Gwyneth Paltrow Promotes Boss Nuit Fragrance in Dubai
Heading to the luxurious Dubai Mall in the United Arab Emirates, Gwyneth Paltrow made an in-store appearance for Boss Nuit fragrance at Paris Gallery on Wednesday (December 5).
The "Iron Man" star looked chic in a short-sleeved gray dress as she told the crowd, "I love Dubai!" before signing autographs for invited guests.
In related news, the 40-year-old actress recently opened up about her marriage to Coldplay frontman, Chris Martin, in an interview with InStyle UK.
When asked what the most difficult part of the union was, she replied, "Probably our artistic temperaments together. Artists are sensitive; there are ups and downs, mood-wise. Musicians need a certain gravitas and focus in order to write. The temperament that goes with someone who is creative can be challenging."

Google Book Search Lawsuit Gets Conference Treatment
New York Law School will host a three-day conference about the Google Book Search lawsuit starting on October 8 — one day after the rescheduled fairness hearing that may decide the case's future.
You may recall that the judge in the case has already given tentative approval to the $125 million settlement, but about six weeks before the official approval was due, the judge announced a four-month delay so that interested parties could review the proposed settlement.
The conference, called "D is for Digitize," will include interested parties from publishing and academia who "will examine the settlement through the lenses of copyright, civil procedure, antitrust, the publishing industry, information policy, and literary culture."
There's no information yet about the conference on the NYLS web site, but there is a just-launched @disfordigitize Twitter account.
We're listening.

Vacuum line pics/diagram for 305 w/ Qjet?
Hey, folks!
My 14 yr old has his engine rebuilt, and installed. Now for the hard part: where do all those durned hoses go to?? It's a 305 going into an 86 El Camino, which the previous owners had the forethought to partly dismantle over the years... :nono:
So, we have no idea where many of the vacuum lines go, especially those cool little tiny hard plastic ones that are burned in two somewhere in front of the carb..... :confused:
'86 305 Chevy with quadrajet, HEI, EGR (what's left of the system), AIR (about half of it, at least), and TH200 (not a 200r4, unfortunately) tranny. I don't know if it is a Cali car or a normal one: I bought it in Misery. Er, Missouri. However you pronounce that state.
Any diagrams, pictures, tips, etc... would be appreciated! We have to get it running enough to move it this weekend, as the City is going to tow it Monday if we don't. So, we'll probably haul it into the garage for a while, then back out after they have forgotten us, so we have room to work on it. :P
We really need to get this figured out, as we have not yet started the engine yet for breakin! Thanks for the help, folks, and let's hope it starts!
-Joel R
if this isnt quite right, lemme know, there are 6 other schematics for an 86 305.
6 others???
Wow! Okay, questions: what's an EFE, as listed on the diagram? That diagram looks like it might work, but it only shows the lefthand PCV valve. I assume the righthand one just tees in at the same point?
The Air Management Valve: is that for the smog pump? The smog pump and associated plumbing are missing, except for the righthand exhaust manifold still has the AIR tubes in place... I'm wondering what to do about this, too....
Actually, I won't know if that diagram works till I'm out in the heat (103 expected!) tomorrow. But the tubes that I have already identified appear to be the same configuration. What are the differences with the other 6 diagrams? And why so many configurations? Ergh.
Anyway, thanks for the help! And so fast, too! Dude!
EFE = Exhaust Fume Efficiency valve, also known as the heat riser valve on the right hand exhaust manifold. when cold, it keeps the right hand exhaust manifold closed to allow in speedy heating of the choke stove tube for the choke.
all of the vacuum diagrams i have show the PCV on the left hand side. either side doesnt matter, as long as its plumbed the same way as shown.
yes, the Air Management Valve is for the smog pump. its a valve that comes directly off one of the smog pump tubes. if youre missing some of the smog (A.I.R.) plumbing, you can either replace all of it (if emissions in your state require it to be there) or remove all of it and plug the exhaust manifolds with steel pipe plugs. a friend of mine has an 85ish Bonneville with a 305 and all of the smog equipment is capped off. it passed Texas emissions (which is only a visual inspection in my area) although for my car, they failed me for not having an EGR valve in place.
also, the EFE TVS and Purge TVS are Thermal Vacuum Switches, also known as ported vacuum switch. these are color specific as for what temperature they operate. through my own research, ive concluded that the Yellow = EFE, Purple = EGR, and Blue = Distributor.
as for the rest of the diagrams, they all look to be similar in routing, with only component location being different.
if you look at the upper left hand corner of the pic i posted, it says YCL. this is the emissions label identification. if you still have the original fan shroud, thats where the decal would be located. do you, by chance know what the code is for your vehicle ?
as for the diagrams, im getting them straight from my Chiltons manual for 78-87 GM midsize vehicles.
im glad i could be of assistance to you. holler back if you need more help.
Thanks, Dale
Hey, Good guess! We found the emissions routing tag on the fan shroud, and it is indeed a YCL. Same diagram as the one you posted.
Funny, my son's car has TWO PCV valves, one in each valve cover.... We just plumbed them together into the same vacuum port, and ignored the EFE and its related TVS, since we don't have the smog pump.
The "vac motor" that is mounted on the intake nozzle to the air cleaner housing connects to the heat riser built into the shroud on the right hand exhaust manifold with a flexible metal tube. (As shown on the diagram), but I can't find the EFE. I don't know what it looks like, but there aren't any other components left to hook up to.
Oh! Unless it is that metal valve in between the RH exhaust manifold and the y-pipe! That makes sense: it had some sort of vacuum device attached to it. I took that off and pitched it, since it was mostly frozen and half destroyed.
Well, I think that answers all of our questions: now we're off to finish fishing wires around the engine compartment, so we can try and start the new engine. Thank you SO MUCH for your help, Dale!
I just read this thread and hope to find out how u made out staring up. keep us posted. oops, sorry.
glad to hear ive helped you out, i wish you luck in getting her fired up ! :)
2 PCV's
As near as I can tell, the rocker covers are stock. They have brackets on them for mounting the wiring harness clips in, and they are pretty specific. I did install them on the wrong sides, but I'll make it work.
There won't be any problems, running two PCV's, will there? It seems like this would only increase the positive features of the PCV system, but is there something else I don't know about, if I have two PCV's?
Also: I thought PCV's were supposed to be run into the air filter housing, instead of through the little vacuum tubes to the carb?? The diagram shows the PCV being hooked up to the vacuum lines.
Anyway, thanks, and I'll post again after we start it (hopefully, Tuesday eve!)
Distributor gasket, and wiring shield?
Hey, I've got a few questions about things that are baffling me:
The gasket kit came with a fiber ring that is evidently intended to be a gasket for the distributor. I've heard that sometimes they need to be shimmed to mesh correctly with the drive gear and oil pump shaft: how do you tell if it needs one or not? Aren't they supposed to be able to fit without a gasket? I am using an Edelbrock Performer intake: does that affect this issue?
Also, there is a metal tube about 5 or 6 inches long that the starter wires pass through. It is evidently a shield to keep the wires safe from the nearby exhaust pipes. Does anyone know where that mounts, or better yet, have any pics to show where it mounts??
Oh, and what's the best way to prime the fuel pump, carb and lines before starting the engine? The tank is currently bone dry, so we will have to get the fuel clear up front to the carb before we try starting. Any tips on making this easier?
Thanks, everyone! :thumbup:
-Joel R.
It's alive!
Okay, we got it started! You shoulda seen the smile on my 14 year old's face when his Elky started up for the first time!
Broke it in for 20 minutes, now we are draining the oil and changing the filter, then going to try to figure out why it is idling real fast...
More this weekend!
Thanks everyone! :thumbup:
You should only have 1 pcv valve in the opposite valve cover you should have a vent of some sort. The factory used a tube with a 90 degree bend that went from the right hand valve cover aka pass side to the breather.
lots of funky things
Yeah, there is a lot of funky things about this engine, but it certainly has a grommetted hole in each valve cover! There are two filtered plastic fittings into the air cleaner, as is often used with PCV's, but the diagram for this car doesn't show them, nor does it show anything fitting to the air cleaner.
Ah well, I'll just skip that for a bit, unless you have pics? Next we need to get the oil and filter changed, and then check out why it is revving so high at idle.
If its idling high you might have a vaccum leak somewhere, or you could be on the fast-idle on the carb. You only need one pcv valve, ditch the second one and put in a breather.
The pcv valve should plug into the fat fitting 3/8" at the base of the carb the vent would go in the opposite valve cover so it could suck fresh air through the engine to the pcv valve. without the vent the pcv system will NOT work correctly... the vent can be of various type one being a tube that runs to a little filter that is mounted in the breather..another type would be like one of them chrome filter vents that plugs into the valve cover the one that is opposite side of the pcv valve.... Found a pic of the vent tube
Like the others have said, you need ONLY ONE PCV valve. If you run two, it will eventually suck a gasket into the innards of the engine somewhere.
There may be more than one filtered fitting on the aircleaner IF the engine originally came with an A.I.R. pump. They drew air from inside the air cleaner housing before going into the pump.
sounds like you are getting there, just please delete one PCV before you do some damage.

The Electric Company (1971) : Season 6
- Network: PBS
- Series Premiere Date: Oct 25, 1971
Summary: On the heels of its fabulously successful Sesame Street, the Children's Television Workshop (CTW) created The Electric Company. With its roots in Motown Sound, Broadway and Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In, The Electric Company drew attention for six years as the most popular instructional television show. It would win an Emmy for Outstanding Children's Series, and its soundtrack album earned a Grammy. Targeting children ages 6 through 10, The Electric Company aimed to teach basic reading and grammar skills to the young viewers. The show's cast of skit players helped teach these concepts through the use of skits, songs, cartoon and blackout segments and regular features; all of them revolved around sound clusters (e.g., sh-, -ly, -oo-), contractions, punctuation marks, etc. The series provided material for elementary schools, as CTW published a biweekly TEC Teacher's Guide detailing program contents. Quickly, the cast members began to establish themselves with various personas: • Skip Hinnant (who had played Schroeder in the off-Broadway production of You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown) had one of the best known characters: Fargo North, Decoder. Early in the run, this Peter Sellers knock-off interpreted messages that people gave to him when they couldn't understand what had been written. • The show also made Morgan Freeman. He created Easy Reader, the cool dude who loved reading anything he could get his hands on. Freeman also played radio disc jockey Mel Mounds, who usually introduced The Short Circus tunes (see below). • Rita Moreno created her tagline, "Hey You Guys!", while playing Millie, the Milkman's helper. She put the same fire into playing Otto the Director, who fumed as her actors didn't read their lines properly. • Judy Graubart, alumnus of The Second City in Chicago, became Jennifer of the Jungle, teaching bits of phonetics to her friend Paul the Gorilla. • And who can forget J. Arthur Crank? Jimmy Boyd (B. 1939) created the character, strictly as a voice on a telephone during the first season. In all future years, Crank was seen as that bad-tempered loud dresser. Complimenting the adults in the cast was The Short Circus, a group of five teenaged performers usually involved in songs or dances. Members of The Short Circus drew names from a hat to determine what would be their character name. While the Short Circus changed its talents from one season to the next, they did keep one member constant: June Angela. The show also...

Five Ways to Salvage the Boston Red Sox for 2013
As Red Sox fans know, this season has been, for lack of a better word, a disappointment. A huge disappointment. From upper management to coaches to the players, the Sox need some major shakeups and I have some ideas that maybe Mr. Lucchino should listen to.
1. Fire Bobby Valentine and bring in a player's manager
The hiring of Bobby V to run the Sox was mixed. Some people thought it was a good move to bring in a disciplinarian, while some thought Bobby V's track record was less than stellar to run a franchise of this caliber. The fact is this: Bobby V has been a HUGE failure in Boston and it is time for a change. The Sox should take a look at former Astros manager Brad Mills who was Terry Francona's right hand man and was a much liked figure in Boston. Another person to take a look at is the Rays' bench coach Dave Martinez, who has helped Joe Maddon turn a once hapless Rays organization into a playoff contender. Martinez is also a young coach who can better relate to an increasing younger Red Sox team.
2. The ownership group needs to focus on Red Sox and not Liverpool
John Henry and company has seemlingly been less and less involved with the team since its acquisition of Liverpool FC in 2010. Liverpool has the same problems the Sox have, both have overppaid for players and both teams have underachieved. The owners need to figure out which team they need to focus more on or both the Red Sox and Liverpool FC will continue to fail.
3. Sign Melky Cabrera
This may seem like a risky move, but the Red Sox should take a look at suspended outfielder Melky Cabrera. I still believe he is a talented player and he wouldn't command as much money as he would have before the suspension. Ryan Kalish is not the long term solution for the Sox and Cabrera's signing would be a low risk, high reward, something the Red Sox have had success in the past.
4. Ignore the temptation to sign Zack Greinke
Zack Greinke would be a great pickup for the Sox and their much maligned pitching staff, but Cherington shouldn't take the bait. Greinke is going to be commanding top dollar and rightfully so, but, after the money the Sox freed up, they shouldn't waste all of it on one player. Instead the Sox should sign solid middle of the road veterans who can mesh well with the younger Sox players.
5. Re-sign Cody Ross
The 2012 season wasn't entirely bad. We discovered that Cody Ross can be a great player in Boston. Ross has been the MVP on an otherwise infelicitous Red Sox team. He has hit .270, 21 dingers, and driven in 77 runs and has certainly put a disconcerting 2011 season behind him. Outside of Josh Hamilton, there really isn't much better on the free agent market, so you might as well keep a player that has performed very well for you.

I'm not looking for high end brands such as Dewalt, Makita or Milwaukee......I want to keep my budget at ~$250 max
I was thinking about Ryobi, Kobalt, Porter Cable or Crafstman
I'm also hesitating between NiCd vs Lithium Ion....I know the last one is more convenient, charges faster and has no memory effect, but is more expensive.
Does it make sense to go NiCd nowadays? I was thinking that with the price difference, I could buy a couple extra NiCd batteries.......Or should I definitely consider Lithium?
One like this will serve you well.
As well as all the top of the line tools I have been using Ryobi tools for many year and have had very good luck with them.
The batterys cost almost 1/2 as much the other brands and mine have lasted about 5 years before needing replacement. The day I buy a battery I put my name on it and the date I bought it.
You will soon find the ciruler saw is about usless for all but the lightest work like for cutting 1/4" plywood.
I'd suggest you buy a corded ciruler saw, and an impact screw gun. I by far use my impact screw gun more then any other tool. It will drive deck screws, remove stuborn nuts, drill holes with the hex shank drill bits.
I'd also suggest buying a bit and drill set that Northern Tool sells. It has just about every bit you will ever need, 4, differant types of drill bits, populer sizes have multible drills and bits.
ditto what joe said about ryobi.
btw, black and decker owns other brands such as dewalt and porter cable last time i checked.
i would also pay the premium and get the lithium ion batteries. they seem to have more power (full sized one, not those half height skinnies), retain charge longer and re-charge quickly.
the only thing i use with my nicad batteries is my ryobi radio :)
It seems that the circular saw is useless, except for light tasks
I will in that consider a drill, an impact driver and a reciprocating saw (may have to be as separate elements though...)
I understood you recommend Ryobi...fiar enough. What about Kobalt, Porter Cable, Ridgid, etc...?
And what is best: Lithium ion or NiCd with extra batteries for ~ the same price?
Porta Cable makes great tools but your going to be paying a whole lot more for them.
Ridgid will have a life time warrenty including the batterys. I have a Ridgid ciruler saw, sawsall, narrow crown staple gun, and cordless jig saw.
ALl have worked fine except the staple gun. All the screws came loose the first time I used it. I tightened them up and it works fine now.
And what do you think about NiCd vs Li-Ion?
The tools stay the same, yes or no?
I have a Craftsman 19.2v set I got second hand, drill/driver, impact driver, saw. I totally concur on the uselessness of the saw, but the other two work great. I've heard horror stories on the batteries (I use NiCd because I'm cheap), but they've worked well on homeowner-use for me. If I were a professional carpenter I'd get Dewalt or Makita or something like that, but for the deal I got, I'm not complaining.
i have a ryobi 18+ drill and impact driver set. they work pretty darned good for the $100 i paid for them. i have been buying ryobi for years. and they give me pretty darned good service.
And what about this:
Is it worth the price?
Ooops....copy/paste error!!!
I meant this one
Stilll a good choice. I'd spend the difference for the Milwaukee, or Dewalt; but for homeowner use the Rigid is fine. Haven't heard anything bad about them. If you want to research what is the most reliable and durable tools, visit a rental store. The can't afford breakdowns so they invest in the most durable and rugged tools.:yes:
OK, so in the website recommended in the 2nd post, I found this:
So what is best: This set or the brand new Ridgid from Home Depot @$179.00+tax (6%) and "only" 2 batteries (but Lithium Ion AND apparently a lifetime warranty)?
Agree with the guys that there are plenty of good sets out there, many good brands. I went with the 18v Makitas due to prior brand experience and being a satisfied customer.
But unlike the other guys I find the circular saw to be plenty useful. No, you are not gonna frame a house with it but it easily cuts plywood and 2x4's. Nice to not have to break out a corded saw for those jobs. I have added a few other tools along the way including a blower... you may laugh but it easily blows the leaves off my deck.
Also, like the guys say the small LiIon battery packs don't run that long. But I like having a pair of them anyway for times when I care about lightness. The little impact driver with a small battery packs a heck of a punch in an easy to handle package.
One brand (I think it's Rigid) makes a power caulk gun for ~$50-60 at Home Depot. A friend just picked one up to do some big outdoor caulking jobs. But I don't think any of the other main makers have that tool in their arsenal so if you might want one of those maybe that would influence your direction.
Edit: The 18v caulk gun my friend picked up was a Ryobi. Rigid and Dewalt (maybe a couple others?) make them but they are much more $$.
Any other opinions about my different options?

On 3 September 1914, the recruiting sergeants were kept frantically busy from dawn to dusk, coping with a phenomenon never matched before or since. That Thursday, a month after Britain went to war, 33,204 young men volunteered – more in one day than the army normally recruited in a year.
There has never been a rush to volunteer in the UK to compare with the fervour of August and September 1914. We cannot know how many were answering the call out of a genuine sense of patriotic duty, believing their country was under threat. A great many probably thought that soldiering would be an exciting life and a chance to see a bit of the world. Many were certainly induced by peer group pressure to sign up.
The British army was one of the few in 1914 that took volunteers only. The absence of conscripts meant that it was an effective force for its size: the British Expeditionary Force that set sail for France a few days after war was declared to be "incomparably the best trained, best organised and best equipped British army which ever went forth to war", according to the official historian, Brigadier-General Sir James Edmonds. But the Germans had 2.2 million men under arms and the French more than a million, while the total strength of the British army was 450,000, and the BEF, the only force actually doing any fighting, consisted originally of just 100,000 officers and men.

The Liberal government was deeply averse to the idea of conscription. Therefore, men had to be induced or pressured into volunteering – and quickly.
On 6 August, Parliament gave Field Marshal Horatio Kitchener, the newly appointed Secretary of State for War, authority to enlist 500,000 volunteers aged between 18 and 38, with a minimum height of 5ft 3in. To encourage volunteers, the minimum length of service was reduced from seven years to "three years or the duration of the war, whichever the longer".
At first, there was no great rush. In the week that war was declared, about 15,000 answered the call. One of the best known of the early recruits was Siegfried Sassoon, who would progress during the course of the conflict from war hero to pacifist and anti-war poet. He was so eager to serve that he signed up on 2 August.
In the second week, the numbers were higher. By the end of August, the total had reached 195,000. The army had swollen by more than two-fifths of its previous size in just four weeks, but that 500,000 target was still a long way off. Somebody needed to do some creative thinking to speed up the flow.
General Henry Rawlinson, whose name would later be indissolubly linked with the Battle of the Somme, made the sensible suggestion that men would be more willing to come forward if they could serve alongside those they knew. The idea was taken up by Lord Derby, who put out an appeal in Liverpool on 28 August for local men to serve in the first of what became known as the "Pals battalions". He had 3,000 recruits within three days. After that success, other towns and cities, including Accrington, Glasgow, Hull, Leeds, East Grinstead and London formed their own Pals battalions. On Tyneside, there was a Pals battalion made up entirely of Irishmen.
Showbusiness was also drafted in to boost recruitment. In the book Forgotten Voices of the Great War, compiled by Max Arthur, a mill worker named Kitty Eckersley described the evening that her husband enlisted, after a friend had given them tickets to a live show at the Palace Theatre, in Clayton. "We didn't know what was on, of course, but it was a great treat for us. So we went. And when we got there, everything was lovely. Vesta Tilley was on stage. She was beautifully dressed in a lovely gown of either silver or gold. But what we didn't know until we got there was that also on stage were army officers all set out for recruiting."
Vesta Tilley, wife of the Tory MP Sir Abraham Walter de Frece, was a renowned and highly paid music star. The number she performed on this and similar occasions had been especially composed by a prolific songwriter named Paul Rubens.
The chorus went:
Oh, we don't want to lose you but we think you ought to go.
For your King and your country both need you so.
We shall want you and miss you
But with all our might and main
We shall cheer you, thank you, bless you
When you come home again.
To reinforce the message, Tilley left the stage and walked among the audience, gathering starstruck young men in her wake, who enlisted on the spot. To Kitty Eckersley's horror, her husband joined the queue. He set off for France soon afterwards and she did not see him for six months.
Eventually, at some of these recruiting events, in addition to the stars and the dancing girls, there would be children at the back, primed to hand white feathers to young men who hadn't signed up.
But it appears that the biggest single spur to recruitment was news from the front. The BEF first saw action at Mons on 23 August and Le Cateau on 26 August. That men were dying in action set off the biggest rush to recruitment yet. In a single week, beginning Monday 31 August, 191,000 men signed up, almost as many as in the whole of August. However, by the end of September, they were back to where they were in the first week of the war.
The figures cast an unexpected light on the single most famous image from the great war – that poster of Kitchener, his finger pointing at the viewer, over the slogan: "Your Country Needs You".
Superbly designed by a graphic artist named Alfred Leete and based on a more widely circulated poster with Kitchener's image above a 30-word extract from one of his speeches, it has stayed in the public consciousness for a century when other propaganda images from that time have faded away. The myth is that Kitchener's finger inspired or shamed vast numbers into joining up. In fact, the image first appeared on the cover of a magazine called London Opinion, on 5 September – just when recruitment started to fall away. The historian James Taylor, who wrote an entire book about this one poster, came to the surprising conclusion that very few of the men who set off to war even saw it.
Certainly, the huge effort put into recruitment failed to supply the numbers needed to feed the war machine. By Christmas 1914, 85,000 British servicemen had already died.
Eventually, in July 1915, the Liberal government, driven to the conclusion that it would never enlist sufficient volunteers, would reluctantly introduce conscription.

Iraq's orphans battle to outgrow abuse
By Aseel Kami
BAGHDAD (Reuters) - At night, 11-year-old Salah Abbas Hisham wakes up screaming. Sometimes, in the dark, he silently attacks the boy next to him in a tiny Baghdad orphanage where 33 boys sleep on cots or on the floor.
Salah, who saw both his parents blown apart in a car bomb blast two years ago, can never be left alone at night, said Ahmed Abdul-Baqi, the night shift social worker at the Safe House, a private orphanage in Baghdad.
"He wakes up in the night and tries to hit or even to choke the boy beside him," said Abdul-Baqi.
His hands always trembling and unable to speak properly, Salah is one of an army of uncounted orphans left behind by six years of sectarian slaughter and insurgency that was unleashed by the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq.
As violence finally fades and U.S. troops prepare to withdraw, sociologists and health experts say the children's reactions to such trauma could threaten Iraq's fragile calm just as it needs stability to rebuild.
"The issue is not a place where they can sleep and eat," said psychiatrist Haider Abdul-Muhsin. "More important than that is whether they can find peace inside themselves.
"It is to be expected that when you have a high percentage of orphans and deprived people in Iraq, you will have a corresponding increase in crime and violence in the future."
No one knows how many children had parents torn from them by the war, or the conflicts waged by Saddam against Kuwait and Iran. Some fathers were hanged or shot under Saddam. Continued...

Ed Stenson | 13th November 2012
Today we announce our new data source, the bitly input stream. With 200M clicks a day, it provides an excellent augmentation to the links embedded in Tweets and in messages from other data sources. In the past, we could see which content was being shared; we can now see which links are actually being clicked. In practical terms, DataSift can now reveal activity that, formerly, was hidden. We can show the real reach of content like never before, providing the complete picture, not just one side of it.
The new data source is unquestionably useful by itself, but here at DataSift we're always trying find ways to add more information to the input data, making it richer and more structured. Every time our filtering engine sees an interaction that contains a link, it resolves that link all the way back to the interaction's original target page, even if the link has been shortened several times. Then, it examines the target page, looking for metadata in Open Graph or Twitter Cards format in the page's HTML header. Any metadata that it finds, it adds to the interaction. We believe the result makes the click stream ten times more valuable to our users, so let's explore in more depth the data that our platform can deliver.
Data, metadata, and embedded content
A simple but immensely significant change has arrived in the world of social media, as two apparently separate elements, embedded content and metadata, have come together in a fascinating way. At DataSift, the effect is already impacting about 30 percent of the content passing through our servers, and the trend shows healthy growth.
What are Open Graph and Twitter Cards?
Let's define our terms first; embedded content on a web page consists, for example, of videos or static images such as photographs.
Meanwhile, metadata is nothing more than data that describes other data. If that data happens to be a piece of embedded content, a press photograph, for instance, it might be accompanied by metadata such as:
- a title
- a description
- a URL that points to the photograph
- the width and height of the photograph
... plus as many other nuggets of relevant information that the image's creator chose to supply.
A key technology here is Facebook's Open Graph protocol (now an open standard that anyone can use), and more recently Twitter Cards. Given the volume of content being shared on Facebook and Twitter, these two platforms decided to propose a set of metadata properties that content creators could use to influence the way their content is previewed ("embedded") when shared on Facebook and Twitter.
As an example, the New York Times (one of the over 2,000 newspapers already using OpenGraph and Twitter Card metadata) might specify - for each article - the title, the description, the author, the canonical URL, and what image should be used in the preview on Twitter/Facebook.
Why are Open Graph and Twitter Cards significant?
Open Graph and Twitter Cards allow Facebook and Twitter to present rich content, and these ideas are producing an extraordinary, explosive effect because they benefit so many participants in social media:
Creators benefit because they now have a way to determine what happens to their content after release. By defining metadata for any creation, whether it's a 3,000-word blog, a photograph, a video, an audio clip, or something brand new on the web, creators can name, annotate, and classify their work.
- Syndicators benefit because metadata makes their lives easier. In the old days, a newspaper article about Hewlett-Packard stock might have discussed $HPQ common stock but it might have been about inventory shortages of the latest HP server. The only way to be sure was to read the article, or to use natural-language processing to analyze it. But metadata takes the problem away. To describe the article, the syndicator can simply republish the description that they find in the metadata. If it comes from a trusted creator, it will be good. The quality and amount of metadata can be impressive, and span classification, summary, domain, author information, etc.
- Consumers benefit from metadata because they get a better experience on Twitter and Facebook, by having a compelling, visual preview of the target page embedded in their timeline, and not just a link, so they can immediately make up their mind whether it's worth following the link to the full article or not.
According to our statistics, more than one-third of all the links we receive point to a page with Open Graph metadata, and about 10 percent also have Twitter Cards (it's a lower percentage because Twitter Cards is a younger protocol and less generic), so a really significant portion of the links will contain a wealth of information attached.
Twitter Card
Facebook Open Graph
We believe that we're the only company able to filter against Open Graph and Twitter Card data, offering you an opportunity to gain unique insight. Here are a few possible use cases:
- In real time, monitor clicks on bitly links to your site or check out bitly links going to your competitors' sites.
- For stories about TV shows featured on America's top-five newspapers websites, which ones are shared in links the most?
- For Tweets that were heavily retweeted, filter for those that contained heavily clicked links.
- For stories on Superbowl Sunday, exclude the ones that do not have Google News keyword metadata. Stories with Google News keywords will be amongst those most widely read.

Officials in Louisiana said Tuesday that they located the body of Brian Reed, the brother of Baltimore Ravens S Ed Reed who disappeared earlier this month.
The body of the 26-year-old was located in the Mississippi River about 500 feet away from the location that police said they saw Reed jump into the river when they were pursuing him on Jan. 7.
"It's been tough, but God is good. To have found our brother today brings closure and knowing that he's in a better place," Ed Reed told WDSU-TV.
Texas EquuSearch assisted the Reed family in locating the body, and company spokesman Tim Miller confirmed the discovery of Brian Reed's remains to WDSU.

"I am trying to find some information about the Marriott Hotel downtown Vancouver. I attended a wedding years ago here and recently after getting engaged it came to mind. Of course there are so many hotel venues downtown but what I didnt know about this venue until now is that it has a rooftop Patio! It has an awesome downtown Vancouver feel, adn the patio is huge, it can seat over 200 guests! I am thinking of having my ceremony ont he Rooftop, which the venue says they can rent chairs, runners, etc for (and it isnt expensive at all!) and then my Dinner/Dance reception in the Ballroom. What is great too is that they have guest rooms available for your groomsmen and bridesmaids to get ready in before the ceremony. I hope all works out and the date is available for me. Anyone else have any experience here?"

Silver'ed Out Jeep WK2 SRT8 2012
Hey all,
ive been searching over the websites and i found this link
i would like to see your opinions.
2012 Jeep SRT8 / Vellano Wheels a set by jeremycliff
Re: Silver'ed Out Jeep WK2 SRT8 2012
Not my style. They look like they would be more at home on an Escalade driven by an NBA player.......
Re: Silver'ed Out Jeep WK2 SRT8 2012
I actually really like them. They are fat, so they stand up to the large body lines on the Jeep. They are def flashy, but I still like it.
Re: Silver'ed Out Jeep WK2 SRT8 2012
mixed feelings...
I don't know..to me it totally has more of a WK1 look now, which is cool
hard to explain, if anyone else knows what I'm saying. haha
Re: Silver'ed Out Jeep WK2 SRT8 2012
Not sure about the wheels.....but I really like the body colored front and rear fascia's. I really hope Jeep does this for the 2014, just like they did with the 07+.
I love it! My plan is to colormatch the black eventually....
Re: Silver'ed Out Jeep WK2 SRT8 2012
I don't like the custom job which have been done with the paint. The wheels are like Escalade as some other said...
This is a sport suv. It should look attractive. Not making it luxury looking. That's all wrong.
This car needs Performance wheels. Not any Wheel... They have to be lite weight wheels! not chrome. forged
Re: Silver'ed Out Jeep WK2 SRT8 2012
Although its not my style of wheel, the Jeep doesnt look bad with them by any means. IMO it makes it looks like a high end X5 or one of the Mercedes SUV's. Even though those are nice SUV's, its not what I would want my SRT8 Jeep to resemble.
Re: Silver'ed Out Jeep WK2 SRT8 2012
initially i dont think bright silver goes right on the black parts on a jeep
and up front it looks like an overland with an SRT8 bumper
honestly i think this version is more of a cruising car rather than a racing one.
i do agree with angelo on this one.
shocking what some people come up with, its like putting 23's into a wrangler which is an off road car.
no idea what the owner was thinking, but oh well.
Re: Silver'ed Out Jeep WK2 SRT8 2012
I like it. The WK looks pretty flashy as well and sometimes I feel the wk2 lost some of it. I'm really liking the alpine right now though. :confused:
Re: Silver'ed Out Jeep WK2 SRT8 2012
Re: Silver'ed Out Jeep WK2 SRT8 2012
i kinda had that feeling that says more about how ugly this thing is and it is a bit under stock.
kinda like what they did with the porsche cayenne S
they gave it to you with black trims or color matched trims. (ugly)
but right on.

Video: Actos Diabetes Drug Increases Cancer Risk
Actos, a popular diabetes drug, has been shown to more than double the risk of bladder cancer in patients taking the medication.
|Mobile users click here to view the video.
Lawyers.com Supervising Producer John McCarthy interviews attorney Hunter Shkolnik, an expert on Actos litigation. He describes Actos as a "blockbuster" drug: It has netted its manufacturer tens of billions of dollars and is one of the 10 most-prescribed drugs in the world. Shkolnik explains that a patient's risk of developing bladder cancer increases drastically after taking the medication for two or more years, and continues to grow the longer the drug is taken.
Shkolnik stresses that once you've been diagnosed with bladder cancer, it's imperative to contact a lawyer as soon as possible. Your lawyer can help you navigate the treatment process, handling any disputes with healthcare providers and insurance companies and protecting your right to compensation for your medical care.

Masked booby
|Masked booby
|Austropacific masked booby (S. d. personata) with chick (background)
|Scientific classification
|S. dactylatra
|Binomial name
|Sula dactylatra
(Lesson, 1831)
see text
The masked booby (Sula dactylatra) is a large seabird of the booby family, Sulidae. This species breeds on islands in tropical oceans, except in the eastern Atlantic; in the eastern Pacific it is replaced by the Nazca booby, Sula granti, which was formerly regarded as a subspecies of masked booby.[2][3] It is also called the masked gannet or the blue-faced booby.
A conspicuous and distinct gannet-like species, it was proposed for separation to a monotypic subgenus Pseudosula, but the Nazca booby and as it seems also the brown booby (S. leucogaster) are quite close relatives.
First described by French naturalist René-Primevère Lesson in 1831, the masked booby is one of six species of booby in the genus Sula. The Nazca booby (S. granti) was formerly regarded as a subspecies. There are four subspecies, none of which is separable at sea:
- S. d. personata van Tets, Meredith, Fullagar & Davidson, 1988: Austropacific masked booby
- Breeds in the central and western Pacific and around Australia, as well as off Mexico and on Clipperton Island. Birds of the latter two locations have been separated as subspecies granti, and the north west Australian population has been named as subspecies bedouti, but neither is usually considered valid.
- S. d. dactylatra van Tets, Meredith, Fullagar & Davidson, 1988: Atlantic masked booby
- Breeds in the Caribbean and some Atlantic islands including Ascension Island. It has recently started breeding off Tobago, formerly being known in this area only from a single sight record from an oil rig off Trinidad.
- S. d. melanops van Tets, Meredith, Fullagar & Davidson, 1988: Western Indian Ocean masked booby
- Breeds in the western Indian Ocean.
- S. d. tasmani (including S. d. fullagari) van Tets, Meredith, Fullagar & Davidson, 1988: Tasman booby or Lord Howe masked booby
- The form breeding on Lord Howe and the Kermadec Islands. Large prehistoric specimens known from the former and Norfolk Island are sometimes considered a distinct "species" (properly: subspecies). If this is correct, the extant population's name would be S. d. tasmani as S. d. fullagari was described after S. tasmani. Comparison of ancient DNA form tasmani specimens and living fullagari indicates that they are not distinct.
This is the largest booby, at 74–91 cm (29–36 in) long, with a 137–165 cm (54–65 in) wingspan and 1.2–2.35 kg (2.6–5.2 lb) weight.[4] Adults are white with pointed black wings, a pointed black tail, and a dark grey facemask. The sexes are similar, but the male has a yellow bill, and the female's is greenish yellow; during the breeding season they have a patch of bare, bluish skin at the base of the bill. Juveniles are brownish on the head and upperparts, with a whitish rump and neck collar. The underparts are white. Adult plumage is acquired over two years.
The masked booby is silent at sea, but has a reedy whistling greeting call at the nesting colonies. While on the breeding grounds, these birds display a wide range of hissing and quacking notes.
Masked boobies are spectacular divers, plunging diagonally into the ocean at high speed. They mainly eat small fish, including flying fish. This is a fairly sedentary bird, wintering at sea, but rarely seen far away from the breeding colonies. However, Caribbean birds occasionally wander north to warm southern Gulf Stream waters off the eastern seaboard of the United States. More remarkably, there have been three western Palaearctic records of masked booby, presumably dactylatra, all from Spanish waters, although one of these also entered French territorial areas.
The masked booby nests in small colonies, laying two chalky white eggs on sandy beaches in shallow depressions, which are incubated by both adults for 45 days. In most cases, the first chick will kill its smaller, weaker sibling after it hatches.[5] Siblicide has been well studied in this species; researchers such as David Anderson have demonstrated that while the boobies can manage to feed two chicks if siblicide is prevented, they do so at a steep penalty to health and future reproductive success.[6][7][8]
Compared to other species of boobies such as the blue-footed booby, siblicide is obligatory in the masked booby. One reason is because the masked boobies build very shallow flat nests, so older chicks can expel their younger siblings with relative ease. Blue-footed booby parents, meanwhile, build nests with steeper sides, thus preventing some older chicks from engaging in siblicidal behaviour.[9]

Four years ago in Scotland, St. Mirren's Paisley Panda was ousted for wiping his backside with a Falkirk jersey. Swansea's Cyril the Swan once got in big trouble for ripping off the Millwall Lion's head and drop-kicking it into the stands. Wolverhampton Wolfie's all-out brawl with the Bristol City Cat and the Three Little Pigs was one of the darkest episodes in mascot history.
Two years ago, Referee Lee Probert ejected Queens Park Rangers' mascot Jude the Cat for protesting an offside call, prompting QPR coach Ian Holloway to say, "The ref is from my neck of the woods and down there people say, 'There's one in every village.'" Jude, as one would expect from a cat, showed little contrition. He told the BBC. "How can I be mistaken for a player? I'm a 7-foot black cat!"

- Bigger, Bolder, Smarter TVs at CES Show
- Market Considerations
- Role of Apps
LAS VEGAS -- TV makers showing off their new wares at a huge trade fair will seek to dazzle consumers with bigger, bolder displays, and smarter technologies for consumers who want television to be a "multiscreen" experience.
Companies like Samsung (IW 1000/15), Sony (IW 1000/33), LG (IW 1000/87), Sharp (IW 1000/115) and Panasonic (IW 1000/30) showing at the International CES in Las Vegas this week are making a new push for so-called "ultra HD" high definition of 4K, which can provide stunning, lifelike images at a steep price.
Size is on the rise, with many consumers looking at screen measuring 60 inches, especially in the United States, according to the industry.
"For U.S. consumers, bigger is absolutely better," said John Herrington of the U.S. division of Japan's Sharp, one of biggest sellers of jumbo TVs in the American market.
Sharp is selling TVs with displays up to 84 inchesusing its high-definition display technology called IGZO, using indium gallium zinc oxide.
Samsung meanwhile unveiled a new television that lets two people watch two different shows at the same time. The F9500 television is the first in the world to offer this feature, dubbed "multi-view," using screen technology called "organic light-emitting diode" or OLED.
Viewers must wear special 3D glasses, which come with personal speakers built in to deliver the audio, in stereo, directly to them.
