LOS ANGELES - More California high school students graduated in 2011 and fewer dropped out, with the biggest gains posted by Hispanic, black and English learner students, the state Department of Education said Wednesday.
Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Torlakson said he was encouraged by the results, which put California's graduation rate at 76.3 percent, up 1.5 percent from 2010, and the dropout rate at 14.4 percent, down by 2.2 percent from 2010, but noted there was still much room for improvement.
"It's going in the right direction, but it's not where we want it to be," he said during a teleconference with reporters. "We want to be at 85 to 90 percent."
While statewide numbers showed progress, graduation rates in the Long Beach Unified School District were down slightly from the previous year and dropout rates were higher.
The dropout rate for the 2010-11 school year was 14.7 percent, up from 13.2 percent the previous year. The graduation rate was 77.9 percent, down from 79.8 percent.
However, black students in the LBUSD showed progress last year with a slight improvement in dropout rates - the percentage was 15.5 percent, down from 16.5 percent. Graduation rates for black students stayed the same from the previous year.
The difference between graduation and dropout rates is students who are taking longer than four years to earn a diploma, special education students and students working on equivalency diplomas.
Statewide results for Hispanic, black, English learner and poor students were higher than the overall average, which showed that progress was being made in closing the so-called "achievement gap" in which Asian and white students consistently outperform their counterparts from other ethnic groups, Torlakson said.
Asian students posted the top graduation rate with 90 percent, while black students fared the least well, with 63 percent.
English learners reported the biggest gains - 3.8 percent more graduated, while 4 percent fewer dropped out.
Hispanic students scored a 2.2 percent jump in graduation and 3 percent fewer left school, while 2.3 percent more black students earned a diploma and 2 percent fewer dropped out.
Although the results show an uptick, some said they show that more attention and resources are needed to graduate more black and Hispanic students.
"At the rate California is going, it will take us 13 years to close the graduation gap between Latino and African-American students and their white peers," said Arun Ramanathan, executive director of The Education Trust-West, an Oakland-based education advocacy group.
A number of districts graduate more than 90 percent of Hispanic and black students, showing that it can be done, Ramanathan said.
San Diego Unified Superintendent Bill Kowba attributed his district's gains of about 4 percent in the graduation of black and Hispanic students to increased dropout prevention efforts, including pursuing truants, online learning, motivational events and extra counseling.
The state's largest school district, Los Angeles Unified, posted a 4.2 percent drop in its dropout rate, to 20.6 percent, and less than 1 percent decline in its graduation rate, to 61.6 percent.
The dropout numbers are only for high school students. Education officials said a significant number of middle school students never make it to high school, but they do not have those figures.
The report is the second year that the state has tracked a high school class from ninth through 12th grade in an effort to obtain more accurate data on who makes it to graduation and who does not.
Staff Writer Kelly Puente contributed to this report.

I intend to create a MySQL database of a discontinued magazine that was issued for about 50 years with 4-6 issues per year. So the amount of data is set once and for all; when I've fed it all in there will be no more writing to the database. I could invent all the wheels on my own, but I'd rather hear some more experienced opinions before I go too far. So here are my thoughts on it. I'd be happy to get some feedback on them.
There will be a fairly simple web interface with two possibilities - browsing by selecting year and issue or searching in a single search field. I need a fulltext index for the articles as well as the titles and subtitles, and ordinary single-word indices for the keywords and authors' first and last names.
The main table articles should contain one article per row and I started out by creating the columns year, issue, pages, title, subtitle and text. Then the tables keywords and authors as well as tables for connecting these to the main table.
First of all, I suppose most people would agree that I should keep authors and keywords in separate tables. But that will give me queries like the following:
SELECT year, issue, title, subtitle
FROM articles AS a
INNER JOIN articles_keywords AS ak
ON a.id = ak.articleid
INNER JOIN keywords AS k
ON k.id = ak.keywordid
INNER JOIN articles_authors AS aau
ON a.id = aau.articleid
INNER JOIN authors AS au
ON au.id = aau.authorid
WHERE MATCH(articletext,title,subtitle) AGAINST(:ft_1 IN BOOLEAN MODE) OR keyword = :x_1 OR au.firstName = :x_1 OR au.lastName = :x_1)
– in its most simple form, i.e. when there's only one word in the search field and no boolean operators (some version of AND, OR and NOT should be possible as well).
Are there any acceptable ways to get rid of the JOINs and simplify queries in cases like this? (Or maybe the joins won't affect speed as much as I imagine?) I see two possibilities: to move keywords and authors to the main table (which I guess is out of the question) or to make sure that the keywords and authors end up in the fulltext index for the articles themselves. Hidden paragraphs/divs/whatever? Meta tags? Other solutions?
The answer to that question is perhaps dependent on the answer to my main concern – how to store the articles. Some of them are extremely short and consists in a single paragraph, but others will need a lot more markup such as various levels of headers, plenty of paragraph tags, lists, tables and images. Should I store the articles with HTML and all in the database (or XML, which I've discarded as an unnecessary extra step) or in a file system? I definitely need a version with markup somewhere, and if I keep it outside the database I'm going to need two copies of the articles - one with markup, one without markup for the index. The second solution will waste more space than the first, but if the speed is affected positively by keeping markup out of the index, I suppose it's worth it. Otherwise I don't see any real problems with having the markup in the index. The chances of false positives (where the query happens to be identical to a tag name or attribute name/value) are pretty slim, especially since the articles aren't written in English. Any other considerations or solutions?
As for the images, I intend to keep those outside the db entirely.
Ideas? Suggestions? Thanks.
keywords and authors should remain in their own separate tables, with many-to-many relationship tables as you have anticipated in the sample query you posted
the sample query will not work exactly as is, you would need subqueries to return GROUP_CONCAT strings for keywords and authors
as for storing the articles, use two TEXT columns, one without markup for searching and one with markup for display (space is not really an issue because you won't have bazillions of articles)
Thanks. I'm not sure how to implement the subqueries, though, but I'll get there eventually.
As for the text version with markup, are there any obvious pros and cons putting it into a TEXT column compared to having it in a file system and just store the paths in the db?
yeah, i guess that's an option too
You can't use MySQL's fulltext functionality on the files, you'd have to add some sort of search functionality in your code, and they're mostly not trivial to write. Unless you have a very strong reason not to, I'd stick them in the database in a TEXT field.
Also, you want to have a look at Spinx Search: http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/library/os-php-sphinxsearch/Takes some time to set up, but works well (better than MySQL fulltext IMHO, which is a tad too simple for any real searching).
no, but my suggestion was to have a non-marked-up copy of the article in the database, the only issue then being whether to retrieve the marked-up version from an adjacent column on the row, or from an external file
plus, if you do the fulltext searching outside mysql, how would you combine ose results with additional conditions on other attributes, like category, or date_published, or author, etc.
Sorry, I must have missed that.
My point exactly
Thanks, it sounds like something worth looking into. But I would either have to convince my present host to install it or switch to another web hotel. So I'll go with the MySQL fulltext for now and see how far it'll take me.
(I'm glad the two of you sorted out the other question without me. :))

Shadowlaw has "eye-popping action sequences and backstory" says Wired.com!Friday, February 17th, 2012
Wired.com recently reviewed Shadowlaw, saying it is a seamless mix of action and alternate history! You can read the entire review by CLICKING HERE, but keep reading below for an excerpt from the review.
"This story is one of the best I've read at integrating eye-popping action sequences and backstory. The pacing never slows down and the story never sags… I couldn't stop until I reached the end. The plot kept surprising me in a good way. I had to find out what was really going on, I worried for the main character's physical and emotional well-being, and I became invested to the point where I was bummed when the story ended and I didn't have more."
Thank you to Wired.com for the amazing review and keep reading below for how you can pick up a copy!

Despite the fact that many studies in the past have demonstrated the usefulness of marijuana, outdated regulations and attitudes have thwarted legitimate marijuana research. This is evident from the fact that even though marijuana's usefulness can be gauged from the fact that it has been made legal in many states of the United States of America, there are many states that still term it as a Schedule 1 drug, alongside LSD and heroin.
The worst part is that marijuana has been defined as having no medical use and potentially additive in nature even though medical studies have proven that medical marijuana is one of the best drugs for treating health complications such as arthritis, neuropathic pain, nausea, spasticity, glaucoma, movement disorders, malignant tumors, HIV, the AIDS wasting syndrome, or dementia. Medical marijuana is also second to none when it comes to providing relief to patients suffering from health diseases, including hepatitis C, incontinence, multiple sclerosis, osteoporosis, chronic pain, Alzheimer's disease, diabetes mellitus, fibromyalgia, Huntington's disease, and Tourette's syndrome.
If that was not all, the marijuana provided by he National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) is regarded as less potent when compared to the marijuana often easily available on the street. Furthermore, studies that emphasize on finding the positive benefits of marijuana smoking are not easily funded, while those highlighting negative effects of marijuana get easy funds.

Honestly I could care less. This is getting old now it's like dangling candy to a 2 year old. When it's released to the public which seems like it won't be then post this stuff until then what's the point......to tease you??? I don't care ifmthey can port to the 1st gen iPod ifmno release pointless for the end user!
If this was put out to the public it would give apple what they want!!! Ammo against jailbreaking and this time they will win!
these people don't understand that if they decide to release the port, violating apples copyright infringement. they could get the **** sued out of them. and your just sitting there while others are trying to please you by doing what you want.
If it was to come to older iPhones I think it will be a added extra that costs £££ per year
I think although it's obvious Apple wanted to sell a crapload of 4S's, if they had released Siri it to all idevices, their servers would not have been able to handle the load and melted, and everyone would be complaining. As it stands, Siri has already crash several times, with just the 4S's accessing the server. Maybe they need more time to get it out of Beta, and build a bunch more data servers...
What I don't understand is why they can't just do this like they do the Jailbreak?Basically take and download the iOS firmware for the iPhone 4S from Apple's sever (last I checked this is freely available). Then have a piece of software that pulls out the Siri files from the firmware, patches them and installs the files on older iOS devices?Seems to me that would get around copyright laws, as you are legally obtaining the firmware (Apple doesn't require you to prove that you have an iPhone 4S to download the firmware) and all you are doing is taking files from it and patching them. I don't see how that would be any different than a jailbreak.
So if it's not released what is the point of the article? Is it even available on the iPhone 4?
it's not that doesn't work on the older devices, it's about connecting to apples servers. here is the thing. Lets use Yahoo as an example ( ha ha i know ) ... years ago you could only connect to yahoo's servers by using there chat client (messenger) however they found a way to reverse engineer the YMSG protocol and it was possible for 3rd party chat clients to connect to it. it's basically the same thing aside from the legal issues it will happen either from the DEVS or a 3rd party group/person.Finding away around the servers isn't a huge deal someone will figure it out. be patient or buy the 4s simple (server protocols were made to be reversed engineered ) :P

Here Are the Official Specs for Trump's 'Big, Beautiful' Wall
We now have an idea of what President Trump's "big, beautiful wall" is going to look like after US Customs and Border Protection released two requests for prototypes Friday night, ABC News reports.
According to NPR, Customs and Border Protection is asking contractors to mock-up one of two types of walls: a solid concrete wall or a wall with a "see-through component." The government wants the wall be "physically imposing in height," ideally 30-feet tall (thought it would settle for 18). It must be impossible to climb without a ladder or tunnel underneath up to 6 feet below ground.
It also must stand up to attacks from sledgehammers, pick axes, torches, and other tools for at least 30 minutes (though four hours would be better), according to CNN. The requests for prototypes also stipulate the wall must be "aesthetically pleasing," at least on the side that faces the US.

Love stems from loss for Kendall Coyne
Day after day, a 3-year-old Kendall Coyne was dragged to her big brother's hockey games and practices in her hometown of Palos Heights, Ill.
But that didn't mean she was just going to sit quietly and watch.
"I was a little rink rat who would always find a place to play knee hockey while we were waiting for Kevin," the Northeastern junior-to-be and 2014 Olympic hopeful said. "I literally had holes in every pair of sweatpants I owned."
So her parents decided to fortify her wardrobe with a pair of figure skates. That experiment lasted all of a few days. They swapped the figure skates for some hockey blades, and Coyne had found her love. She sped her way through levels of skating skills classes, and a competitor was born.
"I always wanted to be like my brother," Coyne said. "When I was learning to skate, I knew I wasn't as good as him and I wanted to get better."
When Coyne was 4, she played on a team that often practiced on an overflow outdoor rink. Showing up at 7 each morning with a coat over her jersey, she would skate and scrimmage in subzero temperatures. The smell of the brisk winter air, the sound of her skates cutting across the ice and the exhilaration of connecting with the puck enthralled the youngster.
While those memories are vivid, it was her team's first loss that cemented her love of the ice.
"I just remember how bad it felt to lose," she said, "and I wanted to do everything in my power to make sure it never happened again."
Since then, Coyne's growing devotion has mirrored the rise of women's hockey in the U.S. As a left winger and center, Coyne mostly played with the boys until she was 15, when the United States fielded an under-18 team for the inaugural International Ice Hockey Federation World Women's U-18 Championship in Canada. She was the youngest person chosen for the team that won the gold medal.
"That was the first time I realized that this could be a real opportunity for me," she said.
She recalls being awestruck by her teammates as well as the Canadians' infatuation with the sport.
"It was by far the coolest thing I had ever done," Coyne said. "Before that I had never seen girls older than me who could play hockey like that. From that time on, I couldn't see myself doing anything but hockey."
Coyne was named one of Team USA's best players of the tournament.
Now a 20-year-old emerging star with honors and trophies overflowing from her bedroom, Coyne still traces her affection back to those first moments on skates.
"It's hard to describe," said Coyne, who hopes to hear her name called when the national team is announced in Lake Placid, N.Y., on June 23. "It's just a love inside that was there from day one. If I didn't love it, I couldn't do it every day."

transcript:
National Geographic Explorer-in-Residence James Cameron has finished a record dive to the deepest part of the earth's oceans.
James Cameron, SOT:  The Challenger Deep, which is only a small part of the Mariana Trench, is something like 50 times the size of the Grand Canyon. So this is a vast frontier down there that's going to take us a while to understand.
specialized state-of-the-art submersible for the deepest solo-manned dive in history.
James Cameron, SOT:  The whole sub actually squeezes down almost three inches in length just because of the pressure.  The sphere that I'm in actually shrinks.  The window that I look out actually pushes in towards me under 16,000 pounds per square inch of pressure.
Cameron spent more than 3 hours in the lowest point of the Mariana Trench, about 7 miles down, filming and documenting what he saw, and taking samples.
James Cameron, SOT: It was a very lunar, very desolate place, very isolated.  My feeling was one of complete isolation from all of humanity.  I felt as though literally in the space of one day, I've gone to another planet and come back.
Armed with an 8-foot panel of LED lights and several cameras, Cameron will be able to share with the rest of the world a part of the planet that is virtually unknown.
James Cameron, SOT: any of the animals that live there are adapted to this extreme pressure, this total darkness...they're usually white, they have no pigment...some of them have eyes to see bioluminescence, some of them have no eyes at all...it's a completely alien world.
ameron is the first human to reach the deepest point of the Mariana Trench in more than 50 years.

Charlottetown sailor Geoff Ralling is retracing the sailing route into the Gulf of St. Lawrence that Viking explorers were thought to have travelled a little more than 1,000 years ago.
©Guardian photo by Mary MacKay
More than a week has passed since Geoff Ralling started his sailing journey home from L'Anse aux Meadows on the northwestern tip of Newfoundland.
The Charlottetown mariner has been plagued by strong southwest winds for pretty much the majority of the time.
"For the most part it's been a combination of waiting for lighter winds and then motoring slowly down the coast. Not a very Viking-like way to travel!" Ralling said via email.
"Southwest winds are the most common summer winds along this coast, but this summer they have been unusually strong and persistent. The tourists are delighted with all the fine weather and record warm temperatures; the fishermen and southward bound sailors are not!"
The first two days, during which time Guardian reporter Mary MacKay was onboard filing for her Viking Voyage series, Ralling managed to motor south, first to Cook's Harbour and then Flowers Cove.
He continued on to Port au Choix where he was joined on July 30 by Prince Edward Islanders David and Alex Cairns. The next day they managed to get to Cow Head.
As of press time Monday, the Be Faithful 2 crew was still sitting at the wharf in Cow Head for more favourable sailing weather.
"Like the Vikings though, we have taken the waiting-for-weather time to explore some of the local terrain. David and Alex climbed Gros Morne Mountain, which required an eight-hour hike over some steep and rough trails," Ralling said.
Tuesday the crew was expecting to motor to Cornerbrook.
"I am reluctant to head out into the gulf on strong SW winds. Can be done if it comes to that but it would be hard work on my own. So I'm still hoping for a favourable forecast with some north or east winds," said Ralling.
Ralling will be on his own -- and without a car -- after the Cairns leave him. Ralling says that will give him even more incentive to head to the Iles-de-la-Madeleine.
"It's hard to predict a schedule. I would like to be back on P.E.I. in two weeks, but at this rate of progress, that will be difficult. But a couple of days of favourable conditions would see me get to the Magdalen Islands in a hurry."
MacKay will rejoin Ralling in Iles-de-la-Madeleine for the final day's sail to P.E.I. for the wrap up of the Viking Voyage series.

Scribblenauts Unlimited is mostly a side-scrolling Puzzle Game with a degree of Action thrown in. Players make use of a magical notepad to conjure up objects that can be used to complete challenges. The objects created are stored in an object library for use later to solve other problems.
Super Gamer Dude
Wii U
Scribblenauts Unlimited is a unique puzzle game that follows the story of Maxwell and his sister, Lily. The game takes players through different world levels where they are challenged to solve other's problems using a magical notebook. The notebook works by magically creating any object they the player writes in it.
This title is very similar to the previous Scribblenauts titles. In each, puzzles are solved with the same magical notebook. However, this title actually includes a great background story which answers a common question throughout the Scribblenauts series: Where did the magic notebook come from?
The game opens with the story of the notebook. Players learn that the notebook was actually a gift from Maxwell's parents. He, and his 41 siblings are raised with the best of intentions, however, they have become somewhat spoiled. The story continues with Maxwell and his sister Lily as they come across a poor, old man. He seems to be hungry, so Maxwell decides to play a joke on the man by conjuring a rotten apple from the magic notebook. The man confronts Maxwell for his misdeeds, says he is spoiled rotten, and punishes him. The man curses his sister, Lily, and she begins to slowly turn to stone. The only way that Maxwell can save her is by collecting starites. He can collect these starites by using his notebook for good and helping others solve their problems.
The game introduces players to a map of the world, where you can visit different areas. Each area has a theme. There is a school, restaurant, firehouse and castle, just to name a few. Each level has different characters with unique problems that Maxwell has to solve with his notebook. The player is able to interact with each character and can create different objects to help solve problems. For example, a character may need help putting out a fire. The player is then challenged to come up with an object that will help them complete this task. After writing it in the notebook, the object appears on the screen, allowing the character to interact with it. Players can write almost any kind of object to create and encourages them to be creative with their choices. The ability to add adjectives to objects adds an interesting element to puzzle solving.
The puzzles become increasingly difficult as the player goes through the world. All the while, they collect parts of the starite. Once they collect enough pieces, they are periodically able to visit Lily at the farm. Each visit shows how Lily continues to turn to stone as Maxwell works hard to break the curse.
Scribblenauts Unlimited for the Wii U also allows players to play in a multiplayer co-op mode, so they can play with friends. There is also online interactions where players can save and share custom objects. This gives the game a lot more content and more fun for all players. As a whole, Scribblenauts Unlimited is a fun puzzle game for children and adults.

Detroit Free Press
Millions of empty-nesters and millennials are in the market for smaller cars and crossovers, and Ford Motor Co. wants to capture their attention with a new advertising campaign slated to debut next month.
The campaign plays on the theme of "and, not or" and paints unattractive pictures of forcing choice such as mac "or" cheese, rock "or" roll, bed "or" breakfast, as opposed to both. The message: Ford's combination of performance and fuel economy is the better way to go.
The ads are targeted at vehicles mid-sized or smaller, from the Ford brand that includes the Fusion, Focus and Fiesta cars and the Escape and C-Max crossovers. The traditional print and broadcast campaign will run for the rest of the year and focus on individual vehicles.
"When customers shop, they usually start in the middle of the market," said Amy Marentic, group marketing manager for global small and medium cars.
Ford has dubbed this pool of vehicles the "super segment," accounting for half of new vehicle sales nationwide, compared with 35 percent in 2004, said Erich Merkle, Ford's U.S. sales analyst. The numbers are huge and growing: almost 7.4 million vehicles last year, up from about 6.2 million in 2011.
And he sees no signs of it letting up.
Millennials, who range in age from late teens to early thirties, start with entry-level vehicles, and their purchasing power will only increase as they age. And baby boomers are downsizing and will continue to become empty-nesters in the next 5-10 years, Merkle said.
Millennials represent 85-90 million buyers alone, Merkle said, and they are just starting to exert themselves on the marketplace. Combine that with the baby boomers, and the pool is 160 million consumers. By comparison, Generation X is only about 27 million strong.
Their buying patterns have a huge effect on market trends. Boomers don't need big family vehicles anymore, and millennials don't need them yet. Large SUV sales have dropped dramatically while small crossovers are hot. Small cars – mid-size or smaller – accounted for 13 percent of the U.S. market in 2004 but represent 21 percent today, Merkle said.
Ford is working to ensure its fair share. The automaker sold 818,000 smaller cars and crossovers last year and the super segment is driving market share increases. Toyota is the dominant player in the super segment but Ford is second, followed by Honda, Merkle said.
In 2004, 30 percent of Ford brand sales were in the super segment. Today that figure is 50 percent – a 20-point shift in a decade.
Marentic admits it is a mental shift for dealers who historically relied on trucks. She likened it to McDonald's building its business on the success of the Big Mac but finding growth today in the under-400 calorie menu. "The super segment is our under-400 calorie menu," she said.
A surprise for Ford is the relatively new Fiesta subcompact. About 53 percent of buyers are new to the brand and they tend to be young, female, coastal and first-time buyers – not the typical Ford demographic at all, Marentic said. And almost three-quarters stay with the Ford brand on their next purchase, which often is an Escape.
At the top end of the segment is the Fusion. Last year 28 percent of Fusion buyers were under 36 years of age compared with only 22 percent the previous year, a leap Merkle attributes to the styling of the new car resonating with younger buyers.
There are practical implications of this growth. Fusion sales, up 42 percent from a year ago, will face tight inventories this summer, and the addition of the Fusion Energi plug-in hybrid exacerbates the problem. But shortages will ease in the fall when the Flat Rock, Mich., plant starts making Fusions to augment production coming out of Hermosillo, Mexico.

A Virtual Meetup?
Posted 04 October 2013 - 12:10 AM ( #1 )
I'm pretty sure a meet up has been proposed before but I was just thinking... if meeting up in person has its disadvantages, such as having to travel great lengths or encountering not-so-innocent individuals, then why don't we organize a cyber meetup? Like on Tinychat or something of the sort? This way everyone will be able to access it and we can maintain our relative anonymity if we want to. Perhaps it could last a number of hours as well to accommodate for the time differences between users...
What do you guys think? I think it'd be be nice to get to know some other users and people in my area! None of my friends happen to be into tamas. :/

Uhm... TamaChat? You guys can organize which time you'd like to go there since everybody lives at different timezones.

skype is more personal. unlike tinychat you arent 100% anonymous. you cant change your username or skype address.
I LOVE tinychat its a great place to meet new friends. a couple other fandoms i'm in use it.

CoverNearly all versions of this game have cover art and also other artwork showing a very specific unit shoulder patch on the shoulder of each counter-terrorist operative. The specific unit patch is very distinctive -- it corresponds exactly to the French National Police counter-terrorist unit, Group d'Intervention de la Gendarmerie Nationale.
Also, the operatives are shown using ropes to descend walls and smash through windows --- the same approach that was used when the SAS rescued those who were taken captive in the British Embassy near Princess Gate. And the helicopter being used in the game is the type called the "Little Bird," the same type that was used when the American hostage Kurt Muse was rescued from prison during the invasion of Panama.
ExtrasThe original French release of this game (maybe others) contained a set of three transparent stickers. The stickers were supposed to imitate bullet holes when applied on a window or glass.
LegacyAlcatraz from Infogrames is the spiritual sequel to this game.

Chipotle denies Frank Ocean sent insult with check
Listen to Frank Ocean on iHeartRadio
Restaurant chain Chipotle is denying that Frank Ocean attached a colorful message to his lawsuit settlement check.
After Chipotle sued Frank for bailing on an ad campaign, the Odd Future singer took to Tumblr, posting a photo of a check featuring an off-color insult in the check's memo section.
According to TMZ.com, the settlement check Frank actually sent to the company did not include his F-word fueled message. In fact, a rep for the company called Frank's picture of the check a "nice stunt."
Chipotle sued Frank Ocean for $212,500 for backing out of a commercial deal at the last minute. Ocean agreed to record a track for an animated ad, but Ocean pulled the plug after finding out that the final version of the ad would include the Chipotle logo.
Apparently, he believed that the ad campaign was intended to support responsible farming.

text: The new year begins with a couple of fine box sets that came out a little too late for the holidays. Kino International has completed its Blu-ray upgrade of (most of) the major Keaton features and shorts with the 14-disc "Buster Keaton Collection," which includes the 1927 "College" in its high-definition debut. A stand-alone release is promised for later this year, for those who have been acquiring the Kino Keatons as they've come out over the last few years. It's painfully clear why "College" has come out last: the print source is very far from the camera negative that produced Kino's glorious version of "The General," and it shows a lot of serious damage. The film itself is not one of Buster's best — it was a low-budget quickie made to recoup some of the losses of "The General," which cost a fortune and didn't do well at the box-office, and the plot is plainly derivative of Harold Lloyd's 1925 "The Freshman," the William Haines vehicle "Brown of Harvard," and no doubt dozens of other films constructed around the college sports craze of the 1920s. Keaton himself is so obviously a gifted athlete (he looks a lot better in a track suit than most of the real-life USC students drafted as extras) that it becomes difficult to accept the clumsiness that the screenplay forces on him. But those more properly Keatonesque moments of angelic grace are there as well, most memorably in a gag in which Buster, working as a waiter, takes a spectacular pratfall without spilling a drop of the cup of coffee he's carrying. More details here, in the New York Times.


text: Most of the time if I were to tell you that Kelly Osbourne is going to be acting in a movie you would think it is just stunt casting or she is going to film a cameo. Well, the producers of Sharknado 2 think she has world class acting talent and have cast her for the SyFy sequel. Also showing us their acting chops will be Vivica A. Fox, Mark McGrath, Andy Dick, Judah Friedlander, and Judd Hirsch. Judd will probably play the John Heard role and die a glorious death trying to save mankind by pushing Tara Reid in front of a shark. The rest of them will all probably die to but not before we all drink ourselves silly just to make their acting performances palatable. I think Mark McGrath is probably writing his Emmy acceptance speech right now. To thank Sugar Ray or not is his big question.

All icing colors will change slightly after it has been mixed and as the decorated cake sits. Colored buttercream icing intensifies or darkens about 1-2 hours after mixing. Royal icing requires more color than buttercream icing to achieve the same color intensity. Also, sunlight and UV light will alter the color of icing, so keep your cakes out of direct sunlight.

Tim Tebow / Colt McCoy
As the current quarterbacks for the last two national championship teams, Colt McCoy and Tim Tebow have taken center stage in two of the most intensely scrutinized college football programs in America. Even as sophomores, this concept is not lost on McCoy and Tebow. They know they are being watched. They also know that with the immediate access they have to so many people, the opportunities to be a model and a spokesperson for Jesus Christ are preeminent. "In some places it's not the cool thing to do or the popular thing to be and God is not No. 1," says McCoy.
Tebow and McCoy were both hatched from close-knit, deeply Christian upbringings that saw them come to faith at an early age. Tim Tebow's father, Bob Tebow, heads the Bob Tebow Evangelistic Association, which claims to be the conduit of close to 9 million people coming to faith in Christ in the last 8 years.
An NFL career is a goal for both of these young quarterbacks, but they are realistic enough to know there are no guarantees. McCoy looks forward to what God has in store. "God willing, I'd like to be in the NFL, but the important thing to do is His will."

Wolves scratch out win over Tornados, 56-53January 25, 2012
Four Brevard players score double-figures in loss to Newberry
Newberry, S.C. - Anna Schlobohm and Micheala Watkins led four Brevard players in double-digits with 13 points apiece as the Tornados battled Newberry College in Eleazer Arena on Wednesday evening, but paced by 20 points and 14 rebounds by Haylee Lepaio, the Wolves were able to claw their way to the South Atlantic Conference win, 56-53.
Brevard (5-12, 0-9 SAC) had two final chances to send the contest into overtime in a tightly contested game, but both shots bounced out as the Tornados were unable to come away with the win. The Wolves (11-6, 6-3 SAC) took control of the contest late in the first half behind 12 points by Lepaio as Newberry takes their sixth conference win in the season.
Holli Flippo added 12 points and nine rebounds for Brevard, hitting three three-pointers in the contest, while Lindsay Brendle rounded out the Tornados in double-digits with 10 points and seven rebounds before fouling out of the contest.
Lepaio led all players with the double-double, going 8-for-19 from the floor in the win. Ellie Gleeson and Kendra Brown added eight points apiece in Coach Sean Page's 100th career victory.
Brendle opened the scoring in the contest, driving in for the layup at the 19:20 mark as the Tornados and Wolves battled in the opening minutes of the contest. A pair of free throws by Lepaio and a layup by Kendra Brown gave Newberry their first lead of the game at 4-2, but the Tornados battled back to take the lead at 9-8 at the 16:08 mark as Lacey Singletary hit a jumper in the short left corner.
Singletary's jumper started an 8-0 run spanning the next four minutes as the Tornados went up 15-8 on a pair of free throws by Micheala Watkins before a Brown jumper ended the Brevard scoring spree at the 12:24 mark. A Brendle layup extended the lead back to seven, but the Wolves scratched their way back into the game, going on a 9-2 run of their own capped by a Keisha Henderson free throw to knot the game up at 19 with eight minutes to play in the half.
Lepaio broke the tie with a layup off the pass from Ellie Gleeson at the 6:27 mark to give the Wolves the lead and a pair of Gleeson free throws put the score at 23-19 as Newberry extended their largest lead of the first half. The Tornados brought the game back to within two at 26-24 on a jumper by Watkins as the shot clock expired, but Lepaio and Devanee Taylor hit layups in the final minute as Newberry held the 30-24 halftime advantage.
The Tornados rallied back in the second half, tying the game at 39 with 11:37 on the clock on an Alyssa Cutshaw three-pointer from the top of the key, setting up the a fast-paced final 11 minutes in which neither team was able to build more than a two possession lead.
Heading into the final minute, Newberry held the 52-49 lead by virtue of a Lepaio layup. A pair of free throws by Neicey Lewis extended the score to 54-49 with 25 ticks remaining in the clock, but Watkins answered with two from the charity stripe to bring the game back to within three on the next BC possession.
Two Gleeson free throws were answered by a Schlobohm layup with eight seconds remaining in the game, putting the contest at 56-53. Flippo stole the ensuing Newberry inbounds pass, giving the Tornados two chances to win the contest in the final seconds. Asheley Watkins' three-point attempt fell short and was collected by Tempestt Mack, who dished the ball out to Micheala Watkins at the top of the key, but her high-arcing shot bounced out as the buzzer sounded as the Wolves held on to collect the 56-53 victory.
Brevard remains on the road as they begin the second half of their 2011-2012 South Atlantic Conference schedule as they travel to Anderson, S.C. to take on Anderson University on Saturday, January 28th. Tipoff between the Tornados and the Trojans is set for 2 p.m.

Psy responds to Billie Joe Armstrong comparing him to "herpes"
Billie Joe Armstrong's recent comments about Psy haven't led the South Korean rapper to be any less than a "gentleman."
Earlier this week, the Green Day frontman posted a photo of the man behind the viral hits "Gangnam Style" and "Gentleman" on Instagram and referred to him as "the herpes of music." He wrote, "Once you think it's gone, it comes back."
Psy, whose new single has successfully moved him out of the category of one-hit wonder, decided to take the high road.
In an interview with Fuse magazine, he took it as a compliment and actually thanked Billie Joe for comparing him to the infection. He joked, "I kind of like it, it's cool."

August 2013 Fashion Magazine Covers | Pictures
Solid Gold: The Best August 2013 Magazine Covers We've Seen So Far
If you plan on lying on a beach or lounging near a pool in August, then you're in luck. The glossy fashion magazine covers due out next month promise lots of beautiful things to look at and lots of fun articles to read, too.
Case in point: a stunning Beyoncé appears on the cover of Flaunt magazine's latest issue looking as though she took a dip into a massive pile of gold glitter. Inside, she answers questions on everything from her status as a gay icon to the one piece of clothing she couldn't live without — a white t-shirt.
Elsewhere, Freja Beha Erichsen's cover of British Vogue promises a look inside the "glamour, galas, and glitz" of Roberto Cavalli's world. And Teen Vogue takes a look inside Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen's fashion empire.
Get a look at those covers and more here in the gallery.

Some people enjoy the safeguard of the 'slide to power down' that keeps you from making a mistake and accidentally turning off your iOS device, however if you would rather make things easier and skip the 'slide to power down' prompt so that the device easily turns off as soon as you hold the power button for about 3 seconds, then a new free jailbreak tweak dubbed QuickPowerDown by iOS developer ravirajm is for you.
Basically, the tweak just skips the step of showing the 'slide to power off' slider. This way you don't have to spend your time sliding the slider after you have purposely sat there and held down the power button for 3 seconds. As soon as you have done so, you should see the powering down spin loader on the screen until your device screen goes black.
The tweak comes with its obvious pros and cons. On the positive side, the tweak does speed up your shut down time by allowing you to throw the device into your pocket without waiting for the slider. You can even turn the device off right from your pocket without needing to pull the device out of your pocket to look at the screen and power it off.
Of course, the obvious cons of the tweak include accidental shutdowns. For most iOS devices, accidental shut downs should be rather rare with this tweak installed since the buttons on every iOS device are very sturdy and require a fair deal of constant pressure and time to toggle.
QuickPowerDown also comes with a simple preferences pane allowing you to enable and disable the tweak on demand. You can also have the action of holding down the power button yield different actions besides powering off. You can choose between any of the following:
- Power off
- Reboot
- Respring
- Safe mode
For a free tweak, I would consider it to be pretty decent. It works on any iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad running iOS 5. If you like the tweak, be sure to give it a try!
