Della Wells embraces family's past through art dolls
When Milwaukee artist Della Wells was a little girl, she and her mother saved cereal box tops and sent them in to get a free doll. The doll was like a little pillow, stuffed and easy to cozy up with. She also remembers getting her very first black doll. Her aunt gave it to her.

Resnik delivers shattering portrait of Judy Garland in Rep's 'Rainbow'
In "I Could Go On Singing," which would be her last film, Judy Garland plays Jenny Bowman, a dead ringer for Judy Garland: a gifted but troubled singer who both resents and craves her time in the limelight.
"I don't want to be rolled out like a pastry so that everybody can get a nice big bite of me," Jenny insists at one point. »Read Full Article

(Free PDF) The Unexplored Parallel of Personal Development
Matt Clarkson recently created this wonderful quick report that shares some of the pitfalls that most personal development paths unfortunately share, and he also gives you one quick way to raise your vibration and manifest more easily.
The 'secret' he shares is one which touches upon something I've also known about for a while and value highly, yet it seems few people realize how important it is for living a joyful, abundant, and peaceful life.
The good news is, you don't even have to enter your name / email to get the report. 🙂
And now for a quote…
"There actually are great spiritual secrets. They exist. The thing about spiritual secrets is that you can tell them openly because the ability to understand something and then the power to integrate into your life are two very different things." – Guy Finley
I share the quote above from Guy Finley because even though what Matt shares in his new report is actually quite SIMPLE, it's also incredibly powerful. If you actually see past the simplicity and apply it to your life, you will see a significant change in your results… you'll find peace, joy, abundance, all of that faster.
And while life isn't a race to the end, what I do know is that my journey here on Earth is limited. So I figure that the quicker and more effectively that I am able to transform my life, the more of this limited journey I'm going to be able to enjoy.
Also, I know Matt is going to be giving away lots of more great content – even though he doesn't ask for your email address – I do recommend that you sign up for his email list after you grab your report so you can stay up-to-date on other great information he'll be sharing soon. 🙂

Owens hungry to make early impact at USC
Interview with 2011 tight end signee Drew Owens:
Scout.com profile: Drew Owens
Question: When did you first start playing football, and when exactly did you realize that you wanted to pursue a future in football?
Owens: I started playing when I was about eight, nine, and ten. I played for junior Pee Wee football, and then I moved out of the country so I wasn't able to play again until my freshman year of high school. I played well my freshman and sophomore year, and then my coach told me I had a chance to play D-I, so I pursued it after that and just worked hard at it. I started lifting more and running more. I started getting better at hand-eye coordination, and the next thing you know I'm going to South Carolina.
Question: Where did you move out of the country to, and what was the reason behind that move?
Owens: I moved first to Germany, and then I moved to Italy after that for two years. My dad is in the military, so his job requires him to move.
Question: How would you describe yourself as a tight end? What all do you bring to the table on the football field?
Owens: I think I bring a balanced attack and a balanced skill-set. I can block, I can catch it down the field, and I can flex out as a receiver. I feel like I'm multi-dimensional, and I can bring a lot of assets to the game that other tight ends can't.
Question: What areas would you like to improve in as a football player?
Owens: I'd say blocking at the next level, when I'll go against safeties and Spur 'backers and linebackers. I just want to work on my downfield blocking to allow running backs or wide receivers to make big plays down the field.
Question: Is there any player that you tend to model your game after on the football field?
Owens: It's definitely (San Diego Chargers tight end) Antonio Gates. I feel like he has the ability to catch the ball down the field, run every single route in the route tree, and still block down linemen and outsider 'backers on the outside. When I was younger I played basketball (like Gates). I felt like I was going to play in the NBA, so I pretty much played basketball my whole life until I had the opportunity to play football in high school. I fell in love with football after that, so we have that in common.
Question: I've heard that you take a lot of pride in your training regimen and your overall health. What does a typical day consist of for you in that regard?
Owens: A typical day starts bright and early at 5:30. I like to go for a mile jog in the morning before I go to school. I'll come back and shower, and then after school I'll take a quick nap to get my rest back. Then after that I'll hit my conditioning on the field, running sprints and following my South Carolina workout plan. I go to lift after that. I'm always trying to get better.
Question: Many recruits have said that going through the recruiting process is a once in a lifetime experience. Looking back, what stands out to you about being such a highly recruited prospect?
Owens: It's definitely just the feeling of people wanting you and speaking so highly of you all the time. It gives you a real sense of self worth and lot of self confidence. It really helps you as a player to know your hard work is paying off and people think you're good. It drives you to keep working to get better, so you can prove them right about you.
Question: You ultimately ended up signing with South Carolina, but what were the main schools that you were focused on down the stretch of your recruitment?
Owens: Down the stretch, my top five was Arkansas, South Carolina, North Carolina, NC State, and Virginia Tech.
Question: How close were some of those other schools to possibly swaying you from your decision to attend South Carolina?
Owens: NC State and South Carolina were neck and neck for about three months straight. I went back and forth feeling like I was going to commit to one or the other each day. Then after thinking about it for a while, I just felt like South Carolina was the best fit for me.
Question: What made the difference for you when deciding on South Carolina as your college destination?
Owens: It was the atmosphere of the stadium and the coaching staff that's around the program. The player support there is great, and they have a goal in place for you as a student-athlete. I also want to be the first to do something there, the first team to win a national championship at South Carolina. That's a big goal that we can strive and work for everyday.
Question: Was it difficult for you to turn down offers from the two major in-state schools, UNC and NC State?
Owens: Yes, it was real tough because they were pressuring me real hard. Both of them were recruiting me heavily, so I felt like each time I got a call from them or a message from them I felt obligated to be an in-state hero for those schools. But then I just felt like I needed to spread my wings and go elsewhere.
Question: Even though you live in North Carolina, you're really only an hour and fifteen minutes away from South Carolina's campus. How much did that proximity play into your decision to choose the Gamecocks?
Owens: It was real big, because I have a superstition that I want my mom to be at every single game. I feel like if my mom is there, then I'll play good. The more and more I can see my mom and the more she can see me play, then the better I feel I can be.
Question: Can you talk about your relationship with Coach Jay Graham, who recruited you for the Gamecocks and will be your position coach at USC?
Owens: Ever since I took my first visit down there for summer camp, I felt like me and Coach Graham really connected. He's real easy to talk to and real personable. The more and more I spend time with him, the more I feel like I can feed off of him and learn from him. I want to be a good player for him.
Question: The Gamecocks have produced a string of impressive tight ends in recent years with Jared Cook, Weslye Saunders, and Pat DiMarco. What stood out to you when watching how the Gamecocks utilize the tight end position on offense?
Owens: I feel like I can relate to Jared Cook and Weslye Saunders a lot. I feel like I can do a lot of the same things that they can do, with how they can stretch the field and how they can block down linemen. I feel whatever they can do, I can do at the same level or even better.
Question: The Gamecocks signed two players from North Carolina this year, you and wide receiver K.J. Brent. Are you two pretty close?
Owens: Yeah, actually we always see each other at the gym. We work out at the same place. We work out at different times, but I always see him there. He's a real good player and a good guy. I'm looking forward to rooming with him down at South Carolina (Owens and Brent will also room with Kyle Harris and Mason Harris). We met at a combine in our junior year, and we've kept in contact ever since then. We talk junk because we played them last year, but he's a real good person to talk to.
Question: Who won the game when your Ardrey Kell team played Brent's Marvin Ridge squad?
Owens: They won a close one. On their final drive they scored, and then we had only forty five seconds to drive down the field and score. We got down to the twenty yard line, but they stopped us.
Question: Is it exciting for you to know that you'll be coming into Carolina in the same class as the nation's number one player, Jadeveon Clowney?
Owens: Yeah, it's a real good feeling to know that we have such talent coming in with the same class as me. We have a real good chance of growing and becoming a good team once we mature and become better players.
Question: The Gamecocks only have one proven tight end returning from last season in Justice Cunningham, so what have the South Carolina coaches told you about the possibility of coming in and playing right away?
Owens: They've told me I'll have a great chance. It really depends on me and what I do. They want me to continue to grow, but if I'm good enough they'll throw me in the fire and allow me to prove myself. I feel like I have that opportunity, and I'm going to seize it. I'm going to play my heart out and work hard to get on the field as soon as possible.
Question: The Gamecocks have a good group of tight end signees coming in this year with you, Rory Anderson, and Jerell Adams. Have you gotten to know those guys much yet, and are you looking forward to competing with them?
Owens: I met Jerell Adams on one of my visits. They both seem real good. They're really good athletes, and I'm looking forward to playing with them.
Question: What would you say the potential of the Gamecock offense is this year with so much returning talent, including Marcus Lattimore and Alshon Jeffery?
Owens: I feel like once we get Stephen Garcia back on the field playing well, he's already a proven quarterback in the SEC. We already know that Marcus Lattimore and Alshon are proven athletes, so once we have the missing pieces at different positions then we can click real well and go for the SEC Championship this year.
Question: When do you plan to enroll this summer?
Owens: I'm enrolling on May 28th for the first summer session.
Question: What jersey number will you be wearing at USC?
Owens: Number 88. In high school I wore number 87, and I feel like it's always good to grow from what you used to be. I felt like one number up would suffice for that.
Question: What kind of personal goals have you set for yourself in your first year at Carolina?
Owens: My first and foremost goal is not to redshirt. I feel like redshirting isn't a bad thing at all, but it really depends on how you play and how you come out and work, as well as your approach towards the game. I feel like I'm going to attack the game as hard as I can and just allow myself to get on the field as soon as possible. I want to survive freshman year and not get swallowed up in the crowd or get in any type of trouble. I want to stay focused and motivated on my task at hand.
Question: Has anyone told you what to expect with Coach Craig Fitzgerald's strength and conditioning program when you get to Carolina? I've heard those can be pretty intense.
Owens: (Laughs) Yeah, I've talked with a lot of the players, and they say the workouts are out of this world. They're going to get you good and get you right. Everything they do has a meaning and has a purpose.
Question: There's a strong feeling down in South Carolina that the Gamecocks are on the verge of competing for the school's first ever SEC Championship and possibly even a national championship. How exciting is it for you to be joining the USC program now and to have the chance to do something that has never been done before?
Owens: It's crazy, the buzz and the feel, the atmosphere that the fans are giving is amazing. It's just a great feeling to know you have the support of the fans and that they look up to you. It feels good to know they have faith in you, and we're going to do whatever we have to do to win this championship.
Question: Is there a certain game on USC's 2011 schedule that you look at and say, I can't wait to play against those guys?
Owens: Definitely, it's Auburn. There was a kid from Butler, our rival high school, named Kris Frost who committed to Auburn. I feel like me and him always butt heads whenever we play. It's always a big matchup, everybody's always looking forward to the outside linebacker and tight end combo facing off. I feel like he has an opportunity to get early playing time there, and if I do everything I have to do I'll have a chance to play. I want to get my revenge against him.
Question: The Gamecocks are scheduled to play UNC in Columbia in 2013. How much are you looking forward to that game as a North Carolina native?
Owens: Oh, I am so pumped for that game! I know a lot of the players that committed in my class and the class before that who are going up there. They're always talking junk about how I left the state and how I'm a traitor on our state. I feel like that's a big game for me to prove myself to the coaches and everybody that plays there.
Question: How familiar are you with the intensity of the rivalry between South Carolina and Clemson?
Owens: I know it first hand because my head coach who coached me my sophomore and junior year, he played tight end at South Carolina. He was always telling me stories about how there were fights after the game and how the people in the stands go crazy and get so loud. I went to the game last year when (South Carolina) played (Clemson) at home, and that was a crazy game. I know for a fact that every time South Carolina and Clemson play, it's always going to be a great game and it's always going to be crazy.
Question: Do you have any message that you'd like to pass on to Gamecock fans before you officially arrive on campus in a couple of weeks?
Owens: Tell them to get ready for a great season, and let them know that all of the players are ready and I'm ready to get this SEC and national championship. We're going to keep getting better and keep working hard.
Just for fun…

YASA Releases Syrian Kurdistan Map 'Western Kurdistan': First
YASA Releases Syrian Kurdistan Map
'Western Kurdistan': First stage
By Jomaa Okash, Al Arabiya
January 1, 2013
The Kurdish Centre for Legal Studies and
Consultancy, also known as YASA, released a
map of
what it described as "Syrian Kurdistan" which marks
the borders of the Kurdish territories inside Syria.
According to the map, Syrian Kurdistan, also labeled
Western Kurdistan by the Bonn-based center, starts
from the village of Ain Diwar in the governorate of
Hasakah in the northeast and extends across the
Turkish borders till the far northwest near the city
of Iskenderun.
The map features major cities in the northern Syria
like Dêrik, Rmêlan, Tirbespiyê, Kobanî, and Afrin
and the percentage of Kurds, Arabs, and Christians
in each of them.
The map does not, however, specify the exact area of
Syrian Kurdistan, which, according to the center, is
not possible at the moment for security reasons. A
second study is to offer more accurate figures.
Based on YASA statistics, the number of Kurds in
Syria is estimated at three million, mostly living
in the north together with Arab and Christian
Jian Badrakhan, a YASA senior official, said that
although the map may not be in line with the
administrative divisions of the Syrian state, it is
congruent with the Kurdish presence in the region.
"Kurds have been there for centuries," he told the
Kurdish news website al-Kurdiya News.
"There are very few Arabs and most of them were
brought from central Syria by the regime while those
belonging to tribes are indigenous. Christians are
the also original inhabitants of the region. Some
villages west of the Euphrates are inhabited by
Kurds in Syria, Badrakhan explained, are basically
demanding political non-centralism in the areas in
which they constitute a majority.
"They will be charge of governing this area together
with other minorities, but they will remain part of
the state of Syria provided that their rights are
recognized on both the local and the international
Badrakhan said that the Syrian opposition
acknowledges the rights of Kurds, but the two
parties have not yet reached an understanding as to
the system of governance in the pre-dominantly
Kurdish areas.
Badrakhan denied that the map exaggerated in linking
areas that are interrupted by non-Kurdish presence
for as much 40 kilometers like linking the city of
named the capital of Western Kurdistan, and the city
of Serê Kaniyê in al-Hasakah governorate with the
city Afrin in Aleppo governorate and the city of
Kobanî in Raqqah governorate.
"We did not link those cities together, but rather
traced the natural extension of Kurdish presence and
which has resisted all attempts by the regime to
change the demographics of the area whether through
forcing Kurds out or bringing Arabs in as well as
stripping Kurds of the Syrian citizenship."
According to historical studies, Kurds played an
important role in the independence of Syria during
the Ottoman era and the French occupation.
Syrian Kurds were granted the right to create their
state in the regions they inhabit through the Treaty
of Sèvres between the Allies and the Ottoman Empire
in 1920. However, the Treaty of Lausanne, signed in
1923, dashed Kurdish hopes after the Allies
overlooked their rights in response to Turkish

For those who say there's too many bowl games, don't tell that to Paul Chryst and his Pitt team.
Gaining eligibility with a 6-6 record, the Panthers took advantage of the extra game to propel a number of significant roles, which leads to increased optimism, following a 30-27 win over Bowling Green in the Little Caesars Pizza Bowl.
"We obviously have some great young talent and that's why we are so confident about the future of this program," head coach Paul Chryst said. "We think we're in great shape going forward."< /p>
Freshman James Conner, who leading up to the game, practiced some at defensive end rushed for 229 yards and a touchdown, taking home Game MVP honors. Senior defensive lineman Aaron Donald was named Lineman of the Game.
Tyler Boyd finished with eight receptions for 173 yards, and a 62-yard punt return for a touchdown.
If that wasn't enough, Conner and Boyd set new Pitt records tonight. Conner's 229 yards surpassed the 202 that Tony Dorsett rushed for against Georgia back in the 1977 Sugar Bowl. Boyd's receiving performance eclipsed the previous mark of 163 yards, set by Gordon Jones in the 1977 Gator Bowl against Clemson.
"After the last game, coach told me they wanted to unleash me on both sides of the ball, so I've been getting a lot of reps both ways," Conner said. "I was pretty tired by the end, but I wasn't going to tap out. They kept giving me the ball, so I just kept running."
Shakir Soto, making his first start at defensive end, sacked Bowling Green quarterback Matt Johnson on Bowling Green's first drive of the game. It led to a punt, which was returned 17 yards by Boyd.
Pitt couldn't convert a first down on either of its first two drives of the game. Bowling Green drove inside the Pitt ten, looking to score, before Tyrone Ezell sacked Johnson for a five-yard loss. The sack forced Bowling Green to settle for a 28-yard field goal from Tyler Tate. The Falcons led 3-0, following the 11-play, 50-yard drive.
It looked like Bowling Green had Pitt's defense figured out, thanks to completions of 17 and 18 yards from Johnson, as well as a 10-yard run from Johnson. Ezell's sack of Johnson on a third-and-goal at the Pitt four, kept him in check.
On that drive, Conner made his debut at defensive end. The freshman running back had been practicing there in preparations leading to the bowl game. On Pitt's third series of the game, Conner rushed five times for 39 yards, out of a possible seven plays for 50 yards. That included a 15-yard touchdown run that gave Pitt its first lead of the game, 7-3, with under a minute to play in the first half.
Pitt tacked on a field goal in the second quarter, extending the lead to 10-3. It looked like a drive that was heading for a touchdown, considering Pitt started from its own 15 with a 46-yard completion from Savage to Boyd.
Boyd was wide-open on the reception, but it was the improvisation after the play. He had just one man to beat, who caught him after Boyd broke one tackle.
Pitt got into the red zone on the legs of Conner, who rushed five times for 25 yards, including a 15-yarder off tackle that got the Panthers to the Bowling Green 20. Savage then targeted his first receiver not named Boyd, J.P. Holtz for a gain of 13. Savage put a nice touch on the ball, ahead of Holtz, in a comfortable spot away from the defender.
Pitt couldn't convert inside the five, leading to a 25-yard field goal, and a 10-3 Pitt lead.
The Pitt defense answered the call again, as Ray Vinopal and Nicholas Grigsby came up with sacks, forcing the Falcons to punt again. Boyd put a big footprint on the game, returning the punt 46 yards for a touchdown. Pitt led 17-3, getting major contributions from several true freshmen, and some others who stepped up.
"I knew I had to stay inbounds, because I'm not in the goal-line package," Boyd said. "So if I stepped out, I wouldn't get a chance to score."
Things continued to go Pitt's way, as Grigsby came up with his second sack of the game, Pitt's fifth. Bowling Green was heading for another punt, whe Aaron Donald was called for unsportsmanlike conduct after the whistle. Instead of punting, it gave Bowling Green a first down, and new life. Seven plays later, Johnson hit Alex Bayer for a 29-yard score, making it a 17-10 Pitt lead, with just under two minutes left in the first half.
Pitt did get some yardage on its final drive of the first half. Boyd made another big grab, this time for 29 yards. The drive ended with a Pitt punt.
Bowling Green took over at its own one yard-line, following the punt. They ran out the clock, trailing 17-10 at the half. Still, there was a sense of irony that several younger players stepped up to give Pitt a 17-3 lead. Yet, it was Pitt's all-world player in Donald that committed a costly penalty, which led to Bowling Green getting back on its feet.
Bowling Green wasted no time at all tying the score to start the second half. BooBoo Gates returned the opening kick, untouched, 94 yards for a touchdown. Keep in mind, with just over six minutes left in the first half, Pitt was up by two touchdowns. In a short span of minutes, Bowling Green evened it up.
Tom Savage did not return to start the second half, as Chad Voytik took the reins. Savage left the game with bruised ribs, giving way to Voytik. He engineered a field goal attempt on his first drive of the game. Chris Blewitt's 39-yarder was wide left, but the drive did see a career-long 45-yard run from Conner.
Bowling Green did convert a field goal on its first offensive series of the half, a 46-yarder by Tate. The Falcons regained the lead, 20-17, with 9:52 left in the third quarter. Pitt answered Bowling Green's 3-0 lead with 17 points. Bowling Green answered Pitt's lead with 17 points of its own.
Blewitt got his shot ad redemption, converting a 28-yarder to tie it back up at 20-20. Conner, again, game up big on the drive. He had a 25-yarder to get Pitt in to Bowling Green territory, then a seven-yarder to get them inside the ten.
Following a 67-yard punt from Brian Schmiedebusch, Pitt took over at its own two. Tested for the first time of the game, Voytik connected with Manasseh Garner for a gain of 20, converting a third-and-five. Voytik later hooked up with Boyd for a gain of 62, setting Pitt up at the Bowling Green seven. He capped the drive two plays later, scrambling in from five yards out.
"The experience, you just can't replace it," Voytik said. "To get the win for these seniors, I can't say enough about that group.I was just glad to get out there and finish the game with them."
Voytik, thrust into the first significant action of his career, answered the call with the game on the line. He guided the Panthers on a six-play, 98-yard drive.
Unfortunately for Pitt, Johnson answered with another touchdown pass for Bowling Green. He connected with Ryan Burbrink from 15 yards out, tying the game at 27-27, capping a nine-play, 75-yard drive.
It was up to Voytik to lead the Panthers on one more go-ahead drive. Blewitt kicked a 39-yard field goal with 1:17 left in the game, giving Pitt the win.
In just one half of work, Voytik finished with 108 yards passing on 5-9 passing. Savage threw for 124 yards on 8-13 completions.
Before the game, it was announced that Honorable Mention Matt Rotheram did not make the trip due to personal reasons. He started all 12 games to this point. In his place, true freshman Dorian Johnson started at right guard.
Making his Pitt debut is receiver Dontez Ford, who was granted eligibility after sitting out this past season off a transfer from Syracuse.
Soto got the start at defensive end in place of Bryan Murphy, who did not make the trip because of separate personal reasons.

Guest post by Mike Schaffer, social media and online marketing manager at Iostudio.
Despite the incessant buzz in the marketing industry surrounding Foursquare and Facebook Places, I see four major challenges facing location-based services.
For all the hype, only four percent of adults are using these services (not to mention the 84 percent of adults who have no idea what they are). Clearly, not a ton of folks are taking advantage of them, so let's investigate the main reasons why they haven't caught fire…yet.
1) Fear – I've heard from countless people that they feel online check-ins leave them and their homes vulnerable to robberies, muggings, and sexual assaults. While few, if any, cases of "Foursquare burglary" have surfaced thus far, I think this is a valid point. If you tell everyone where you are (or aren't!), all of those types of attacks are possible. Not likely, but possible. And most people don't want to leave a figurative unlocked door to their homes.
2) Lack of technological penetration – The geo-location world is tied to your smartphone, and if you don't have a smartphone, well, you have to call or text people to tell them where you are (how 2009!). Despite protests from Apple, not a lot of folks have an iPhone (and let's not even discuss the proper way to hold an iPhone 4). Until more people are living in a smartphone world, geo-location will struggle. For the record, just one in five mobile phones are "smart".
3) Metropolitan/urban design – Foursquare was created to help people find their friends in Manhattan. Translating that platform to other places that aren't as densely populated (by people or public transportation options) means it will lose part of its identity. The challenge for geo-location platform developers is to give the networks value to a geographically diverse audience.
4) Badge exhaustion – I use Foursquare. A lot. So let me be completely candid here: Those early months where I got lots of points and badges for doing things were AWESOME. I felt like a good little adventurer. I checked in at an airport at 5 a.m. for a business trip and got TWO badges that day: One as a frequent flyer, and one, mistakenly, for "staying out late on a school night." I haven't gotten a badge in months and it's really starting to kill my motivation.
So, with all of these roadblocks standing in their way, do you think location-based services can overcome these four challenges?

Thanks for reading and commenting!
You brought up a great point – not all smartphones are created equal. Programs must be compatible to no less than 3 types of phone systems (iPhone, BlackBerry and Android) to REALLY impact the market.
I think the partnership FourSquare launched with MTV to award badges to people who get tested for STDs is a HUGE step in the right direction.
It will be interesting to see how/if it continues to grow!
oops, typo…. *think
Have you tried the other services such as Gowalla, Loopt, etc? What are your thoughts on those?
I've spent the most time on FourSquare. I figured that the best way to test the genre was to pick one network and run with it.
Gowalla's recent deal with USA Today will help their visibility and relevance.
Each of the networks needs one thing to succeed: a critical mass of users. My guess is that many of these networks will merge (or go barren), because a more centralized system will provide more benefit to more people.
Thanks for reading, Angie!
That's an interesting testament to the power of connectivity and the importance we put on it.
I'm still undecided on if geo-location will grow like Twitter or be a fad, like GigaPets. Probably leaning towards fan, but hoping it sticks around!
Hi, Sanjay–
Thanks for your excellent industry insight! It's great to hear what a developer is thinking about the future of the category.
You hit the nail on the head – it's all about value. Facebook is connectivity, Twitter is about immediacy, Yelp/OpenTable are about restaurants. Geo-location networks need to establish a sustainable value model before they REALLY take off.
Best of luck with your network and definitely keep me in the loop about it's progress!!
– Mike

Four Challenges Facing Location-Based Services http://bit.ly/cYzll4
Nice post Mike. The Economist has a good article on this topic this week. They cite two key challenges — from a marketing shop adoption standpoint. First, the 4% participation which you've noted and second, people gaming the system. I highlighted these and offer a link to the article in this Amplify post: http://bit.ly/daCZZM
I think it will move into the mainstream once people find it has real personal financial value to them. As in discounts, specials, giveaways. In St. Louis, I'm seeing a variety of businesses being very creative and proactive in using not only Smart Phone technology but geolocation services.
[…] the social media world, the buzz for quite some time has been all about geo-location or location-based marketing […]

I would like to pay attention to a series of applications by Samir Khanhttp://www.maplesoft.com/applications/view.aspx?SID=153600http://www.maplesoft.com/applications/view.aspx?SID=153599http://www.maplesoft.com/applications/view.aspx?SID=153596http://www.maplesoft.com/applications/view.aspx?SID=153598My congratulations to the author on his work well done. New capacities of Global Optimization Toolbox are spectacular. For example, in the first application an optimization problem in 101 variables under 5050 nonlinear constraints(other than 202 bounds) is solved. I think it requires a very powerful comp and much time.I tried that problem for n=20 with the good old DirectSearch on my comp (4 GB RAM, Pentium Dual-Core CPU E5700@3GHz) bysoln2 := DirectSearch:-GlobalSearch(rc, {cons1, cons2, rc >= 0, seq(`and`(vars[i] >= -70, vars[i] <= 70), i = 1 .. 2*n), rc <= 70}, variables = vars, method = quadratic, number = 140, solutions = 1, evaluationlimit = 20000)and obtained not so bad rc=69.9609360106765 (whereas www.packomania.com gives rc=58.4005674790451137175957) in about one hour.
Packing_by_DS.mwFor n=50 the memory of my comp cannot allocate calculations or the obtained result by the Search command is far away from the one in packomania.

The Sporto Pam is a cute way to stay warm this winter without those clunky boots. This duck shoe has the waterproof rubber upper that's Sporto specializes in, and the faux fur collar means these don't go deep into the closet once snow has hit the ground. The rubber sole provides traction and a 360 degree lacing system gives as snug of a fit as you'd like. Don't give up and switch to boots just yet, the Sporto Pam is a comfortable alternative.

Apple has just announced on its Spring Forward event that it became an exclusive launch partner for a standalone HBO NOW streaming service, which is set to debut on Apple TV in April.
For the past half a year, rumors had been continuously pointing towards a March, 2015 launch of the much awaited Apple TV 4. And when the Spring Forward event was announced to be held on March 9th, many of us hoped the revolutionary new Apple TV to be Tim Cook's One more thing for this event.
International Business Time reports that HBO is in talks with Apple to make Apple TV one of launch partners for a new standalone HBO Now streaming service which is set to debut in April.
There is no doubt Apple will release a new Apple TV model sooner or later, the only question is when. According to Piper Jaffray analyst Gene Munster, the Apple TV 4 could be launched this fall:
FireCore released aTV Flash (black) 2.5 that comes with the same trakt sync that made its debut in Infuse 3 for iOS last month. This all-new syncing method allows users to effortlessly keep their watched history in sync between devices.
It seems like the Apple TV is suddenly in love with sports. 120 Sports becomes the third sports channel to find its way to the set top box this month, after Cricket Australia and Tennis Everywhere.

Struggling Ajax Cape Town host a resurgent Sundowns in the Cape Town stadium on Friday evening, with both teams targeting cup salvation

Laffor, Mphela, Mushekwi
Ajax Cape Town is a club in crisis and is firmly focused on survival in the PSL, as they flirt with danger at the foot of the table. However, the possibility of a successful Nedbank Cup run could allow the Urban Warriors to find some kind of solace this season.
Ajax has struggled to cope defensively all campaign, losing games they should have won on many occasions. New signings Mabhuti Khenyeza and Abia Nale have yet to make a definitive impact, while the enigmatic Wanderson has shown periods of his potential, but these have been few and far between.
The Urban Warriors' inexperienced squad and lack of consistency in the coaching department has certainly affected the team negatively, but Jan Versleijen believes his side has shown the fighting qualities they will require if they plan to to turn their season around.
"We still kept fighting, even when were 3-0 down against Platinum Stars at the weekend. But that's not the right way to do it," he told reporters.
"We have the quality to play when we lead but we try to be too safe. We mustn't play panic football."
Versleijen will hope to salvage his sides' season on Friday night, but their round of 32 opponents could not be a tougher encounter, as Ajax is set to host a club in a state of revival in the form of Pitso Mosimane's Mamelodi Sundowns.
Mosimane has inspired his club to rise from the ashes and move into the top eight of the PSL standings, whilst reminding many of his "star" players that performances on the pitch mean everything.
Sundowns has already reached a cup final this season, losing to Bloemfontein Celtic in the Telkom Knockout showpiece late last year and will be focused on producing another positive cup display, as their hopes of trophy success this season rests solely on the Nedbank Cup.
Pitso Mosimane is confident that Sundowns have what it takes to win the Nebank Cup and wants his team to focus on winning their opening match of the tournament.
"If you ask anybody whether they think they have a chance to win the Nedbank Cup, I think they all feel there is a chance to win the trophy," Mosimane said.
"We are going for it. You never know what is going to happen, it's a cup game and we all know cup games are totally different.
"We are playing against a Premiership team, so we need to concentrate a little bit, come down to earth and do things right.
"So we need to attack. We have the players to play, so let's play."
- Sundowns reached the final of the Nedbank Cup in 2012, only to lose against SuperSport United 2-0 at the Orlando Stadium, after being reduced to 10-men.
- Ajax Cape Town was edged out of the 2012 edition of the Nedbank Cup by AmaZulu, who won 4-3 on penalties at the Princess Magogo Stadium.
- The Urban Warriors won the Nedbank Cup in 2007, defeating their round of 32 opponents Mamelodi Sundowns 2-0 in the final.
- Sundowns won the cup the following season, defeating Mpumalanga Black Aces 1-0 in the final.
- The two sides have played each other 19 times with Sundowns holding a slight advantage over the Urban Warriors, winning five games as compared to Ajax's four victories.
- Ajax Cape Town has conceded 32 goals this season in the PSL, which means they have the worst defence in the top-flight, on par with Black Leopards.


text: The first images of the LG Univa e510 have surfaced today, arriving courtesy of Indian Android blog, AndroidOS.in. According to them the phone was on display at Qualcomm India On 2011 where it was found sitting without a name, next to other Optimus products. The Univa first hit our radars back in July when it was listed among a leaked LG roadmap. Specifications include an 800MHz processor, 3.5-inch display, 5-megapixel camera, and 11.9 mm thick body. Our Indian counterparts were only able to spend a few moments with the phone noting that it was responsive to touch. If the roadmap details hold true we should see the Univa e510 (or whatever name) in fourth quarter of this year.

but it dosent work any help?

I had applied the -enabledeveloperconsole to the DAOriginsLauncher.exe shortcut. But this command doesn't work on the Launcher!
Make sure you make a shortcut from the DAOrigins.exe file in the bin_ship directory. After I got that straight, it worked like a charm!
Once I pressed the ~ button once though, nothing happened and I could move in the game as normal. Only when I pressed the ~ button for the second time did the console apply for me and my right click did no longer move my char. After that, make sure you type something like "ee" and backspace at least 3 times to make sure you delete all text you can't see before entering your code
I'm also a Win7 user in case you were wondering.
I hope this helps you, GL & HF
[Edited by Vatrnogeen, 12/31/2009 12:28:54 AM]
"C:\Program Files\Games\Dragon Age\bin_ship\daorigins.exe" -enabledeveloperconsole
Use this shortcut instead of your normal shortcut to start the game when you want to run the scripts. When your game is loaded hit the ` or ~ key (should be left of 1) and directly type in the command. You'll have to hit that key prior to each and every command you want to use.

The quality and style of housing in Argentina vary considerably according to location and economic status. Many of the residents of Buenos Aires and other large cities live in high-rise apartments; those in the suburbs reside in ranch-style concrete homes with tile roofs. However, poorer families often inhabit substandard housing in tenements or shantytowns. More than two-fifths of homes in the city of Buenos Aires are rented. Apartments and condominiums account for three-fourths of homes in the capital but only about one-eighth of those in the surrounding suburbs. At least one-fifth of Argentines occupy substandard housing, lacking indoor plumbing (drinking water or toilets) or having either dirt floors or temporary flooring. The government classifies about half of the substandard homes as shacks or shanties. In many, more than three people are crowded into each room.
Argentina has one of the more educated populations in Latin America, which is reflected in its large number of schools and a nearly universal literacy rate. Primary education is compulsory and free; secondary and higher education is offered in free public schools and in private schools subsidized by the state. Higher education in Argentina was seriously hampered by the censorship and other strictures of the military government of 1976–83, but efforts to restore the system began after a civilian government was returned to power. The National University of Córdoba, founded in 1613, is the nation's oldest university, and the University of Buenos Aires, founded in 1821, is its largest. Other major national universities are at Mendoza, La Plata, Rosario, and San Miguel de Tucumán. The National Technical University is located at Buenos Aires.
Cultural life
Almost all Argentines are descendants of immigrants from Europe, and Argentine culture is a lively blend of European customs and Latin American innovations. Whereas earlier generations of intellectuals, writers, composers, filmmakers, and visual artists looked to European models, the country has developed artistic forms that are uniquely Argentine—most famously the tango, the sexually charged dance of the Buenos Aires dockside district, as well as the dense, metaphysical stories of Jorge Luis Borges, which evoke the back alleys of the capital and the vast Pampas alike. The tensions between those two milieus are important in Argentine thought, for, although most Argentines are urban and look to porteños, or residents of Buenos Aires, as arbiters of taste and trends, the interior has given to all Argentines their symbol of national identity, the gaucho, who occupies a position in South American lore similar to that of the cowboy in the United States. Scorned in his heyday of the 18th and 19th centuries as a drinker and vagabond, this mestizo ranch hand rode the open rangeland of the huge estancias in pursuit of wild horses and criollo cattle. Eventually Argentines came to see him as a character whose solitary life taught him self-reliance, courage, indifference to hardship, and love of the land—traits that represented the ideal of their national character as set out in the national epic poem El gaucho Martin Fierro (1872) by José Hernández, in Ricardo Güiraldes's fictional classic Don Segunda Sombra (1926), and in works by Domingo Faustino Sarmiento and Benito Lynch.
Daily life and social customs
Daily life in Argentina's cities is much as it is in those of southern Europe: businesses and shops open early, close for a long break at midday, and stay open into the evening; social life takes place both in the streets and in lively bars and nightclubs; and meals are an opportunity for convivial exchanges. New and Old World cultures meet in the Argentine diet, where breakfast is generally a serving of three sweet rolls (medialunas) and coffee in the French fashion, and supper is taken, in the Spanish tradition, after 9:00 pm, often featuring Italian dishes. The New World asserts itself in the Argentine passion for beef cooked on the grill (parrilla), which is overwhelmingly preferred to other meats and fish. Argentina consumes more beef per capita than any other nation except Uruguay, twice the amount per capita as the United States. Buenos Aires is renowned for its steakhouses (asados criollos, but nearly every culinary tradition is represented in one or more of the city's restaurants. Maté, the native tealike beverage brewed from yerba maté leaves, is popular in the countryside and is drunk from a gourd through a strainer; it is either sipped individually or shared in an important social ritual. Argentina is one of the largest wine producers in the world, and its varietal red wines are highly prized by connoisseurs, though most production goes toward supplying high domestic consumption.
Most Argentines observe the Roman Catholic calendar of holidays, including Christmas and Easter. San Martin Day (August 17), Venticinco de Mayo (May 25, the anniversary of the revolution of 1810), and Nueve de Julio (July 9, Independence Day) are among the principal national holidays. Regional festivals include the Fiesta del Milagros ("Miracle Festival") in Salta, commemorating the salvation of the city from an earthquake in September 1692, the celebration on July 6 of the founding of Córdoba, and the wine festival in Mendoza in March.

You do NOT need stop-arm cameras. Most crashes involve the bus drivers running the students over. Look at the NHTSA studies. Drivers intentionally running school buses is VERY rare. Even so, why not use a plastic breakaway arm on the left side of the bus one second after flashing reds? Block the lane.

Attention! Little Mix's second studio album, "Salute," was released in the United States earlier this month. The British girl group was the first group to win the "X Factor" in 2011, and was signed to Syco Records. After one successful album in 2012, the girls are back with 17 new tracks sure to make fans dance and sing along.
The group consists of four members: Perrie Edwards, Jesy Nelson, Leigh-Anne Pinnock and Jade Thirlwall, who co-wrote all but four of the songs on the new album. The album consists of pop music with an R&B edge. So far, six tracks from the new album have been released on iTunes, including "Move," "Nothing Feels Like You" and "These Four Walls." Music videos have been made for "Move" and "Little Me." This CD already has gone gold in the United Kingdom.
The album's cover features gloomy colors, unlike the cover art for the group's last album, which had bright colors.
The girls have matured since their last album and are better than ever. The album features fast, upbeat songs, such as "Nothing Feels Like You," which includes some hand-clapping. Songs such as "These Four Walls" start off with a slower beat but pick up by the end of the song.
Although it seems like the music industry is pulling in talentless singers nowadays, the girls of Little Mix all have strong, powerful voices, creating not only catchy pop songs but ballads as well. Little Mix says that "Move" was written for those boys at a dance, acting "too cool for school."
