of 236 for eight while opening batsman Tim Maxfield illustrated his increasing potential as an all-rounder with 4-77 for Walsall. A disappointing Walsall response saw them slip to 77 for five, with Maxfield scoring 34, before Mark Green (38) and Steven Plant (32) effected a recovery to 160 for eight after 42 overs.
Biggest movers of the day were West Bromwich Dartmouth with a six wicket win over Wolverhampton who were restricted to 199 for nine. Worcestershire duo Tom Fell (44) and Chris Russell (37 not out) were the best of the batsmen for Wolves with Brinder Phagura taking 3-58 for Dartmouth who eased to victory thanks to 48 from Kadeer Ali and 40 from Basit Zaman.
Dartmouth's win takes them above Walsall and lifts them over Berkswell and Himley who were involved in a rain affected draw at Berkswell who recovered from 68 for four and 110 for five to reach 234 for five thanks to an unbroken partnership of 134 between Dominic Ostler (117 not out) and Mo Akhlaq (22 not out).
Ostler hit 10 fours and six sixes and faced 94 balls after James Neale opened up with 43. Ben Smith (75), Jamie Harris (37) and Tom Kohler-Cadmore (32) took Himley to 184 for four from 40.4 overs before the game came to a premature conclusion.
Barnt Green eased their relegation fears with an easy seven wicket success over rock-bottom Wombourne who are now 52 points short of safety.
Ed Denham hit 66 in Wombourne's total of 150 with Andy Sutton (4-23) and Tom Burton (3-36) doing the damage for Barnt Green before Burton (55 not out) and Craig Crowe (45) eased the Worcestershire club alongside Wolverhampton who have slipped back into trouble, 21 points ahead of Walmley who sit in the second relegation place on 120 points.

quote: Rumors and speculation? How can the same not be said for any other company that can, and does?
quote: Point 1 is what's driving the entire smartphone market, and not raw specs like your average DT reader would think.
quote: Point iii is a silly one. Most people buying Apple probably aren't too concerned with upgrades. If they are, they find out how to do it themselves when possible. Is that not the point of DIY? Isn't that what all OEM's do with upgrades, huge markups?...
quote: Apple is certainly not the only company that likes to exploit workers. Also, since Foxconn supplies parts for many other large companies, does the company only exploit the workers making products for Apple?
quote: Quite complex, which is why I don't understand the point in arguing that Apple may be getting away with more than others. Why single them out over and over again, as opposed to actually going at the root of the problem?
quote: 2. Apple is recordly profitable. Granted that profitability is heavily driven by: i. Exploitive labor contracts, which are rumored to be far worse than the industry average. ii. One of the most abusive records when it comes to exploiting loopholes for the purposes of tax evasion. iii. Nickel and diming customers with massive markups for things like extra RAM or a bit more NAND.

quote: ii. Should we bring up the Google offices around the world?? Effective tax rate of 2.4%??http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2010-10-21/google-2-...
quote: Google Inc. (GOOG) -- makers of the world's most used smartphone operating system and the world's most used search engine -- based itself in Ireland and has subsidiaries in the Caribbean and Luxembourg for more tax dodging gains.Google told The Daily Mail that this scheme -- which many would call "tax dodging" -- is necessary in today's corporate atmosphere, as responsibility to shareholders. States a Google spokesperson, "We have an obligation to our shareholders to set up a tax-efficient structure, and our present structure is compliant with the tax rules in all the countries where we operate."
quote: The President's support of Google also raises some eyebrows given Google's clever use of the "Double Irish" and "Dutch Sandwich" (legal) tax evasion strategies, funneling money through Ireland, the Netherlands and Bermuda, courtesy of federal loopholes, to avoid paying federal income taxes on its profits. These strategies reportedly saved Google $1B USD in 2011 and cut the company's effective tax rate to 18.8 percent, far less than the standard 35-40 most small businesses pay on earnings.Google officially raised almost a million dollars for the President's election bid.
quote: All your evidence can be said about your favorites, Google, AMD, etc..You simply are biased against Apple, and to a lesser extent Intel. Every one of your blogs related to either is evidence of that.
quote: Dude - do you really believe the silly stuff that you type? That there is some dark nefarious reasons that Apple takes everyone else to the cleaners? When the real reason is just so simple: Apple are just better at what they do than anyone else.
quote: 2. Apple is recordly profitable. Granted that profitability is heavily driven by:i. Exploitive labor contracts, which are rumored to be far worse than the industry average.
quote: Ironcially, Apple appears to be less concerned about factory conditions than its competitors, because of the company's unwillingness to talk with advocacy groups like China Labor Watch and Students and Scholars Against Corporate Misbehavior. Li said Dell and HP responded to his group's reports about working conditions in their factories, but Apple ignored them. SACOM's Debby Chan told us she had had helpful conversations with both Dell and HP, but Apple had refused to meet with her."Dell and Hewlett Packard are not doing as good as Apple is doing right now," Li Said. "But when we talk about publicity and public relations, it's another story."
quote: "Although I know that the iPhone 4 is made at sweat shop factories in China, I still think that this is the only choice, because Apple is actually one of the best. Actually before I made a decision, I compared Apple with other cell phone companies, such as Nokia," he said through a translator. "And the conditions in those factories are worse than the ones of Apple."
quote: Though he believes that Apple has done a better job of inspecting its factories than others, Li maintains that the public is right to put more pressure on Tim Cook's company than its competitors who have the same problems. Because Apple makes the most profit, he reasons, it also bears the most responsibility for fixing a broken system. He maintains that it wouldn't take more than 2-percent of Apple's profits to dramatically improve workers' lives in China while companies such as Dell and HP would have to spend more."Although we think Apple is among the best in terms of auditing, we still think that Apple can do more because it is the most profitable company in the world," he said. "As soon as Apple is willing to give a small percentage of its profits, the workers can benefit a lot. But Apple is not willing to do that."
quote: He's also an asshole.

As Sierra Vista Junior High School Principal Randy Parker prepares to kick back into retirement, officials in the William S. Hart Union High School District are set to appoint a new principal for the school Wednesday.
Parker spent 31 years at the Hart district, working at Saugus High School before serving as principal of Sierra Vista. He was principal at Sierra Vista for the last 10 years.
"The staff here is wonderful," he said. "I've had the chance to hire about 90 percent of them. I know that they're incredibly caring people. Not being able to be around them on a regular basis is hard."
Hart board members will appoint Parker's replacement during Wednesday's meeting.
"I am passing the torch to someone else," he said. "It's a good healthy place for kids and it's a good healthy place for adults."
Upon retiring, Parker plans to spend more time with his family, he said.
Parker took his first teaching job in 1969 as the JV baseball coach for Crespi High School in Encino.
He decided to make the jump to the growing Hart district in the late 70s, a decision he calls the "best single career move."
Parker, 60, spent 20 years at Saugus High School as a science teacher and coach for the freshman football team and track team, he said.
By 1982, Parker became athletic director and moved to an administrative role as a way to impact kids in a bigger way, he said.

User Bio
TWITTER: @VogtRoberts
Hailing from the ruins of Detroit, Jordan Vogt-Roberts started doing two things at a young age to prepare himself as a director:
1) dealing with the hassle of a hyphenated last name.
2) Making stop-motion movies in his basement with Lego and Batman toys.
Flash forward a quarter of a century when he and a group of stand up comedians created the website Blerds.com to showcase videos he produced and directed. These videos, which the Chicago Tribune dubbed an "inspired mix of stand-up and visual storytelling," quickly generated millions of views. Subsequent screenings at various festivals, including HBO's Comedy Festival in Las Vegas, led to a deal with Tribal DDB, which Adweek had just named "Interactive Agency of the Year."
Since moving to Los Angeles, Jordan has directed web content for Warner 2.0, FOX International, Comedy.com, FOX Digital and babelgum among others, and will soon branch into television with an hour-long special he conceived and will direct for Comedy Central called "Mash UP".
His 25-minute short film 'Successful Alcoholics' premiered at Sundance 2010.

With Michael Mann and David Milch behind the camera and a cast led by Dustin Hoffman and Nick Nolte, HBO was practically counting the Emmys for this horse-racing drama before it even premiered. Maybe viewers weren't interested in the milieu, because "Luck" premiered to low numbers. And maybe they found the twisted lingo and Milchian patter too hard to follow, because numbers dropped. HBO still renewed the show as a point of pride and "Luck" earned some solid reviews as the season progressed, but early in production on Season Two, the plug was pulled after the deaths of multiple horses. As a final insult to injury, "Luck" received zero Emmy nominations. What should have been one of the year's creative triumphs ended up being one of its saddest stories.

Compared to the other two images, Dione would be easier to circulate around and deciphering the layout. lt's just pure substance. Yeah, it's the smallest of the three targets, but BIGGER Isn't BETTER.
There is probably more on Mercury to know than there is on Jupiter, we just can't get close enough to figure out what it is before being cooked by the sun. lt can be determined that Dione has much to be discovered, though being the underdog in this contest. Think about all that rock-like ice that needs to be examined ! lf you must, sleep on it that Dione is your next destination for the probe.
Besides, we already have enough information about Saturn, and laeptus looks hard to figure out due to the formation of the surface and the disorganized resources. You would have easy patience observing and analysing due to the predictable orbit patterns as it speeds up or slows down around Saturn. This gives the probe time to snap pictures and feedback to NASA as they try and exclaim what's going on. The necessity of this potential mission has a high chance to demonstrate the future of modern analysis.
The position of the craters, the brightness of the actual surface, and the depth of the satellite can't be denied. The only reason why l'm not telling you factoids about the moon itself (which I assume most of these essays will enquire) is because of one sole reason - I don't want to bore you with information you probably already know, that's not the purpose of this writing assignment. Therefore, I try my best to persuade you while still being truthful to the cause. Anyways, back on topic. If you hadn't noticed this moon behaves in a way that's similar to our moon, which we already know a plethora about it.(e.g - Dione only faces one side towards its planet, Saturn). This might seem like a contradiction to the "factoid" problem I've just explained, but it's more than you would think.
By saying the similarities between the two moons, it's an implication that scientists would be more comfortable with studying something they are already so familiar with. Would you rather be with the same reliable cable company you've been with your whole life or just move on to another one you've seen in a random infomercial. I guess that's debatable, but what would make you switch?lf that infomercial REALLY convinced you and had very influential material behind it, that's reasonable. It's kind of the same method I'm trying to use against you. The Cassini probe should be on-route to something that has a huge probability of promise. According to NASA, the next flyby trek for the probe is apparently heading towards Titan. While you work on it, I plead you to think about what I have just listed, than decide if it's essential or just another pointless 'rant' "

Young Adolf was published in 1978 and was Beryl Bainbridge's first and only historical novel until the 1990s. Many its characters are inspired by real people: besides the protagonist Adolf Hitler, there is his half-brother Alois, Alois' English wife Bridget and their baby Pat. Some other names mentioned in the novel - mainly those of relatives of the future dictator, such as his brother Edwin or his half-sister Angela - are also those of real historical people. Other important but fictional characters are Meyer, the Jewish landlord and future friend of Adolf, Mary O'Leary, another tenant, Dr Kephalus, a somewhat mysterious doctor and friend of Meyer's, Mr Dupont, a guest at the Adelphi Hotel, and the "…

Bethlehem is stepping in to help a neighborhood that's overrun with rats.
People living in the 100 block of East Garrison Street said they've been pleading with the city to take control of the infestation, and Monday, they did.
Officials spent the day setting up traps in a vacant home that's believed to be the source of the problem.
Neighbors said the rats have been invading homes and causing major damage in the area for years.
"Whenever we don't have a cat in the house, it's a guarantee that our cupboards will be eaten through. I've actually bought groceries and the next day had them completely destroyed by rats," David Frye.
"I've had to kill them with baseball bats, also. If the snap trap doesn't kill them, I've had to kill them," said Judith Koch.
Koch said the rats have even stolen her dog's toys and used them to build their nests.

Sony to launch Motion Controller in autumn
Ciara O'Brien
The Wii made motion-sensitive controllers a permanent feature of gaming, and Sony is now set to unveil its latest contribution – with a slight delay.
The Motion Controller for PS3, originally pencilled in for a spring launch, will hit the shelves in autumn 2010 in Europe, Japan, Asia and North America, and will be accompanied by what Sony Computer Entertainment promises will be "an extensive line-up of exciting software titles".
The controller will combine with the PlayStation Eye camera to detect hand movement and reflect it on screen.
However, unlike other motion sensitive controllers, the Playstation Eye camera will be a requirement to use the motion controller. This will set you back anything from €30 upwards, and can be bundled with games designed for use with the camera, such as EyePet.
Details are bit thin on the ground: there's no pricing information just yet, and it's unclear if Sony will offer the camera with the new controller .
It's also not known what these promised exciting software titles will be, but Sony has a bit of catching up to do with the Wii when it comes to motion sensitive games. Nintendo has carved out quite a niche for itself, particularly among casual gamers. Sony will have to pull out some great games – and get third party developers on board – to make the controller anything but a nice add-on for the console.
Xbox's Project Natal is also on the way this year.

Photographs of two kisses are juxtaposed on this poster, each symptomatic of different political cultures. The first kiss is an official greeting between the former Soviet leader Leonid Brezhnev and Erich Honecker, head of the GDR (the communist-ruled German Democratic Republic) until October 1989 and one of the most hard-line of the Eastern Bloc leaders. It captures the stale officialdom and secrecy of Soviet-style politics. The second kiss between a young man and woman sitting outdoors suggests youth, a more open future and the freedom of the individual. The poster is a relatively makeshift design that is roughly reproduced. However as an irreverently humorous and sharp political comment it quickly achieved cult status.

In East Germany the Green Party had access to the resources of a wide network of European green parties and organisations. This resulted in one of the most technically polished of the posters that were produced for the East German elections of February 1990. It was designed by Holger Matthies, a prominent West German graphic designer. Disregard for environmental protection under the communist GDR (German Democratic Republic) made the environment a key campaign issue in the first elections after the fall of the Berlin Wall.

This poster produced soon after the collapse of communist government in Czechoslovakia is a jubilant celebration of the 'velvet revolution' and of the Civic Forum, one of the opposition organisations that led the Revolution. It employs the iconography of the comet as a symbol of hope and a harbinger of momentous events. This comet marks the propitious birth of a new Czechoslovakia with the 'OF' logo of Civic Forum (Občanské Fórum) glowing at its heart. It is one of a number of 'Christmas posters' issued in December 1989 that incorporate religious imagery, signalling an end to the oppression of religion and linking the Civic Forum with moral values.

The slogan 'With a clean path, into a clean future' is repeated multiple times to give it visual form, creating a runway that vanishes into the future. The sky is populated with soaring birds, the symbol of the Alliance of Free Democrats, in the red, white and green colours of the national flag.

Poster issued by Solidarity Independent Trade Union
'December 1970'
Krystyna Janiszewska
Lithograph on paper
Museum no. E.2098-1990
This poster commemorates the massacre of striking Polish workers by government forces at the Gdaÿsk shipyard in December 1970. It preserves the memory of a traumatic event that was lodged in popular consciousness, but officially glossed over. The stark statement of the date needed no explanation or elaboration. The artist has simply turned the 7 into a cross suggesting the martyrdom of the workers in the cause of opposition. It was produced in 1980 for the newly formed Solidarity Independent Trade Union when the Gdaÿsk shipyard was again the scene of political conflict between the workers and the communist government.

Colour offset lithograph on paper
Museum no. E.5-1991
Given by the Romanian Writers' Union
This is one of a set of posters that reproduced original student protest graphics painted or drawn in the streets of Bucharest. The photographs were taken during the uprising in December 1989 and published in poster form by the Association of French Librarians in order to preserve the images and give them a wider dissemination. In contrast to the largely peaceful transitions of power in other Eastern European countries, Romania's revolution entailed significant violence and loss of life. This reality is reflected in a visceral image of handprints raised in protest and submerged in blood.

Lithuania achieved independence in 1918, but was incorporated into the Soviet Union as a constituent republic in 1940. The poster scornfully illustrates the lack of electoral choice under Soviet rule. It depicts Stalin with images of other Soviet officials encased within his monumental form and the photomontage style recalls the posters of the early Stalinist era. However Stalin is emphatically crossed out and symbolically decapitated by the voter's mark. The poster was issued by Sajÿdis, the political organisation founded in 1988 that led the Lithuanian struggle to regain independence.

This poster depicting a woman in traditional Estonian folk dress (from the Setu region) is an assertion of national culture. The photograph is cropped to focus on her silver jewellery which held an important place within national heritage and collective memory. This particular style of jewellery is associated with the period of Estonian independence 1918-40 and included large chains of the tsarist silver coins that had been taken out of circulation when Estonia gained independence from Russia. Much of this jewellery was sold, confiscated or hidden during the early Soviet era. The hands are those of an elderly woman - a witness of pre-communist life.

Václav Jirásek, Bratrstvo
Offset lithograph printed in black and red on paper
Museum no. E.2035-1990
The text 'Truth is Victorious' was the presidential motto in pre-communist Czechoslovakia and a proverb rooted in the country's history and mythology. Together with this slogan, the photograph of a young man proudly holding the Czechoslovak flag can be read as a symbol of the re-emergent independent spirit of the nation. The Bratrstvo (Brotherhood) was a multi-media group of photographers, painters, writers and musicians modelled on the romantic artistic brotherhoods of the past (particularly the nineteenth-century British Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood). Their work drew on fairytale and mythology, but also on 1950s socialist realist art. The socialist realist overtones of the figure in this photograph introduce an element of ambiguity into the poster.

'Workers' Militia'
Krzysztof Ducki
Offset lithograph printed in black and yellow on paper
Museum no. E.160-1991
Given by Mücsarnok, Budapest, through Krisztina Jerger
This poster is campaigning against the continued existence of the Workers' Militia during the period of democratic reform in Hungary. The Workers' Militia was a voluntary armed force closely linked with the Hungarian Socialist Workers' Party that had ruled the country since 1956. The artist represents the Workers' Militia as a fearsome set of false teeth. It is an adroit visual metaphor, implying that the militia is an old organisation that belongs to the past, but is still potentially dangerous. The teeth have been taken out and put in a glass, referring to the efforts that the Workers' Militia was making to erase its cruel image. The implied warning is that the fangs could still be put back in – and bite.

In his novel Nineteen Eighty-Four, George Orwell used the slogan '2 plus 2 equals five' as a demonstration of the false dogma and absurdity expounded by a totalitarian state. In response, the protagonist of the novel, Will Smith, claims that 'Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four'. 'Two plus two equals five' was originally a communist slogan in the USSR suggesting that the goals of the first five year plan could be achieved a year early if people worked harder. Tomaszewski was one of the greatest masters of the Polish Poster School, which was renowned from the 1950s for its painterly approach, irony and visual metaphor.

On August 23 1989 an estimated two million people in Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia demonstrated against Soviet rule by joining hands and forming a human chain that stretched for nearly 400 miles across the three Baltic states. This extraordinary mass protest took place on the 50th anniversary of the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact of August 23 1939, when Germany and the Soviet Union had staked out their territorial claims in Europe, an agreement which led to the Soviet occupation of the Baltic states. This photographic poster documents the spectacle and draws on the iconography of revolutionary action, emphasising the solidarity and spirit of the demonstrators.

Food shortages and bread queues resulting from the agrarian policies of communist dictator Nicolae Ceauÿescu were a key factor in precipitating revolution in Romania. The loaves of bread illustrated on this poster for the democratic elections in 1990 hold out the promise of a better future. However the realist style of the poster and the radiating party emblem maintain some visual continuity with official propaganda from before the revolution.

This poster is a succinct graphic representation of the collapse of communist rule and the re-emergence of an independent Hungary. The insignia of the People's Socialist Republic of Hungary cracks and breaks apart to reveal an older coat of arms belonging to the Hungarian Kingdom of the Middle Ages. This was the coat of arms adopted in 1990 as the official symbol of the new Hungarian Republic. The communist symbols are rendered grey and tomb-like in contrast to the colour of the national coat of arms.

Election poster issued by the United Left
'Vote With Your Head'
Artist unknown
Lithograph printed in black and red on paper
Museum no. E.2065-1990
The intentionally 'primitive' and low tech style of this election poster expresses the urgency and excitement of events following the collapse of communist rule in East Germany. The style echoes the paintings of the New Fauves (Neue Wilden) in West Germany who were held in high international regard around the world. It is printed in colour, although other posters of the United Left were cheaply printed in black and then hand-coloured in red crayon or felt tip pen by party workers. The poster asks the voter to consider the policies of the parties contesting the election rather than 'punishing' the Left in the ballot box for its associations with the pre-1989 communist government.

Václav Havel was a key figure in the 'Velvet Revolution' that ended communist rule in Czechoslovakia and a founder of the opposition movement Civic Forum. His charismatic personality and leadership made him a focus of the country's hopes for a democratic future and his image inspired widespread loyalty. The Castle in Prague is the seat of the president and the slogan 'Havel to the Castle' was a call for Havel to become president. He was selected as president of Czechoslovakia by parliament in December 1989 and was re-elected as president by the Federal Assembly after the free elections in June 1990. This photograph by Miloš Fikejz portrays Havel as a bohemian, a world-worn but visionary dissident. His image evolves in later posters which present him in a suit with the body language of a statesman.

Screenprint in red on paper
Museum no. E.2083-1990
The Alliance of the United Left (Aktionsbündis Vereinigte Linke/AVL) was formed out of the ruins of the Socialist Unity Party of Germany (Sozialistische Einheitspartei Deutschkands/SED) to contest the elections of March 1990 for the Volkskammer. The election was in effect a plebiscite for the reunification of Germany.
This design sought to raise the spectre of the Americanisation of the country through one of its most powerful symbols of capitalism, Coke, Using the brand's characteristic colour scheme and lettering the AVL asked the viewer whether a united Germany would mean the consumption of East Germany by the market. The answer was clear when the conservative Alliance for Germany effectively won and set about working for reunification, an event that took place in October 1990.

Colour offset lithograph printed on paper
Museum no. E.153-1991
Given by Mücsarnok, Budapest, through Kristzina Jerger. Reproduced courtesy of DACS, London 1997
Péter Pócs's poster imagines the demise of Communism and commemorates the 1956 Hungarian popular uprising crushed by Soviet forces. In a reversal of the events of 1956, the red star symbol of the red army is held powerless in a trap. The artist wanted to depict Communism as a live, actively oppressive force, and formed the star from raw flesh. It glistens in the strong light and seems to writhe in agony as the metal bites.
The poster was published on the occasion of the memorial ceremony for the reburial of Imre Nagy, the Hungarian statesman who led the revolutionary government of 1956, and the other executed leaders of the uprising. Although the poster had originally been commissioned by one of the new political parties, the Alliance of Free Democrats, when they saw the design, they were afraid to publish it. Pócs therefore went ahead on his own, challenging the censorship regulations which forbade publication by individuals.
