Mamanwa Tribe in Samar
I was cruising along the back roads of central Samar and came across this settlement called the Mamanwa tribe.
After a quick introduction, the group leader, Jennifer agreed to let us take a few pictures and talk with us.
She is only 19 years old but has been designated the chief of this rag-tag group re-settled in this remote area of Samar by the Philippine government.
She is now in her first year of high school in Calapi, Samar, but she has wisdom beyond her years and walks with confident authority.
These people speak both Waray and Cebuano and have been transplanted to this area from Leyte.
They seem ethnically mixed but I believe that the genuine Mamanwa are genetically Negrito.
They are now in the process of growing rice on the hillsides. Life here is hard enough for the locals and this little band of survivors is just getting by.
This is the official sign with it's own light. Very impressive.
Life is very difficult in central Samar.
Heading into the back country!
I really enjoy riding back there but it is not without risk.

Device ID and E-Privacy Directive: Q&A With David Norris, CEO, BlueCava
Have we come up with an appropriate gloomy moniker for May 26 yet? That would be the deadline for Internet publishers in the UK to fall in step with the European Union's E-Privacy Directive, disallowing the use of cookies unless consumers opt in. D-Day seems like a tacky epithet, while "The Day the Cookies Crumble" seems too long (and overly dramatic). Any suggestions?
As zero hour (perhaps "Zero Cookie Hour" could work?) grows closer, BlueCava, which purveys device identification services for advertising purposes, has upgraded its platform to offer clients complete compliance with the E-Privacy Directive. We talked a bit with CEO David Norris, who provided a smart encapsulation of device ID in targeted advertising last week, about how BlueCava keeps in line with the directive while aslo learning a bit more about the enhanced user control offered by the solution.
How does BlueCava's upgraded platform ensure compliance with the EU Privacy Directive? How can a publisher set up an opt-in or opt-out model?
BlueCava works closely with the EU privacy authorities to ensure that BlueCava's device identification technology is compliant with the E-Privacy Directive. Because the privacy laws continue to evolve, BlueCava will continue to invest to keep our technology compliant with the most recent changes in EU privacy law. BlueCava enables sites to choose an opt-out or opt-in model. Because our Device Identification technology can save the users' choice, without using cookies, their choice (opt-in or opt-out) is persistent, meaning it is not lost when a user clears their cookies. This provides an enhanced privacy model that is better for consumers.
Do you think the EU E-Privacy Directive represents a mortal threat to the cookie? Will cookies continue to thrive, or is the future of the tracking tool murky?
The E-Privacy Directive is not really against cookies, but rather it is focused on ensuring that consumers make an explicit choice and that sites adhere to that choice. If a user opts out, then the site should honor that. If a user opts in, sites should also honor that. The trend is to use device identification to persistently save the users' choice, then use cookies once the user has given permission to do so. So device ID has surfaced as a key technology for protecting the consumers' privacy choices.
What other new tricks await users of this new version of the BlueCava software? What else do you hope to offer in the future?
BlueCava's technology is ushering in a new era of privacy capabilities, which will enable the consumer to play an active role in how they experience online advertising and how targeting information about each consumer is managed. BlueCava gives the consumer a role to play in online advertising and over time, consumers will begin to realize how valuable they are to advertisers.
Is device identification seeing real market penetration? What's helping its momentum and what's getting in its way?
BlueCava is seeing significant market penetration across many sections, including publishers, advertisers, data providers, and analytics/measurement providers. There are a number of factors that are causing such a huge growth in the device identification area, including: massive growth in the number of different devices being used by consumers, stronger privacy requirements, and a strong desire to tailor advertising to the end consumer.

A further 274 teams currently are working on plans to launch their own assemblies.
As the assemblies multiply and spread, the disparity between communities has thrown up a series of issues.
The functions of these assemblies were judicial as well as legislative and deliberative.
There must be none of these dances and assemblies, and the cloisters must be re-established.
The first meetings of the assemblies were held in October 1909.
The words of the wise are as goads, and as nails fastened by the masters of assemblies.
But the Congress at New York and the town meetings and assemblies of the different colonies had done their work thoroughly.
They sat beside her in chapel and at other assemblies, and seemed to like to talk with her.
I trust the day will come when silence will more prevail in the assemblies of the people.
The King, who means so well, should be encouraged to repeat these assemblies.
c.1300, "a gathering of persons, a group gathered for some purpose," from Old French as(s)emblee "assembly, gathering; union, marriage," noun use of fem. past participle of assembler "to assemble" (see assemble). Meaning "gathering together" is recorded from early 15c.; that of "act of assembling parts or objects" is from 1914, as is assembly line. School sense is recorded from 1932.

(The Hosting News) – NASA auditors of the space agency's cloud efforts have a message: There's much need for improvement.
The annual audit report was issued late last month, noting that the space agency's move to the cloud had the "potential to improve IT service delivery and reduce the costs associated with managing NASA's diverse IT portfolio."
So exactly where did NASA receive a failing grade? "We found that weaknesses in NASA's IT governance and risk management practices have impeded the Agency from fully realizing the benefits of cloud computing and potentially put NASA systems and data stored in the cloud at risk," explained the audit report.
Meanwhile, auditors also found NASA's acquisition of securing of public cloud services to be "ineffective," with the investigators saying that none of five NASA contracts met "best practices for securing data."
The negative report follows NASA's shutdown of cloud platform Nebula last year, something that was initially set up by the agency in 2009.
To combat problems, auditors suggested that NASA strengthen its governance of cloud computing along with compiling a full inventory of its cloud service providers – something that would ensure the agency meets a requirement to use FedRAMP-approved companies.
"As NASA expands its use of public cloud services, it is imperative that the Agency strengthen its governance and risk management practices to mitigate the chance that Agency operations may be disrupted, data lost, or public funds misused," the report went on to say. To view the audit report in its entirety, go here (oig.nasa.gov).

Penguins' Malkin to test injured foot before Carolina game
Evgeni Malkin isn't necessarily in the mood for a matinee, but he will consider playing today at Mellon Arena when the Penguins take on Carolina at 1 p.m.
Malkin practiced Friday at Southpointe after missing games in New Jersey and Boston because of a foot injury. He would have preferred a night game against Carolina because that would have afforded him a morning skate to test the injury. Still, Malkin will test the injury before the game and hopes to play. "I have a chance to play," Malkin said. "It's not 100 percent. The game is at 1. That's not good for me. I would have liked to have the skate." Malkin made it through yesterday's 45-minute practice. About 20 minutes into the practice, he spoke briefly with trainer Chris Stewart but remained on the ice. He skated with determination in practice but did show signs of discomfort late in the session. "It's encouraging because it's the most he's been able to skate," Penguins coach Dan Bylsma said. "But he's still a game-time decision."
» Don't look for the Penguins to take Carolina lightly. The Hurricanes started the season in dreadful fashion but have been one of the NHL's hottest teams following the Olympic break. Over the past 10 days, Carolina has defeated Washington and the Penguins. Both victories came in overtime. "Maybe it would be a dangerous game for a young team or something like that," Penguins defenseman Brooks Orpik said. "But we know they're a good team, so it's not dangerous in the sense that we'll overlook them. They're playing well, and we're a mature team. We realize they're playing well."
» Penguins left wing Matt Cooke drew plenty of praise from his teammates following Thursday's game in Boston. Cooke dropped his gloves on his first shift and engaged in a spirited fight with Boston's Shawn Thorton. The Penguins appreciated the courage Cooke showed in facing a Bruins team that clearly was out to exact revenge for the hit that may have ended Marc Savard's season. "I think Cookie knows he got away with a bit of a dirty hit," Orpik said. "But you know, you have to give him credit. He handled it well. It was taken care of the way it should have been taken care of."Additional Information:
Oenguins game day
vs. HURRICANES
1 p.m., Mellon Arena
TV/radio: FSN Pittsburgh; WXDX-105.9, Penguins Radio Network
Season series: Carolina leads, 2-1. The Penguins fell in overtime to the Hurricanes last week and have dropped their past two meetings with Carolina.
Penguins' streak: Won 1
Who to watch: Jordan Staal. The center's next goal will be his 20th of the season, which will give him 20 or more goals in three of his first four NHL seasons. Also, Staal will likely be matched up against his brother, Eric, for much of the afternoon.
Trends n 'at: Center Sidney Crosby has gone two games without registering a point after seeing his nine-game point streak end ... Center Evgeni Malkin is questionable to play after missing the last two games with a lower body injury ... Three of Carolina's past five games have gone to overtime.

Actor turned politician Jaggesh, who is currently busy with the shooting of Vaastuprakara and Software Ganda is all set to wear director's hat again after two years. The actor, who made directorial debut for his son with the movie Guru in 2012 is now directing another flick for his lovely friend producer Rockline Venkatesh. It is said that the script of the untitled movie has been scripted by Venkatesh, and Jaggesh has taken the responsibility of bringing it on the silver-screen.
"Venkatesh insisted that I direct the film because it's a serious subject that needs to be dealt with in a lighter manner. The movie conveys strong message for the society. It teaches people the importance of money and stresses on the need to plan before investing," says Jaggesh, who is also playing the lead role in the film. The untitled movie will be produced by Rockline Venkatesh, who is currently busy with the shooting of Tamil movie Lingaa starring Superstar Rajinikanth, Sonakshi Sinha and Anushka Shetty. (Rajinikanth Denied Permission To Shoot In Mysore Palace).
It is said that the plot of the untitled movie deals with the troubles that a man faces after he takes huge amounts of loan and ends up making some wrong investments. Jaggesh is likely to take the project after he completes Vaastuprakara and Software Ganda, who is tight lipped about other lead cast.

At first, there was little organized opposition to Nestle's water pumping project in Chaffee County, CO (the local online news site has assembled a project crib sheet).
Now, as residents focus on the lack of economic benefits – and start to recognize the traffic and environmental impacts – organized opposition is growing.
In an area where residents remember wells and springs drying up during the last drought, we're seeing Nestle portray their project as wholly sustainable – while ignoring questions raised by professionals less convinced of their science (sadly, citizens now suggest the critical report wasn't made easily available to the public, a troubling development).
While Nestle's predictably rosy surveys are widely available, the consultant (mentioned above) was hired by the county, and they're far less sanguine.
In several cases, the consultant raises the specter of future droughts and climate change, and Nestle's response revolves around the following concept: we're not required to consider that.
The consultant also questions Nestle's short-term pumping surveys – especially given Nestle's desire to pump more water in the summer months, when impacts to wetlands and coldwater species can be significant.
As in other rural areas, Nestle stands to profit handsomely (one estimate suggests $60+ million from this project), yet Chaffee County receives only a trickle of revenue – and all the negative impacts.
Even residents outside the county are recognizing they will suffer impacts from Nestle's project without benefiting.
There is even an allegation of Nestle-friendly reporting in a local newspaper – a commonly heard complaint in rural communities split by Nestle, where publishers may be reluctant to anger citizens or a potential advertiser.
- You can read the Salida Citizen's Nestle crib sheet here
- You can read the allegation that a report critical of the project was unavailable to the public here
- You can read Nestle's response to that allegation here
- You can read the consultant's report (with Nestle's responses) here
- You can read the allegation of editorial bias in a nearby newspaper here
- You can read my letter to the editor concerning issues of local control here
After reading the submitted application and Nestle's response to criticism, it's clear that the issues are similar to those experienced in other rural communities; regardless of community feelings about a project, Nestle's focus remains on completing application requirements, and those are the only criteria they use to justify their actions.
In Fryeburg, Nestle's project received approval not because it was a low-impact project suited for placement in a rural residentially zoned area, but because Fryeburg's zoning laws weren't specific enough to
In the case of Chaffee County, there's no provision in the 1041 permitting process for citizens who simply don't want to suffer the impacts of a pumping project – even when the benefits are so few.

Political parties in South Australia will be funded from the state's stretched public purse under Premier
Mr Weatherill announced his plans for reform on Tuesday in a move he argued would improve transparency and accountability and limit the role of vested interests.
Under the changes, election-related activities would be publicly funded rather than reliant on private donations.
"Large powerful interests should not have an undue say in public policy-making," Mr Weatherill said.
"You only need look at the American political system to see the potentially corrosive influence of money in politics."
The proposals would see public funds allocated to political parties and candidates for electoral campaigns and administration costs, along with efforts to increase transparency around private donations and place limits on the value of donations.
"Our community must have confidence that elections will be determined by the policies and performance of political parties and not by the size of their election war chest," Me Weatherill said.
The Premier will lead a Labor government seeking a fourth term in the March 2014 election. He has faced persistent poor polling, despite leadership turmoil in the state opposition.
Mr Weatherill said he hoped the changes to campaign financing could be achieved through multi-party consensus.
"While we have been largely free of corruption here in South Australia, we need to ensure both that we remain so, but equally importantly, that the public has confidence that the government decisions are being made for the right reasons," he said.
"Good and transparent decision-making is also our competitive advantage.
"People looking to invest in our state must have confidence that government decisions are made free from any inappropriate influence."

Just thought I'd make a different thread for once. Nothing too serious or anything. Please don't flame me as it is unnecessary. If you don't have anything positive to say then shut up and get the hell out. Ok let's start.
His ying-yang is massively unbalanced, but what if there was a way to separate his light and dark side? Would one be completely ruthless, and have no conscience, and the light side would be almost non-existent as he is almost pure evil now?

As for Obito, he might be knowledgeable, but he has a childish mentality. He is 60% dark and 40% light. He is just a child who was corrupted and got bigger in size and learned things that don't make him smarter in terms of decision making and moral values.
What do you think about Madara and how evil he is. Does he have any good side?
EDIT: I know. The definition I use for evil is "Profound immorality and malevolence"
I know he probably does genuinely think that through power is peace, but it's not right because it's forcing it down on people and it pressures them and makes everybody live in complete fear. He also makes himself want to be the boss of everyone and whoever opposes his wishes, he would vanquish. That's why I came up with the 6% good. Good part actually does want world peace, and bad part is malevolent, thirsty for power, wants control of all things and life, and method of peace is completely selfish and violent. That's the point I'm trying to make.

Rocking the kasbah … Djemaa el-Fna square and Koutoubia Minaret.
You do not take the stairs to the roof of Cafe Glacier in Marrakesh for the indifferent service, and certainly not for the scandalous prices. You are here for the view, because when the sun dies and the muezzin sounds from the Koutoubia Minaret, what unfolds below is a scene that might have come from Game of Thrones.
The great plaza below is the Jemaa el-Fnaa. When shadows lengthen, a human tide seeps into the plaza from the souk behind, forming whirlpools around the acrobats, snake charmers, Koran readers, Berber musicians, fortune tellers, dervishes, performing monkeys, trance healers and sellers of medicinal bark and fetishes. As the sun dips lower, the open-air food stalls erupt in bursts of flame as flambé pans ignite, a culinary inheritance from Morocco's French colonial days.
Part circus, part history lesson but mostly just a series of chapters from the book of earthly wonders, Morocco is a soul-stealing place. Its pre-eminent feature is the Atlas Mountains, which divide the green, fertile, secular Morocco of the coast from the harsh, wizened, fundamentalist interior. If you want nothing more than a suntan and a souvenir fez, the coastal side will do nicely. On the other hand, if you want to feel the hot breath of the Sahara on your face, experience the dry rustle of date palms in a desert oasis and the austere geometry of mud brick and desert minaret, you must cross the Atlas Mountains.
Three hours out of Marrakesh, the road crests the high pass at Tizi n'Tichka and suddenly, the land dries up. No trees, no towns, no water – only a blinding wilderness beneath a solid, luminous sky. A void, and yet one that tugs at the imagination. Crowning the peaks that retreat into the distance is a line of crumbling forts, the lonely former outposts of the French Foreign Legion.
The main city of this region is Ouarzazate, and so perfectly do its mud-brick palaces, dunes, desiccated landscape and decaying forts fit the stereotyped image of a desert outpost that it has become the Hollywood of the Sahara. From Lawrence of Arabia to Prince of Persia, filmmakers have long used Ouarzazate and its surrounds as a backdrop.
The city is also the starting point for the Kasbah Trail, the 250-kilometre road that runs north-east to Errachidia. A kasbah is a large, fortified house surrounded by high mud walls, and if you ignore the electricity wires and the occasional satellite dish, it is a landscape straight out of the Old Testament.
Just south of Errachidia at the eastern end of the Kasbah Trail, Erfoud is home to a handful of surprisingly plush hotels built in traditional style. The attraction is not so much Erfoud itself as its location – the town is located at the northern gateway to the Tafilalt, a small but fascinating group of oases on the fringe of the Sahara Desert.
The southernmost gasp of civilisation in the Tafilalt is Rissani, surrounded by crumbling kasbahs that hint at the splendours that once surrounded the masters of the Salt Road, the trade route that ran south to Ghana. While the town may lack some of its colour now that gold and slave auctions are a thing of the past, market day still brings to Rissani the dashing Tuareg – the Blue Men, whose skins are stained by the indigo dye of their robes.
Essential to the Erfoud experience is the excursion to see the sun rise over the dunes at Merzouga. This is the first solid manifestation of the Sahara, a rippling sea of sand that stretches south towards Algeria. The trip from Erfoud begins with a 4.30am wake-up call, followed by a fast ride in a packed jeep across a stony waste and finally, a trek across the dunes to an auspicious photo point.
So fine is the sand that even a slight wind will cause it to drift. On this morning, the wind blows in savage blasts that lifts the sand in a yellow veil, throwing the dunes into soft focus. While we wait for the sun to struggle above the horizon, Tayeb, my guide, snuggles down on the leeward side of the dune and falls asleep. Finally, sunlight spills across the dunes, cameras click and we turn back for coffee. Bending to wake Tayeb, I make two discoveries. First, with my ear close to the ground, the wind passing over the sand makes a quavering, high-pitched song that I remember from musicians in Marrakesh. And Tayeb isn't sleeping but listening.
Getting there
Quickest route is Qantas to Dubai, Emirates to Casablanca, then Royal Air Maroc to Marrakesh.
Where to Stay
Riyad Al Moussika (riyad-al-moussika.com) is a former palace located in the old quarter of Marrakesh. The hotel has just six rooms, set around a courtyard. Doubles start at about $285 a night, including airport transfers and breakfast. Riad Baraka & Karam (eng-riadkaram.blogspot.com.au) is less opulent, yet delivers authentic style and comfortable rooms from about $86 a night.
What to wear
Cool, light-coloured, loose fitting clothing and hats. And cover up – bare legs and sleeveless tops will attract attention if you're a woman, mockery if you're not.
What to drink
Tea with green mint is the national beverage, usually taken with a sugar lump or three. Mahia is the local firewater, made from fermented dates and flavoured with aniseed. Try it with orange juice, grenadine, ice and a twist of orange peel.
Essential words
French will help, but learn a few Arabic phrases:
Hello. Salaam a eleikum.
Please. Afak.
Thank you. Shukran.
Goodbye. Ma'a salaama.
Life-affirming experience
Getting lost in the souk in Marrakesh.
Essential experience
A camel ride across the dunes.
Best souvenir
A Berber carpet.
The Sheltering Sky by Paul Bowles.

Get Your Dog Care Questions Answered by Experts
Hi Lisa..
Yes, Dolly only does this behavior at night.
I moved into the house last week and it has occurred since.
I have not noticed any other unusual behaviors, still eats and drinks well also.
She will bark inside the house too, which is why I thought the dog door would help. If she had a chance to go outside on her own and investigate, she would see there wasn't any problem and come back in. But now she is barking for extensive bits of time outside. She also barks inside, but not as much with the dog door. Now it is mostly outside.

Barnes & Noble Loses Bid to Dismiss Alcatel-Lucent Claims
Barnes & Noble Inc. (BKS), the biggest U.S. bookstore chain, lost its bid for a federal judge to dismiss some claims it infringed Alcatel-Lucent (ALU) patents related to Internet commerce.
Barnes & Noble, based in New York, sued Alcatel-Lucent in July 2010, seeking a ruling that it hasn't infringed patents registered by the telecommunications company, which had warned of possible legal action. A federal jury in Texas has already ruled that some of the patents at issue weren't infringed, Barnes & Noble said.
U.S. District Judge George Daniels yesterday at a hearing in Manhattan allowed two claims to remain in litigation. He dismissed one infringement claim because Alcatel-Lucent licensed the patent to Microsoft Corp. (MSFT), whose products Barnes & Noble uses on its website.
Of six patents in the initial filing, three were at issue yesterday. Two claims the judge allowed to remain included patents for technology related to checkout functions on e- commerce sites and the use of a search engine that, after the user types in a product search, returns results that don't exactly match the specified product.
"They had their shot," Gerard Haddad, a lawyer for Barnes & Noble, told the judge yesterday, referring to the Texas verdict. "They asserted the same elements against Barnes & Noble in the same way."
Rejected Argument
Daniels yesterday rejected the company's Texas ruling argument.
"It's inappropriate for this court to try to decipher what issues" the Texas jury considered that may apply to this case, Daniels said.
During the hearing, he repeatedly asked the company's lawyers how the verdict should affect his ruling.
"You say the jury by general verdict decided an issue that's in this case," Daniels said. "What is the evidence you want me to extrapolate? How am I supposed to determine what is the issue the jury decided to make them rule against the plaintiff?"
Alcatel-Lucent, based in Paris, said the infringement occurred on the retailer's website, Barnesandnoble.com. Alcatel- Lucent has appealed the Texas verdict to the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. Oral arguments in that case may be heard in May, said Thomas Mahlum, a lawyer for Alcatel-Lucent.
Different Systems
Mahlum argued yesterday that the Texas verdict shouldn't apply to the New York case.
"We're talking about different systems," Mahlum said. "The evidence is different and the functionality is different."
Alcatel-Lucent sought a stay in the proceedings in New York until the appeals court rules. Daniels denied the stay.
"That's not the way it works," the judge said. Referring to the Texas verdict, he said, "Your claims continue to be invalid."
Mahlum argued that the Microsoft license doesn't apply to Barnes & Noble because the retailer wrote some computer application code to perform certain functions using Microsoft's server and software.
"This is a limited license," Mahlum said. "The license applies only if unmodified."
No Evidence
Daniels noted that a witness said in a deposition that Barnes & Noble hadn't modified Microsoft's product.
"He said they took it out of the box and used it as is," Daniels said. "You've put no other evidence before me to dispute that statement."
Lucent Technologies merged with Alcatel in 2006. Lucent had been part of AT&T Corp. and the patents in question were developed at AT&T's Bell Labs in the 1990s.
Barnes & Noble said in court papers that one of the patents is invalid because "the claimed invention was in public use or on sale in the United States more than one year prior to Dec. 30, 1992, the filing date of the patent."
The case is Barnes & Noble Inc. v. Alcatel-Lucent USA Inc., 10-05759, U.S. District Court, Southern District of New York (Manhattan).

text: The festering armpit of the internet, 4chan is an image-based messageboard that is singlehandedly responsible for more stupid internet memes than any other site on the web. From LOLCATS to Rickrolling to "Chocolate Rain", 4chan is the #1 site on the internet for totally moronic crap. ----------------------------------- FROM WIKIPEDIA: 4chan is an English-language imageboard website based on the Japanese-language Futaba Channel. Launched on October 1, 2003 by "moot" ("Christopher Poole"), its boards are based primarily around the posting of pictures and discussion of Japanese comics and television shows. Users generally post anonymously, and the site has been linked to "Anonymous" culture and Project Chanology. The Guardian describes 4chan as "at once brilliant, ridiculous and alarming."[2] 4chan's "/b/" board, dedicated to random postings, is the most active and is notorious on the Internet; Gawker.com claimed in jest that "reading /b/ will melt your brain".[3] The site has generated significant media attention, and its members have been responsible for the formation and popularization of several Internet memes such as lolcats, rickrolling, and the popularity of the Tay Zonday song "Chocolate Rain". It has also received media attention for its attacks against other websites and Internet users, and for the threats of real world violence that have been posted on it.

According to filings for the US Patent and Trademark Organization, several applications for "Oprah's Organics" were filed late last month for, among other items, organic salad dressings and frozen vegetables, soups, beverages and snack dips.
Oprah will be making products that come straight from her farm in Maui and trademarks for Oprah's Organics, Oprah's Farm, and Oprah's Harvest all have applications.
Winfrey owns hundreds of acres in Maui, which include a large farm and a bed and breakfast.
A rep for Winfrey told the New York Post: "The trademarks were filed for Oprah's farm on Maui to enable the farm to grow and distribute produce on Maui and throughout the Hawaiian Islands."
One application filed will allow the Oprah's Organics brand to be used for "catering services."
The final two applications filed in September and August are for Oprah's Harvest and Oprah's Farm, which reference "food, beverages, agricultural and catering services."
At age 41, Winfrey had a net worth of $340 million and replaced Bill Cosby as the only African American on the Forbes 400.
Winfrey continues to support educational causes, spending over $100 million on her Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy for Girls in South Africa.
Oprah binged on 30 pounds of mac n' cheese when Bride of Chucky beat Beloved at the box office.
As of 2012, Winfrey had also given over 400 scholarships to Morehouse College in Atlanta, Georgia.
Between 2004 and 2010 she ranked among the 50 most generous Americans, and according to Forbes, her lifetime giving is estimated at $400 million.
And remember, it was Winfrey who took on the beef industry by saying on one of her shows she would never eat another hamburer.
As the Times notes:
During the height of the mad-cow scare in 1996, Oprah invited Howard Lyman, a cattle rancher turned vegetarian, onto her show to discuss controversial practices within the beef industry, including a process now banned in the U.S. called "rendering," which involves turning cow organs into feed for other cattle.
Winfrey exclaimed at one point that his revelations had "stopped me cold from eating another hamburger!"
"Beef prices plunged for nearly two weeks after the episode aired, eventually reaching a 10-year low. In response, a group of angry cattle ranchers in Texas filed a $10.3 million lawsuit claiming she defamed the entire industry."
They lost.

::cheers you on::
go go go go!
congratulations to your son!
fourth school shooting this week? i only heard about the one at NIU. although, i was a bit distracted by the news that some kid i actually knew took a gun to my old high school yesterday. thank god he told someone who turned him in.
Congratulations to your son! That's so exciting.
Best of luck with revisions. I am very much looking forward to your next novel.
Good luck in the cave and have fun!
School shootings are sad and tragic. Multiple school shootings are alarmingly upsetting… let's hope this is the end of this trend, or at least the beginning of the end.
swimming for the win!
NIU scares me. A lot. And apparently, the shooter wasn't a delinquent and didn't raise much alarm. I is freaked out.
We'll miss you and Good luck!
PS-Those school shootings scare the heck out of me. Is crime up or are we just hearing about it more?
any idea when Twisted will be released in paperback?
i really want to read it, but i'm too cheap for hardcover. 🙂
My brother, 13 years old, is a very reluctant reader. He was assigned a book report from his teacher, so today he was scanning my book shelves looking for the shortest book he could find when he stopped, and to my surprise, pulled out a lengthier book, Twisted. The cover must have caught his attention, and so he asks me what it's about. And I start on this long summary and when I finish he says, "Cool, I'll read this one." And I kind of pause because right on the first or second page I remember that message, "This is not a book for Children" and I'm not sure if he's mature enough to read and understand the book but I don't want to pull the one book he's actually interested in away from him. I don't know, I was just wondering if maybe you could provide some insight as to whether he should read the book or not. Thanks.
P.S. Many congratulations to Number One Son!
Looking forward to another fantastic read.
Hurrah for you and BH and #1Son! All Hail the Month of Walter!
I'm glad I survived college intact. I'm thinking happy thoughts for the victims and their families.

'Baby Dreams' - Poem by Whitney Albright
Full moon's beaming
What is baby dreaming?
Of sweet little sonnets,
Blue baby bonnets,
Trinkets and toys,
Kisses and boys,
Fairies and wings,
Shiny, diamond rings,
Red floating kites,
Tinker Bell and Snow White,
Angels on clouds glowing,
Trees buried in winter's snowing,
Princesses in their gowns,
Princes in their crowns,
Polka dotted umbrellas,
A shoe and Cinderella,
Little girls as they play,
Toys on the sleigh,
Sitting on Santa's knee,
Ornaments on the tree,
Decorations in the grove,
Gingerbread men in the stove,
Jesus in his stable,
Cookies and milk on the table,
Elves as they pose,
Rudolph's old shiny nose,
Carolers in their attire,
Stockings above the fire,
You are tucked cozy in the bed,
Dreams dance in your head,
The full moon is beaming,
Baby, what are you dreaming?

Who cares what he called him? All those that are calling him immature for name calling, I hope that none of you have ever once typed or said any of the following:
Cheez dip
Cheez whiz
Cheez it
Lame Kitten
Lame Kiffikens
Urban Cryer
well...you get my point. He's just having some fun at the expense of a rival school just like the rest of us do at some point. It's just seen in a different light because it's about us.
James Franklin needs to take stock of himself if he thinks he was being witty.
He was extremely disrespectful no matter what he said in his apology. He was also immature and CLASSLESS!
If you have a problem with calling him classless, just ask yourself if you could ever see Coach Saban doing something like that. You won't, and that my friends is the difference between those with CLASS and those that don't.
"I'm just a simple plowhand from Arkansas, but I've learned over the years how to hold a team together, how to lift some men up, how to calm others down, until finally they've got one heartbeat, together, a team."
Coach Bryant
But when I stand in front of my peers and the cameras I will call people by name and give thanks to Allah!
You got some nerve fella calling us out! I shall be a hypocrite and I shall love it!
That's the paradox of success. The moment you stop to enjoy it, you are in trouble. You have to keep moving forward. It's not what you have done that's important. It's where you are going. Alabama Coach Nick Saban
"In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act" - George Orwell
I was criticized on here last year when I said Franklin was merely a more polished Trooper Taylor. I have never liked Franklin or Vanderbilt and never will. I hope the only games Vanderbilt wins are against auburn and ut. Out.
"My momma always said you got to put the past behind you before you can move on." Forrest Gump
"The past is never dead. It's not even past." William Faulkner
"A life is like a garden. Perfect moments can be had, but never preserved except in memory LLAP" Leonard Nimoy
I believe Franklin knew exactly what he was doing. Throw a jab at the biggest target in the conference while the media is in attendance and you are sure to have your soundbite played over and over. It seems like he read the Kiffin book on public relations.
Would I be embarrassed if a 61 year old man called other coaches names in front of the camera? Hell yeah I would. Franklin is just another name on the list of processees though. Maybe he is a fan of himself while also being a coach?
"In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act" - George Orwell
Also I give myself a for that last sentence.

Sydney – Australia's Olympic silver medalist and world champion Christian Sprenger on Thursday retired from competitive swimming after struggling with a lingering shoulder injury.
Sprenger, who won the 100-meter breaststroke at the 2013 world championships and silver for the same event at the 2012 London Olympics, said the injury he sustained two years ago "really took a bigger toll on me than I thought it would."
"After returning in 2015 . . . I worked hard to get back what I had lost, but although I may have thought I wanted it, it wasn't enough," Sprenger said in a statement released by Swimming Australia.
"Towards the end of 2015, my breaststroke just didn't feel how it used to, and I became more and more frustrated."
The 30-year-old — who first represented Australia in 2006 — said it was a difficult decision to retire ahead of the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio.
"The Olympic gold is the only thing missing from my collection, but in this sport, if the mind and body are not perfectly in sync and focused beyond capacity, the performance will not come," he added.
"Ultimately for me, I am not there anymore, and although I may be good enough to make the Olympic team, I can't just be a number on a team, that is not who I am."

If you've started building an AIR application, you probably noticed that your application icons don't appear when launching your app via ADL (ADL is the AIR Debug Launcher, and is what Flex Builder uses to launch and debug your apps). Platform specific icons are created from the PNG files referenced in your application descriptor file at install time which means they aren't available during development. It would obviously be too costly to generate those icons every time you wanted to launch or debug your code.
This typically isn't an issue because you usually don't need to see your application icons during development. However, there are times when you do. For instance, if your application uses a dynamic dock icon, it's nice to be able to see the "before" icon before seeing the "after" version. I've also found that it's nice to be able to try an icon out for a while during the development process to see how you like it over time which means it should appear every time you debug or launch your app.
Fortunately, I've found an easy way to make this work. Here's what you do:
- Make a copy of your application icon and name it something different. One version should be referenced by your application descriptor file, and the other will be compiled into your application. (You don't technically have to make a copy of the icon, but when generating a release build of your application, Flex Builder doesn't copy over embedded resources which means your application icon will be missing. Trust me when I tell you that it's easier to create a copy and avoid this whole issue.)
- Compile the copy of your application icon into your application using code like this:
[Embed(source="assets/application.png")] public var appIconClass:Class;
- In your application's initialization code, create a Bitmap instance of your icon like this:
var appIcon:Bitmap = new appIconClass();
- Set your icon like this:
InteractiveIcon(NativeApplication.nativeApplication.icon).bitmaps = [appIcon];
This code is a little oversimplified because it doesn't take platform differences into account. A more complete implementation might do something like this:
- Check to see what kinds of icons the client supports. You can do this with the
- Scale the Bitmap to the appropriate dimensions for the platform.
- Set the icon(s) using the NativeApplication's icon property.
Since I usually use the Cairngorm framework, I like to create an UpdateIconsCommand which takes care of creating and setting dynamic icons for me. I also like using the as3notificationlib project to help encapsulate some of the platform differences in setting icons.
For a real world example of setting dynamic icons, see my Exchange calendaring application called Lineup (currently being updated to work with Exchange 2007). It sets icons at runtime and even dynamically generates custom icons, all in a way that works well across platforms.

National Research Program
Modeling and uncertainty of complex ground-water systems
A fundamental problem in the analysis of complex ground-water systems is the interplay of data and modeling, both when testing fundamental theories and when calibrating models. Improving how data and models are used has proven to be exceedingly difficult, however, partly because models have been badly misused. One of the most difficult problems is that ground-water model calibration methods used frequently lack any rigorous method of relating models to the calibration data and the predictions of interest, and numerical problems and limitations of forward models exacerbate the problem. Also, the geometry of interconnections and barriers critical to defining ground-water flow are often grossly in error, leading to errors in estimated parameter values, which in turn obscures the ability to derive any general understanding of processes from a set of studies. Also see project home page
Project objectives are to:

Embroidery thread
Step 1. Download and print this template for the bunny face and ears. Cut out the pieces and trace them onto your felt with a pencil.
Step 2. Cut out the 4 pieces you traced and a tiny triangle for the nose.
Step 3. Thread your needle with one strand of embroidery thread and tie the ends together to create a double strand. Stitch the eyes and mouth using my design or making up one of your own. Place the triangle nose on top of the mouth and tack it down, sewing through the back of the felt triangle so the thread doesn't show through. Then use a simple running stitch to sew the inner ear color onto each ear.
Step 4. Place the face on the head and sew both pieces together using a small running stitch all around the perimeter.
Hope you have fun creating your own bunny finger puppet! You can use this idea to make any animal – bat, bird, monkey – the ideas are endless. We'd love to see your Easter craft idea on Pinterest. Tag us @peartreegreet in your pin!

South body to seal illegal mobile towers next week
Cracking the whip on mobile phone towers, the South Delhi Municipal Corporation (SDMC) will start sealing all such illegal structures set up on school buildings and hospitals from next week.delhi Updated: Dec 09, 2012 02:14 IST
Cracking the whip on mobile phone towers, the South Delhi Municipal Corporation (SDMC) will start sealing all such illegal structures set up on school buildings and hospitals from next week.
The corporation has sent show-cause notices to 177 illegal mobile towers set up by various cell phone operators on school and hospital buildings under its jurisdiction.There are 1,543 illegal mobile phone towers in areas under the south corporation but the drive will initially focus on schools and hospitals, officials said.
"We have decided to start the sealing drive from next week and our focus will be on illegal cell phone towers set up on school buildings and hospitals. We have issued show cause notices in all the zones that come under our jurisdiction," said a spokesperson of the South Delhi Municipal Corporation.
The action comes in view of the potential health hazards of such towers with residents and activists claiming radiation emanating from them can cause cancer. Cell phone towers also damage or weaken the buildings on which they are installed.
The official said the rest of the illegal towers will targeted in phases. "We don't want to create panic, which is why we have chosen school and buildings first. Action will be taken on others too," added the official.
The North Delhi Municipal Corporation of Delhi too had issued show cause notices to 677 cell phone towers recently. There are 1,900 cell phone towers in central and north Delhi. Of these, only 1232 have permission.
Sources said the north corporation is expected to start the sealing drive next week. It will also conduct a fresh survey to find out the exact number of illegal cell phone towers.
The east corporation also plans to follow suit.

Reid, Eagles get results with businesslike approach
PHILADELPHIA Sean Landeta, the Philadelphia punter,
remembers how a quarterbacks coach named Andy Reid used to linger when Green
Bay worked on its kicking game.
"He would stand right next to Mike Holmgren to watch every
rep of punt team," Landeta says, recalling the 1998 season. "Some of the other
position coaches would watch, too, but he really took an interest. I said to
myself, 'You know, this guy watches everything.' "
The next year Reid was hired to rebuild a 3-13 Eagles team
so dreadful on offense that its starting quarterback didn't throw a touchdown
pass. "Their self-esteem was probably not all that great," Reid says. "They
had some good players on defense. But their offense was a little bit depleted.
We needed a quarterback. We were fortunate enough that year to get one in the
The blue-chipper, of course, was Donovan McNabb. In Saturday's
wild-card playoff rout, McNabb embarrassed the well-hyped Tampa Bay defense,
scrambling at least a dozen times to either pass or run. He threw two touchdown
passes and set up a field goal with a 39-yard scramble. Powerful as much as
elusive, McNabb is swift and nearly 230 pounds.
And now Andy Reid's team that Pro Bowl linebacker Jeremiah
Trotter remembers as "an organization that was in a mess" in his 1998 rookie
year is suddenly two wins from the Super Bowl. Reid, however, doesn't want to
hear about dream games. After dominating the Bucs, Reid praised McNabb and the
other Eagles playmakers with his usual "good job" line and let it go at that.
"I said that was a great win," Reid recalled. "I said you
guys busted your tails. But now you've got to get right back up on the horse
Reid drove through the darkness and arrived at his office
yesterday at 4:30 a.m. "I don't think that's a bragging tool," he says. "That's
just me." Juan Castillo, the offensive line coach, joined him for a predawn
look at the game tapes. Perhaps that was fitting, since Reid was a blocker for
Jim McMahon at Brigham Young, versatile enough to play up and down the line
like a piano player.
"I was a very average player," Reid says. "I was fortunate
to be able to play every position. I was small, about 240 pounds. But I could
run; I could do five (seconds) flat. I've put on a good 100 pounds. I tell my
wife that she got twice for the money."
Owner Jeffrey Lurie, too, got a formidable coach for his
money when he hired Reid off Holmgren's staff. "The players see him for what
he is, which is an honest, hard-working, obsessed with winning, good guy," Lurie
says. "He always does what he thinks is best for the team, not what other people
are clamoring for."
Lurie senses that the Eagles truly reflect their low-key
head coach. "They are a team that doesn't panic," he says. "A team that is very
disciplined in its approach." Lurie also senses that Reid brought with him a
break-from-tradition philosophy of throwing in frigid weather.
The Eagles have McNabb, a big-play scrambler, playing Brett
Favre's role. They have a fine secondary that can cover and tackle. They have
a Mike Caldwell-Trotter-Carlos Emmons linebacking unit that took care of wrapping
up Warrick Dunn and Mike Alstott. And they have James Thrash and Todd Pinkston
outside as disciplined receivers; Duce Staley and underrated rookie Correll
Buckhalter to run Reid's power and trap plays and snag screens.
They all share an identity that had eluded them before
Reid arrived. The Eagles simply take care of business. "We're kind of a straight-faced,
hard-nosed, disciplined team," cornerback Bobby Taylor says. "I think we definitely
reflect some of Andy's personality."
Freddie Mitchell, the rookie receiver, says it was "very
hard to read" his new coach. "He's just been very persistent on teaching me
the game of football and that patience is a virtue," Mitchell says. "He's a
perfectionist. And he knows the game, from the receiver's spot on down to the
offensive line."
Reid's philosophy is as simple as his disciplined approach
to the game. You win if you can accumulate enough good players and good coaches
and an owner willing to spend. After three seasons, Reid has clearly accumulated
enough and Lurie has spent enough.

I went to see an orthodontist a few years ago because I decided I wanted to do something about my teeth. The Dr said that I would need a surgery which would make a huge space between my 2 front teeth (I don't remember the name of the procedure) and then I would need braces for years. There's NO WAY I'm going to do such a thing, I prefer my ugly teeth. With the severity of the case, is Invisalign still a possibility or should I just forget about it?
I Have Severe Buck Teeth, Can Invisalign Fix Them?
Doctor Answers 5
Invisalign has come along way in 2 years.
I would suggest to have Invisalign done with the knowledge that a perfect smile was not required but a nice iimprovement instead. When surgery is suggested then I know that bite issues are apparent also. I've done 3 cases recently that were surgery cases and after Invisalign treatment they were happy and now surg. was needed. You will need a couple restarts tho..called mid course corrections,,,ask your Dr. to explain..
Invisalign treatment for "Buck Teeth"?
Maybe yes, maybe no. It all depends on the nature of the underlying problem and your goals. In some cases slight to moderate "buck teeth" can be acceptable both cosmetically and in terms of future dental health. If the goal is complete correction, it may not be achievable with Invisalign. But, if some degree pf upper front tooth prominence is acceptable, and there are other issues, such as crooked teeth, then Invisalign might very well produce a satisfactory outcome. Talk some more with your orthodontist or even get a second opinion so you can be certain you understanad all the options available.
Buck Teeth, Invisalign, Wilson Orthodontics, straight teeth
Yes, Invisalign will correct "buck teeth" and is in fact very good at this type of movement for retraction. However, if it is truely a jaw problem (lower jaw being behind the upper jaw)....an auxillary appliance should be used or as we call it a Class II corrector. This type of appliance will allow us to correct the skeletal and dental problems that are common with this type of malocclusion. An extensive exam would be required by your local orthodontist to determine the different options of treatment.

Invisalign for Severe "Buck Teeth"
Severe overjet ("ovebite" or "buck teeth") is usually a result of an underdeveloped lower jaw. There are really just two treatment options for severe overjet: 1) move the lower teeth forward with surgery, 2) move the upper teeth back by extracting a couple of upper bicuspids. Althogh there are some agressive doctors who might attempt to use Invisalign to align the arches before surgery, most will not because they do not provide enough control for either the orthodontist or the oral surgeon during this complex procedure. Moving the upper front teeth back after extracting two upper bicuspids is also above Invisalign's "pay grade" at this point. Invisalign alone, without surgery or removing teeth, can line up your front teeth but will do very little to reduce your overbite. Good luck!
Invisalign can HELP with buck teeth
But maybe only in a limited way. If surgery is best, then anything less is a compromise (usually). However, you may LOVE the result of the "compromise" so don't let it stop you. Invisalign can help with the crookedness of the teeth, but don't expect perfection with the buck teeth.
If you are OK with the limitations, go for it.

What do cigar bloggers and customers think of our cigars? Read their reviews!
"Another cigar that will surprise some of you is called Nino Vasquez (4 stars) and is distributed by Tony Serino of APS Distributers. Tony is still focusing on good cigars at reasonable prices, and the new Nino Vasquez delivers the message. It is a combination of Dominican and Nicaraguan Cuban Seed tobacco in the filler with a Connecticut Shade wrapper. The head has a traditional Cuban pigtail and the foot is closed. The draw is excellent, the aroma is that of a very nice traditional cigar and the flavors are little bourbon or rum-like."
"I initially thought that the Nino Vasquez Cask Aged Connecticut would be pretty straight-forward in terms of flavor. It started off with a smooth, classic taste, and then somewhere around the middle of the smoke it switched gears and started to show some real complexity. The pigtail and closed foot made for a nice presentation, not to mention an easy cut and light, and this stogie smoked like a champ from start to finish. I have to think this particular vitola would be a great golf cigar, both because of its size and its easygoing character. I recommend it for anyone looking for an affordable cigar with top-shelf character and ultra-smooth smokability."
"I enjoyed this cigar. Even the one with the annoying split was a good smoke. The cigar is a solid, well-priced smoke with a good flavor profile. It starts a bit mild at the beginning but the flavors improve significantly during the second third. I'd say this is a great cigar to accompany your morning coffee if you're a seasoned smoker, and probably one mild cigar smokers will find rather enjoyable."
"These cigars use a top quality Connecticut wrapper combined with full flavor, robust Nicaraguan and Honduran fillers.
Many cigar smokers have written excellent reviews about these smokes and they do come highly recommended. Cigar Aficionado has constantly given high scores to many of the Niño Vasquezes lines. The Antonius line was awarded a healthy 93 rate.
If you're looking for a good, powerful smoke with great construction where evidently attention to detail, try Antonius, Cask-Aged or King Series."

Award-Winning "Lion and the Mouse: The Story of America and Bermuda" DVD Scores Fantasic Review
The award winning Janson Media DVD Lion and the Mouse: The Story of America and Bermuda (1 x 153′) was recommend in a recent review by Video Librarian. The Lion and the Mouse: The Story of America and Bermuda, narrated by Michael Douglas, is a series of three hour-long documentary films that tell the story of Bermuda's role in American history, and the conflicts and characters that shaped the relationship between the little Atlantic island and the great nation that dates back four centuries.
"Narrated by Michael Douglas, this three-part series chronicles the historical relationship between North America (first the English colonies, and then the United States) and the British island group off the North Carolina coast, using Aesop's titular fable as a metaphor for the ways in which the great and small powers have interacted. The series covers Bermuda's initial settlement by a group of Brits headed for Jamestown and its significance in trade and tourism, while also emphasizing its role in abolitionism; but most of the story—understandably, given Bermuda's strategic location in the Atlantic—focuses on wars. The involvement of islanders on both sides of the American Revolution is followed by an account of Bermuda's central importance in the War of 1812 and its role during the Civil War (with residents once again divided), as well as the two world wars (particularly intriguing are episodes dealing with spies and top-secret naval missions). Filmmaker Lucinda Spurling mixes conventional documentary techniques—narration, archival footage/stills, artwork, and interview excerpts—with somewhat stilted dramatic reenactments. A valuable treatment of a significant but largely ignored sidebar to both U.S. and British history, this is recommended." Three STARS – Video Librarian
Video Librarian is the video review magazine for public, school, academic, and special libraries, as well as video fans who are interested in a wider variety of titles than what's found in the average video store.
