May 18, 2001, for the first time, UNESCO proclaimed 19 of the world's most remarkable examples of the oral
and intangible heritage. Selected by a 18-member jury, the winning
entries were chosen
for their outstanding value as Masterpieces of the Oral and
Intangible Heritage of Humanity. The global proclamation
emphasizes the importance of protecting this outstanding but
endangered heritage - cultural spaces and forms of popular and
traditional expression - and of preserving cultural diversity.
The new proclamation honours:
forms of
popular and traditional expression - such as languages, oral literature, music, dance, games, mythology,
rituals, costumes, craftwork know-how, architecture.
spaces - a place
where popular and traditional cultural activities take place in a
concentrated manner (sites for story-telling, rituals,
marketplaces, festivals etc.) or the time for a regularly
occurring event (daily rituals, annual processions, regular
The oral and intangible heritage has been
defined by international experts convened by UNESCO as
"peoples' learned processes along with the knowledge, skills
and creativity that inform and are developed by them, the products
they create, and the resources, spaces and other aspects of social
and natural context necessary to their sustainability; these
processes provide living communities with a sense of continuity
with previous generations and are important to cultural identity,
as well as to the safeguarding of cultural diversity and
creativity of humanity."
The oral and intangible heritage
encompasses complex, broad and diverse forms of living heritage in
constant evolution. UNESCO Director-General Koïchiro Matsuura
calls it a "melting pot for creative expression and a driving
force for living cultures."
The oral and intangible heritage has gained
international recognition as a vital factor in cultural identity,
promotion of creativity and the preservation of cultural diversity.
It plays an essential role in national and international
development, tolerance and harmonious interaction between
In an era of globalization, many forms of
this cultural heritage are in danger of disappearing, threatened
by cultural standardization, armed conflict, tourism,
industrialization, rural exodus, migration and environmental
The proclamation's main objectives are
awareness and recognize the importance of oral and intangible
heritage and the need to safeguard and revitalize it
and take stock of the world's oral and intangible heritage
countries to establish national inventories of the intangible
heritage and provide legal and administrative measures for its
the participation of traditional artists and local creators in
identifying and revitalizing the intangible heritage.
The proclamation encourages governments,
non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and local communities to
identify, safeguard, revitalize and promote their oral and
intangible heritage. It also aims to encourage individuals,
groups, institutions and organizations to contribute to its
management, preservation, protection and promotion.
The entries are judged on their outstanding
value as masterpieces of human creative genius, in that they
represent either:
strong concentration of intangible cultural heritage of
outstanding value; or
popular and traditional cultural expression of outstanding
value from a historical, artistic, ethnological, linguistic or
literary point of view.
Applications must:
wide evidence of their roots in the cultural tradition or
cultural history of the community concerned
their role as a means of affirming the cultural identity of
the peoples and cultural communities concerned; their
importance as a source of inspiration and intercultural
exchange and as a means of bringing peoples or communities
closer together, and their contemporary cultural and social
role in the community concerned
proof of excellence in the application of skill and technical
their value as unique testimonies of living cultural

and protecting it or to processes of rapid change,

UNESCO, the United Nations organization
responsible for culture, leads international efforts to safeguard
the world's heritage. Since 1972, the World Heritage List,
currently featuring 690 of the planet's most remarkable cultural
and natural sites, has pioneered efforts in preserving the
tangible heritage. As the guardian of cultural heritage, UNESCO
seeks to extend that concept by promoting the oral and intangible
heritage, in a geographically balanced way. UNESCO's
Director-General believes that the intangible cultural heritage is
"an equally fundamental part of the heritage of humankind."
For the last 20 years, UNESCO has been at
the forefront of oral and intangible heritage preservation with an
international instrument, programmes and publications including:
on the Safeguarding of Traditional Culture and Folklore (1989)
Human Treasures System
of Traditional Music of the World
for Collecting Musical Heritage
of the World's Endangered Languages
Conference on African Language Policies.
Since the World Heritage Convention was
adopted 30 years ago, many countries have expressed interest in
safeguarding the intangible heritage. In 1997, the General
Conference decided that an international distinction entitled
"Proclamation by UNESCO of Masterpieces of the Oral and
Intangible Heritage of Humanity" should be created.
Reaffirming UNESCO's commitment to
cultural heritage, the new proclamation reinforces strategic
objectives in its culture mandate:
the drafting and implementation of standard-setting
instruments in the cultural field
cultural diversity and encouraging pluralism and dialogue
between cultures and civilizations
the linkages between culture and development through
capacity-building and sharing of knowledge.
The Director-General designates an international jury every four years.
The jury meets every two years to designate the cultural spaces or
forms of cultural expression which deserve to be proclaimed
Candidatures are presented to the
Director-General by:
organizations in consultation with the National Commission for
UNESCO in the country concerned
organizations maintaining formal relations with UNESCO, in
consultation with the National Commission for UNESCO in their
Each country may submit, or re-submit, a
single candidature every two years. Multi-national proposals
involving communities of several Member States are also accepted
in addition to the national quota. No submission can be made
without the agreement of the community or individuals concerned.
Entries are evaluated by non-governmental
organizations including:
Council for Traditional Music
Council of Social Sciences
Council for Philosophy and Humanistic Studies
International Committee of Linguists
Association of Legal Sciences
Union of Anthropological and Ethnological Sciences and other scientific and
technical NGOs.
The programme is mainly financed by
extra-budgetary funds. For the first Proclamation of Masterpieces
of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity, the Japanese
government provided substantial financial support. 31 Member
States received up to $20,000 assistance to prepare their
proposals. The next deadline for submissions is June 30, 2002. The
second proclamation will take place in May 2003.
The new Proclamation of the Oral and
Intangible Heritage is part of a longer term strategy that is
aimed at creating a normative instrument. Programmes, policies and
achievements will serve as the foundation of preparatory work
towards a normative instrument intended to strengthen current
initiatives and create a new conceptual and legal framework
emphasizing the importance of the intangible cultural heritage.

- - British Number 2, Josh Goodall may retire (http://www.menstennisforums.com/2-general-messages/213171-british-number-2-josh-goodall-may-retire.html)
British Number 2, Josh Goodall may retire
Goodall feeling the pinch
British number two Josh Goodall may call time on his tennis career next summer because of the financial pressures of the professional game.
The millions of pounds earned each year by the likes of Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, Andy Murray and Maria Sharapova are the glamorous side of the game, but for most players the realities are very different.
There are 229 places in the rankings between Murray and Goodall, and, while the world number three can take a well-earned rest in his Surrey mansion, his nearest domestic rival is simply determined that this time he will keep the deposit he has saved to buy a flat.
Goodall, 27, has saved the money before but he has always had to dip into it to fund a career that involves being on the road for large chunks of the year and the vast expense that comes with that.
It has been a positive year for Goodall, who has climbed more than 200 places since last summer and stood in for Murray as British number one at the Davis Cup tie against Belgium in April.
Trying to match the success he has had on the third-tier Futures Tour at the next level, the Challenger Tour, has been a bit of a struggle, but he remains optimistic.
Goodall certainly does not want to give up the career he and his family worked hard to make a reality. His parents remortgaged their house five times to fund his tennis, but he knows tough decisions may have to be made.
"A year and a half ago I was really contemplating quitting tennis," said Goodall. "Playing in the Davis Cup felt like a massive achievement, that all my hard work had paid off, and I played Wimbledon as well.
"I've plateaued a bit at a Challenger ranking but I've been at this level before and I know what I need to do to get to the next level, which is why I'm working so hard.
"If I don't see myself getting closer to the top 150 by next summer I will take a look at what I want to get out of this. I'm 27 and I've got bills to pay."
The relative lack of money lower down the game has become a hot topic this season, with the leading players threatening to strike unless the rewards are increased at the grand slam tournaments - specifically for those who lose in the early rounds.
Goodall has earned an average of around £30,000 in prize money over eight years as a professional, while his income is topped up by the Lawn Tennis Association's bonus scheme, which rewards players financially for their results with the stated aim of keeping them in the game longer.
It has earned Goodall almost £10,000 this year, and he said: "That was a really good decision by the LTA. If I didn't have that I probably wouldn't have been able to afford to carry on playing.
"At Futures and Challenger level the prize money is not high enough. When you're barely breaking even it's difficult to accept, especially when you think tennis is a big sport.
"I saw a statistic that 30 years ago golf and tennis were identical in terms of prize money but a US dollars 10,000 tournament has been a USD 10,000 tournament for a long time. And there's a lot more tennis players now.
"We're professionals and it would be nice if it was a bit easier to make a living. At the moment it comes with a lot of stress."
Elena Baltacha has been Britain's leading female player for much of the last decade, battling injuries and ill health before breaking into the top 100 in 2009 at the age of 26.
She faces another battle to try to get back there after undergoing ankle surgery this summer, but her success has at least provided a financial cushion.
Baltacha credits coach Nino Severino with helping her realise her full potential, at considerable personal risk to himself.
"You come up against a brick wall at every level," the Scot said. "That's what tennis does - it weeds you out. You just have to run through it, climb over it or find a way around it.
"It all depends on whether you're willing to back yourself up, whether that's on the court or in getting sponsorship or things like that. People have taken loans, remortgaged their houses. They're big decisions.
"When I left my old academy, I was sponsored and I knew that once I walked out I would lose that. It was a big risk I took but my coach believed in me that much he was willing pretty much to put his house on the line. Thankfully it paid off."
Baltacha appreciates the relative luxuries of life on the WTA Tour precisely because she spent many years experiencing the other side of the tennis tour.
The 29-year-old recalled a string of small tournaments in the Far East after back surgery in 2007 for which she had to qualify and where at one stage she did not even have a bed to sleep on.
She said: "I remember lying there and thinking, 'is this all worth it?' But it definitely toughened me up and made me work hard because I wanted to get away from that.
"Sometimes it's quite healthy to go through hardships because it challenges you and asks questions of you about whether you're tough enough to succeed."

Re: British Number 2, Josh Goodall may retire
goodall is struggling financially despite getting a £10,000 gift from the LTA?
well just imagine how others of similar standing in the game are doing then.
Re: British Number 2, Josh Goodall may retire
He is not retiring
Just like to point out, im not retiring.... I expect 2013 to be my best year yet https://twitter.com/joshuagoodall/st...70252033740800

Good for the game.
Re: British Number 2, Josh Goodall may retire
What a generic name :o
Possibly related to...?
Re: British Number 2, Josh Goodall may retire
it obviously would be expected to cost a lot more than 10k if you got higher in the rankings and/or expanding your schedule
Re: British Number 2, Josh Goodall may retire

Futures have their name because of what they are- futures. The futures of tennis play there.
If you cant pass to the next level, the challenger tour, which is the least a very good player could do, you are not tailored for professional tennis.
I mean, you can be a very very good tennis player like Goodall, Smethurst, Middelkoop, Arnaboldi or lets say, Capkovic, but if you are forever inside the 250-400 positions of the ranking, its obviously necessary to retire after you are 23 or 24 years old.
Its obvious ATPTOUR isnt increasing tennis prize moneys. ATP only allows that the first 200 players in the world get some money while playing tennis. If you are out of the top 200 and cant win more than 10 challenger matches in the year, you obviously cant play tennis professionaly.
Tennis is a sport for a few. On the other hand you can be a mediocre left back for a russian football team and earn more in a month than the 200th tennis player in the world in aplayer.
Go play football, Goodall.
Re: British Number 2, Josh Goodall may retire
Josh Goofa:( He is around many years actually, I thought he is older than 27.
Re: British Number 2, Josh Goodall may retire
Re: British Number 2, Josh Goodall may retire
sad news, not his fan, but i really hope he doesnt retire in the summer. good luck

For Hillary Clinton, faith means caring for others
LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- Hillary Rodham Clinton's faith in God was shaped by her grandmother's hymns and the bedtime prayers from her gruff Navy father, the former secretary of state told thousands of Methodist women Saturday.
Clinton said she struggled as a young woman between her father's insistence on self-reliance and her mother's concern for compassion. She reconciled those in the Biblical story of Jesus instructing his disciples to feed 5,000 people with just five loaves of bread and two fish.
"The disciples come to Jesus and suggest they send away the people to find food to fend for themselves. But Jesus said, 'No. You feed them,'" Clinton said. "He was teaching a lesson about the responsibility we all share."
It was a personal speech from a woman considered the front-runner for the 2016 Democratic nomination for president. And while the speech mostly steered clear of politics, she made the case on moral grounds for increasing the minimum wage and equalizing pay for men and women -- two issues that have polarized Congress in the run-up to the 2014 midterm elections.
Clinton's remarks came at the quadrennial United Methodist Women's Assembly, where 7,000 women gathered for three days of teaching, singing and service.

The clip Losing control from Casino (1995) with Joe Pesci, Robert De Niro. Powered by: Anyclip. any moment from any film. Quiet like this? "I'm the boss"? That's quiet? That's taken out of context. I had no control over that. Ronnie and Billy will tell you exactly what happened. Back home that looks bad. Looks bad? Every time you're on television, I get mentioned. That looks bad. What the fuck happened to you? What happened to me? What happened to you? You lost control. I lost control? Look at you, you're fuckin' walkin' around like John Barrymore. A pink robe and a fuckin' cigarette holder? I lost control? I don't wanna bring this up, but you been treatin' people with disrespect, even your wife. My wife? What does she have to do with this? She was upset about a lot of things, especially that whole fuckin' Lester Diamond incident. You're the shoulder to cry on? Did you her tell about your little role in that situation? No, that's not the fuckin' point. The point is, she's upset, and you've got a problem. I would appreciate it... if you stay out of my personal life. You wouldn't like it if I did it to you. She came to talk to me. What was I supposed to do? Throw her out? Stay away from her. It's none of your business. It's none of my business? A week ago it was. Now it's none of my business. When you need me, you need me. The way you need me to vouch for you as a citizen. I'm gonna have to straighten out what you did with this guy. This guy is gonna run to the F.B.I. now. Your head's bigger than your casino. I knew what he wanted. Nicky wanted to take over. He wanted to go after Gaggi, the skim, everything and everybody.

SUPPOSE WE threw a party and everyone came.
That's the aim of the "America's birthday" celebration "Wawa Welcome America," which takes over Center City every July Fourth holiday week.
This year, the dream could come true as never before. The talent lineup for the Philly 4th of July Jam on the Parkway extravangaza - billed as the "largest free concert in America" - is exceptionally strong, and the most contemporary and diverse in Welcome America history.
We're talking John Mayer, J. Cole, Demi Lovato, Jill Scott, Ne- Yo, Grace Potter and Ben Taylor, with backing throughout by the Roots (who'll also get their own set). And for the first time ever, this megaconcert will be shared nationwide on the music-video channels VH1 and Palladia, as well as carried locally by traditional TV partner 6ABC.

March Madness? Where are your workers?
Phone calls not getting answered? No response to email? Wonder where your workers are? With March Madness kicking off this week, workers may be at the office, but a little distracted.
As many as 2.5 million workers may be live-streaming the NCAA basketball tournament at work, according to a guesstimate by John Challenger, head of the Challenger, Gray and Christmas outplacement firm.
Challenger estimates each worker could spend 90 minutes a day watching games, which would cost companies $175 million in productivity over the first two full days of the tournament alone. (That's based on a private sector worker earning an average $23.29 per hour.)
He admits his numbers are non-scientific, but he thinks his point is valid -- lots of workers are going to be less than 100% focused on work over the next few weeks as video-streaming makes it easier to catch the basketball games live.
"It's an opportunity to remind workers that practicing some moderation in their March Madness viewing will go a long way toward keeping managers off their back," Challenger said. "Meanwhile, it is equally important for employers to cut workers some slack, particularly in an economy that has left many workplaces understaffed and overworked."
Challenger's numbers may not be total fantasy. The NCAA reported there were 26.7 million visits and 10.3 million hours of streaming video last year.
Challenger said other statistics showed there were an average of 2.4 million daily unique visitors on broadband and 702,000 average daily unique users on mobile apps during the tournament's second and third rounds last year. Their live-streaming averaged 92.9 minutes a day.
Not all employers are that willing to look the other way. A survey of information technology professionals showed 42% worked for companies that will monitor employees trying to access the NCAA video stream.
They said it's not just to keep employees from being distracted, but to maintain the computer system which can go into slo-mo if enough people are streaming online.
"Rather than try to squash employee interest in March Madness, companies could embrace it as a way to build morale and camaraderie," said Challenger."This could mean putting televisions in the break room so employees have somewhere to watch the games other than the Internet."

Project Description
I need a plugin like gkplugins from here [url removed, login to view] .
They created a plugin for jw-player and you can use this plugin to embed videos from sites like [url removed, login to view], [url removed, login to view], [url removed, login to view], vimeo, movshare etc, but those videos are embeded in your own player hosted on your server. The advantage is that there are no ads and different kinds od commercials and popups like vidxden or putlocker have.
The most simple way to undertstand is to take a look here [url removed, login to view] . You need to download the plugin for [url removed, login to view] for example and then you need to upload the files to your server.
You can see then that is very easy to embed a file from vidxden in your own player:
Embed example:
As you can see above they use a plugin called [url removed, login to view] . I`m sure that in [url removed, login to view] is the secret for this embed code.
As you can see, the rest of the embed code is normal like any other code.
I don`t want to use gkplugins embed code because now, they inserted some very annoying ads in the player.
So, my request for your is to create a similar plugin, so i can embed videos from [url removed, login to view], [url removed, login to view], [url removed, login to view], [url removed, login to view], novamov.com. Those are the most important websites for me....
Is very important to make this plugin to be compatible with jw-player because this is the player that i use now.
Sorry for my english, is not my native language :D

West Texas A&M University might make an academic move into Amarillo.
The four-year school in Canyon has launched a summer-long study to determine the feasibility of delivering some courses from Amarillo.
"For years, people have voiced opinions that WT needs a presence in Amarillo," said Gary Barnes, vice president for business and finance at WT.
"With this study, we want to get a clearer focus on what we could provide."
WT signed a $43,000 contract with MGT of America for the analysis.
The study will include a series of stages, said Ray Thompson, a partner with MGT.
"We'll first look at existing market data - what programs are being offered and what aren't," he said. "We'll also interview major employers, educators and community leaders, then survey employers and potential students."
MGT plans to present a final report to WT by Oct. 1.
WT will not pursue programs already covered by Amarillo College, Thompson said.
"We don't want to duplicate what is being done at AC. They're already serving the community quite well," he said.
The university won't compete with AC, but in some cases, WT could work in cooperation with AC, Barnes said.
"We might be able to give some AC students the opportunity to go forward and complete a bachelor's degree, for instance," he said.
Once all the information is gathered, MGT will pinpoint specific academic programs in demand that WT might tackle.
The university will then decide which programs, if any, to address and how to deliver those programs - whether it be to build a new center, launch more online courses or work with other entities.
"We need to know if there are services we can offer in Amarillo that people can't get elsewhere," Barnes said. "Then we'll move forward from there."
Surveys concerning a WT presence in Amarillo could be mailed to Amarilloans within the next month. People are urged to complete the surveys and return them.
"The more input we receive, the better the results we will have," Barnes said.
WT already has several service-oriented offices in Amarillo, including the WTAMU Enterprise Network, WTAMU Small Business Development Center and the WTAMU Health Partners Clinic, among others.
The current study would determine what academic programs might be planted in the city.
MGT has worked with clients in higher education, public schools and other state and local government agencies since 1974.

NJ Transit presented two rather blunt public service announcements Friday with a simple plea: "Stay off the tracks." The goal is to reduce railroad fatalities.
Titled "You Don't Win" and "You're Dead," the ads that will begin running this weekend on broadcast and cable networks in Philadelphia and New York give dramatic, firsthand accounts from police and transit workers involved in recent fatalities and from the families of people who were killed.
Three deaths last fall were apparently part of a widespread problem on railroads in the region — people trespassing on tracks who are accidentally killed and those who enter the danger zone to commit suicide. In the last two years, at least 91 people have been killed by trains on NJ Transit and SEPTA lines, officials have said.

Great RV Dryer
By Trikequeen
from Hot Springs Village, AR
We heard horror stories from friends that had washers and dryers in their RVs and/or boats. They were not vented, and both washer and dryer were in same compartment - took hours to do a small load.This washer and dryer are incredible - will wash a regular load and dry just like at home. Love them!
Saved the day!!
By suz2uall
from Indio, CA
This came with our new RV, and as we travel with pets, you can imagine how there may be some... emergency wash loads that need to be done. Having a washer/dryer right in our RV was a godsend. Thanks, Whirlpool!

Reviews for Fuquay-Varina Downtown

I recently agreed to volunteer with Fuquay-Varina Downtown because of the inspiring impact this group has on the community. For several years I worked at a job that had a time commitment that didn't allow me to volunteer, but as soon as my schedule changed I jumped at the chance to work with this group. I have lived in other towns where the downtown faded and disappeared as times changed. This organization is committed to keeping downtown Fuquay-Varina alive and well with enthusiasm. They are constantly finding ways to engage the business owners and residents to work together to create a lively, fun downtown. I'm looking forward to being part of it in the years to come.

Arkansas State picks up another big commitment from Texas earlier this week.
AStateNation, the authority in Breaking News for Arkansas State Athletics, confirmed with Arlington Sequin High School Coach Bobby Thigpen that Kelvin Downs was definitely a Red Wolf.
"Kelvin really loved it up there on his visit," Thigpen told AStateNation.com. "He really liked John Brady and his coaching staff, he felt like he fit in there very well."
According to Thigpen, Downs' upside and potential is unlimited.
"He is a good player," Coach Thigpen said. "He has a bright future ahead of him. He had a great summer and is currently having a great fall. I'm hoping he ends up averaging 16 points and 16 rebounds a game for us, he is definitely capable of that."
Downs, a 6-foot-8, 245-pound athlete, took an official visit to Jonesboro this past weekend.
"He hasn't stopped talking about his visit," Thigpen said. "He really connected with their coaching staff."
Stay tuned to AStateNation.com for the most up to date information you will find anywhere regarding your Arkansas State Red Wolves.
This makes the second commitment the Red Wolves have received in less than seven days. Arkansas State currently has several pledges in this recruiting class.
Other offers include Louisiana Tech, Tulane, Northern Colorado and Louisiana Lafayette.

Amarillo Habitat for Humanity and United Supermarkets, Amarillo National Bank and KGNC Radio will dedicate a house in honor of a former Habitat for Humanity volunteer on Sunday.
"Bill's House," at 1527 N. Polk St., will be dedicated in honor of the late William "Bill" Sticksel at 2 p.m.
Sticksel, 51, was a banker and community volunteer who died in 1999.
"He was someone that volunteered for Habitat for Humanity all of the time," said Valerie K. Barringer, executive director of Amarillo Habitat for Humanity. "He was really and truly one of our best friends. He would get up on Saturday morning and come by.
"Rain, snow and sleet - nothing would keep him from getting up. Whatever Habitat asked him to do, he would do it: raise money, mow laws, build houses, things like that," Barringer said. " We sincerely miss him."
In addition to his work at Habitat for Humanity, Sticksel served on boards of the High Plains Food Bank, Big Brothers / Big Sisters, Opportunity School and United Way.
The dedication will feature speaker Courtney Nickles, marketing assistant at Amarillo National Bank.
"It's wonderful because that was a charity organization which he really cared about," said J.C. Sticksel, Bill Sticksel's brother who lives in Amarillo.
J.C. Sticksel said it "really thrilled Bill" to see people have a place to call home. "He loved doing it. That and the food bank were (Bill's) two favorite projects."
The homeowner, Lori Foster, is a single mother with two children, Barringer said.
Barringer said Golden Hammer Awards will be presented for volunteers who devoted the most time to the project.
Several hundred volunteer hours went into constructing the house, Barringer said. Money to build houses comes from serveral sources including businesses, churches, foundations and grants.
Habitat for Humanity is a nonprofit organization that uses volunteer labor and help from future homeowners to construct or renovate houses for people who otherwise couldn't afford their own homes.

Throw Joe Under the Bus

Skip to comments.MTV Blames Janet Jackson for Incident (tries to shift the blame)
Posted on 02/03/2004 1:44:41 PM PST by GulliverSwift
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Singer Janet Jackson (news) masterminded the Super Bowl halftime stunt that left her right breast exposed and prompted a federal probe into television indecency, the head of MTV said on Tuesday.
"Janet Jackson engineered it," MTV Chief Executive Tom Freston told Reuters in an interview.
The blame on Jackson comes on a second day of fallout after pop idol Justin Timberlake (news) tore off half of Jackson's black leather bustier while the pair were singing a duet, exposing her right breast at the conclusion of Sunday's Super Bowl halftime show.
Freston, whose company produced the halftime show for CBS, said Timberlake was informed of the stunt just moments before he took the stage with Jackson.
MTV and CBS are both owned by Viacom (NYSE:VIAB - news)(NYSE:VIA - news).
The Super Bowl is the highest-rated U.S. television event, watched by almost 90 million people.
The stunt, which Timberlake said was due to a "wardrobe malfunction," sparked widespread viewer complaints.
Federal Communications Commission (news - web sites) regulators launched an investigation amid calls for the government to take a tougher stance on regulating indecency on television.
"There's now going to be an FCC (news - web sites) investigation into the nipple," Freston told reporters at a news conference.
Jackson took the blame but said on Monday her stunt went further than she intended: "The decision to have a costume reveal at the end of my half-time show performance was made after final rehearsals. MTV was completely unaware of it. It was not my intention that it go as far as it did."
Freston said neither CBS nor the National Football League has rescinded or demanded a refund of MTV's production fees. But sources familiar with the situation said the incident could possibly cost CBS and the NFL millions of dollars.
The sources told Reuters that Time Warner Inc. (NYSE:TWX - news) unit America Online may now seek a partial refund of the estimated $10 million it paid as a major Super Bowl advertiser and exclusive halftime show sponsor.
"While AOL was the sponsor of the Super Bowl Halftime Show, we did not produce it," the company said in a statement. "Like the NFL, we were surprised and disappointed with certain elements of the show."
The company said the exposure of Jackson's breast means it cannot now broadcast the halftime extravaganza on its web site for 25 million AOL members and visitors.
"In deference to our membership and the fans, AOL and AOL.com will not be presenting the Halftime Show online as originally planned," the company said.
McDonald's Corp. (NYSE:MCD - news), which uses Timberlake as a pitch man, said it found the incident was inappropriate but that it will stand by the singer.
An NFL spokesman said it is unlikely that MTV will be asked to produce future halftime shows. MTV is no stranger to producing shows with shock value, most recently making headlines when it broadcast a performance by Madonna (news - web sites) and Britney Spears (news) ending with the pair kissing.
"Pay attention. I am about to begin a Wardrobe Malfunction."
Hey, I thought it only happened once. On Sunday...
Too damn bad Janet brought the Jackson family name down with this episode!
'Justin The Ripper' has always been a no-talent boob.
"Me too, Justin! Rip mine off, too!!"
"I forced myself to watch some of the Super Bowl. I know I'm out of step with most Americans on this, but a long time ago I turned away from it. I stopped watching the event and even being interested in NFL Football. It wasn't so much the games themselves that offended me, but what came with it the exploitation of viewers, the way it distracts Americans' important things, the ads, the hoopla, the way the entertainment industry used it to promote sex and cultural degradation.
To me, it's all reminiscent of ancient Rome and the Coliseum. That's where the entertainment industry is leading us back to the "glories" of Rome, the fasces, the cheapening of humanity."
To read the entire article, go to WorldNetDaily
Wrong....let's not argue about it. You are apparently a clueless youngster.
However, one thing you said that was true was............ 'Justin The Ripper' is in a "HEAP"!
Hey McDonalds, I ran through your drive thru last Saturday. Consider it the last time you'll ever see me there. You make you're choices, I'll make mine.
You don't get to be on top of the musical heap by having NO TALENT.
Two words: Milli Vannli...
So did Milli Vanilli. Won a Grammy to boot.
And in case you don't know it, THAT is precisely the part of the "show" that CBS watched during rehearsal and APPROVED of! I find that shocking!
What Justin, were both breasts supposed to fall out?
I can. I love Barbara Streisand's voice, but I don't like her as a person. Will she ever get a dollar of mine again? Nope.
but there's no denying he has talent
I think talent is subjective. What is considered "talent" to one person may be considered noise to another.
Where do we go from here? How much worse can it get?
For once a Jackson gets molested!
And, a punkly puke performer is exposed as the a**hole he always has been.
What guts? The punk is a pencil-necked cowardly dweeb. He's a loser in the end. Maybe Michael Jackson can serve him with a nice muddy road, fudge factory job.
Try to see the big picture here. For one thing, this was shown during a sporting event, not on an MTV porn-a-thon. Secondly, what we are seeing now is people finally speaking out about all the garbage that's out there posing as "entertainment".
That was the worst superbowl show in history. It just wasn't fun.
And what about the commercials, the best commercials of the year run during the superbowl. It's part of the entertainment package. They were crap!
And all those cBS commercials, they were crap. And it looks like the seasons programming is crap, too.
It just wasn't a fun family time, which is a large part of superbowl tradition.

Fugitive caught in Bellows FallsMarch 02,2013
BELLOWS FALLS A 22-year-old Vermont man is in prison more than a month after fleeing a drug rehabilitation program.
Bellows Falls police said Zachariah McAllister, of Westminster, was found early Thursday hiding in a basement after officers tracked suspicious footprints in the snow to a cellar bulkhead at the Front Street apartment building.
There were two active warrants for McAllister. The warrants include burglary, unlawful mischief, drug possession and sales charges.
In January, McAllister accepted a plea agreement on burglary and other charges and was given an opportunity to participate in a Brattleboro rehabilitation program.
The Claremont Eagle Times reported that McAllister left the program early on Jan. 24 and he avoided capture for more than a month.

text: The Barrow-downs, or Tyrn Gorthad, was an area of low hills to the east of the Shire and the Old Forest, and west of the village of Bree . Made by men in the ancient days of the Northern Kingdom, many of the hills were crowned with megaliths and barrows, whence comes their name. They served as resting places for the men of the north, as well as the Dunedain, until evil spirits, sent by the Witch-king of Angmar, began to inhabit them. During the Third Age, the hills lay within the bounds of Cardolan in the region of Eriador.

Hold on to your wallets, students at Pennsylvania's state-funded colleges.
While much debate over the state's new budget has focused on aid to public schools, a less-noticed element is what the spending plan means for the colleges. It may mean higher tuition.
The 14 state-run universities will face a $58 million shortfall in their combined $1.56 billion budget for the new fiscal year if Gov. Corbett signs the budget with no changes. That $29.1 billion plan includes flat funding for most higher-education institutions, including the state system.
"That likely will involve some amount of tuition increase, combined with budget cuts across the system, which the individual universities will determine," said Kenn Marshall, spokesman for the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education.

TransCanada — Keystone Pipeline — Landowner Relations
Next to your family, we know there's nothing closer to your heart than your land. We're TransCanada and we understand how you feel about your land. We've worked with thousands of landowners in the U.S. and Canada. And we've built a safe, reliable system, supplying natural gas and crude oil.
We understand the thought of a pipeline coming through your land isn't the easiest thing to get comfortable about.
The best way to explain things to you is to let you hear first-hand from a handful of more than 1,500 landowners who reached agreements with us on the Keystone Pipeline. Together we built the Keystone Pipeline. The 3,460-kilometre pipeline transports crude oil from Hardisty, Alta., to markets in the American Midwest at Wood River and Patoka in Illinois, and at Cushing, Okla.
Landowners and farmers from Nebraska, Kansas, South Dakota and Missouri describe their experiences working with TransCanada on the Keystone Pipeline and help explain their views on the three phases landowners will experience in the pipeline process.
Phase 1: Getting to know us and the project. Developing an agreement about the work we plan to do on your land.
Phase 2: Construction. Learn about the construction process through landowners' experiences as they describe the process they experienced.
Phase 3: Reclamation. We strive to bring the land back its pre-disturbance productive capability, including top-soil conservation.

I Am—Victor Buono
March 3rd
As of now, I am.
I'm not very much, but even the smallest crumb of bread is still bread...whatever bread is.
Well, I may not be as big as a crumb, but I'm just as good as a crumb, and I'm as much me as a crumb is a crumb, so there!
I am!!
Now—what am I?
March 10th
I'm a boy!! I mean, I'm gonna be. It's all settled in advance because I've got 22 pair of ordinary chromosomes plus 1 "x" and a "y" chromosome and I like bugs...whatever bugs are. A lot of other things have already been decided in advance too. I'll have myopic light blue eyes like my mother and I'll be left- handed like my father and 6 feet 4 inches tall with big bones and big feet like my mother's father and I'll like music like my Uncle Jeff and I'll be able to play the piano as well as anyone who's 6-4, big footed, left-handed and myopic...and I'm going back to sleep.....
March 17th
You know, it's funny....I know so much about me already and I don't even know what my mother looks like. And she doesn't even know I'm living here, under her heart...but she's warm, I know...and soft...and kind to give cradle to an imperfect stranger and share with him her blood.
March 24th
My heart started beating all by itself and it scared the heck out of me! Gotta get used to it...it's gonna go on for a long time.
April 14th
Bulletin!!! Oh, is that rabbit sick! Whatever a rabbit is....whatever sick is....but now my mother and father know! They're probably working on names...."David"....."David".
May 5th
It's very nice here. Warm always, and safe. On the other hand—I've got another hand now, too-—there's nothing really to DO. When I was little, it was enough just to be....just to be. All I had was awareness—which is great!—but a foot's fun too! What's the good of having a perfectly good mouth without a puppy's ear to put in it, or 10 whole fingers without an uncle's eye to stick 'em in? With all due respect Mom—I want out!! Or is it in? We can't go on like this forever—I'm gonna be 6-4, remember? With light blue eyes....whatever blue is...whatever light is....I'm healthy and willing and ready to stand on my rights and if that's not good enough, I'm able to kick!
May 19th
Today my mother killed me.

Girls Power
After a meteoric rise that brought them perilously close to the line that separates buzz from hype, Vivian Girls have followed up their self-titled debut album with another that seems to wisely dial things back just a little. That isnt to say that Everything Goes Wrong is subdued or watered down, just that a first impression may not yield any immediate standout tracks. Where the first album was punctuated with showstoppers like Wild Eyes, Where Do You Run To, and the painfully over-analyzed I Believe in Nothing, this one is best given a few spins and time to grow on you. The distortion still sounds like No Age, the vocals still sound like Courtney Love harmonizing with herself, and the pace is still as frenetic, but the Girls have given themselves more room to breathe, finally letting most of their tracks develop past the two-minute mark and fleshing out both their sound and the albums thematic elements, which are largely unchanged: boys, boys they arent with anymore, and thinking about boys they arent with anymore.

Dotsy favors UCLA and USC slightly over LSU, California and Nebraska. Of those five, only the Tigers and Huskers have offered. He claims to also have offers from Michigan, Florida, Nevada, UNLV, Arizona, Arizona State, Alabama, among others.
"I'm still hearing from the coaches at UCLA and USC," Dotsy said. "They send me mail and said they are waiting to see how my season finishes up. I like both of the schools and grew up watching both of them. They are close to home and I think I'd be really comfortable there. I like the area and Los Angeles a lot."
Dotsy, Scout.com's No. 23 offensive guard nationally, attended several UCLA and USC games already and says his parents are favoring the Los Angeles programs as well. "But my parents just really want me to stay in California," he said. "But that may not happen since most of my offers are from out of state. That'll be okay with them too.
"But I think if either UCLA or USC offered me, I'd probably commit," he said. "UCLA is a great sports school and in a great area. They also have pretty good tradition, but USC is just a football powerhouse. You can't go wrong with either one."
The only official visit that Dotsy has scheduled is to LSU on Nov. 23 when the Tigers take on Arkansas. "LSU has great tradition," he said. "They always have great o-linemen and it's a good place to play. Plus they are having a great season."
Another official visit Dotsy would like to take is to Nebraska. "They have real good tradition too and produce great linemen. They run a good offense and I just like their style of play.
"I've heard the rumors about the coaches and they are having a down season, so you never know what's going to happen, but you can't really let that affect you. I try not to focus too much on rumors."
Dotsy says he doesn't have a timeframe for his decision. "I'm still pretty open and will decide whenever I feel the time is right," he said. "I just want to be comfortable and have a good connection with all the coaches."
St. Bonaventure High School is currently 8-1 and heading towards the playoffs. "I'm quick and pretty strong," Dotsy says of his 435 max bench. "A lot of people say I'm like a bulldozer. I take down whatever is in front of me.
"But I still want to improve my footwork and overall speed."
He reports a 3.5 core GPA and a 1580 SAT
