Let's admit it, YouTube is the new Cable and we are all addicted to it. However there comes a time for everyone when we are out of ideas on what to watch. The recommendations seem all repeated, and the brain can't come up with what to search for…
Well, how would you like to watch some videos that were shot near you instead? 'Videos Near Me' is a webapp which aggregates videos based on location using their Geo Tags.
You start with selecting your location on the google map. By default, Google Maps pre-determines a ballpark location for you – all you have to do is tweak it to make it precise. Once your location is set, the site pulls out all the videos on YouTube that were shot around where you live. It's pretty fascinating, and you might even learn something new about where you live.
A pretty novel way to see what's going on around you, indeed! I had no idea that there was a crazy carpet crawling Kitty living near me. How have I lived so long in the same area without knowing it, I simply can't Fathom!

The board of directors for AT&T Wireless Services Inc. is exploring the sale of the company, AT&T Wireless officials confirmed Thursday.
Chief Executive Officer John Zeglis told financial analysts during an earnings report that there's been "much interest" in the company, although company officials declined to name suitors or set a timeline for the sale of the company.
The company also issued a four-paragraph press release saying it has decided to "explore strategic alternatives" due to "significant interest" from a number of companies.
"The board will consider the company's options and determine the course of action this is in the best interest of its shareholders," the press release said. The company has hired Merrill Lynch & Co. and Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz, a New York law firm, to evaluate offers, according to the press release.
According to media reports, Cingular Wireless LLC, NTT DoCoMo Inc., Vodafone Group PLC, T-Mobile USA Inc. and Nextel Communications Inc. are all interested in buying AT&T Wireless.
Because of a fairly strong financial position, AT&T Wireless will be in the driver's seat in sales negotiations, said Jeff Kagan, an independent telecom analyst, in an email. "I am sure their shareholders are loving it, because they don't have to do a deal unless it benefits them," Kagan wrote. "What a great position to be in."
AT&T Wireless postponed an analyst meeting next week in order to focus on sale negotiations, Kagan said. "They are the belle of the ball right now," he added. "Now they can take the time they need to evaluate, without distraction, all the various companies and approaches. AT&T Wireless is in no rush to make a decision. There is no pressure on them. In fact, one option is not to merge at all."
Company spokesman Peter Rowe said he couldn't comment further, but he emphasized the highlights of AT&T Wireless' earnings report Thursday. The company's fourth-quarter loss was US$84 million or $0.03 per share, compared to a loss of $131 million or $0.05 per share a year earlier. AT&T Wireless' fourth quarter services revenue was $3.9 billion, up 4.4 percent from the last quarter of 2002.
Analysts surveyed by Thomson First Call had forecast a break-even fourth quarter for the company.
AT&T Wireless experienced a couple of problems in the fourth quarter related to customer care software glitches and number portability, Kagan wrote, but he called those problems "isolated incidents."
"The bright side is the worst should be over and the company remains one of the strongest and well positioned, which is why they are the focus of so much merger attention," Kagan added.

"4 1/2 stars! TOP PICK! Dreiling's first book in the Sinful Scoundrel's series is wonderful! Rife with the Regancy's penchant for gossip, scandal and matchmaking, WHAT A WICKED EARL WANTS is a delightful romance featuring a rakish hero, an innocent widow, corrupt villans and a secondray cast of characters who add dimension, wit and tenderness to the plot. Reasers will find this a real pleasure to savor." - RT Book Reviews
Andrew Carrington, Earl of Bellingham, believes in being a gentleman, whether it's fishing a soggy stranger out of the Thames or assisting a fetching lady into his bed. If the stranger becomes a friend and the lady a mistress, all the better. He certainly welcomes the opportunity to help Laura Davenport, a dazzling young widow with a rebellious stepson. Her gratitude, he hopes, will take an amorous form. But from the moment he sets foot in her drawing room, he gets far more than he bargained for ...
It was a moment of desperation. On the brink of losing her stepson, Laura turned to the notorious Lord Bellingham for help. Suddenly she, a vicar's daughter, is in the precarious position of resisting his tantalizing advances. How Bell earned his wicked reputation is clear; the surprise is how much more there is to him than the gossip sheets could possibly reveal. Now every moment with this dangerously desirable man puts Laura's good name at risk-and promises pleasure unlike any she has ever known ... (90,000 words)

Destrehan falls to Bonnabel on fourth-quarter field goal
Jonathan Menard - Oct 25, 2012
For the second-straight game, the Destrehan Wildcats (4-4, 2-2) let a win slip through their fingers, likely ruining their playoff chances in the process.
With 4:03 left in the game, Bonnabels Daniel Valesquez connected on a 37-yard field goal to give the Bruins a 22-21 lead over Destrehan.
With the time ticking away, the Wildcats quickly moved the ball down the field and reached the Bruins 15-yard line after an eight-yard pass from Donovan Isom to Derrick McGee and a six-yard run by Will Mathews.
With just under two minutes left, Isom tried to connect with Michael Smith at the Bruins goal line, but the ball was batted away. Destrehan was then called for holding, which gave the Wildcats a 4th and 20 from the Bonnabel 30-yard line. Isom was chased from the pocket and threw the ball into the ground to avoid the sack, which gave the ball back to the Bruins.
Bonnabel ran the clock out and clinched their second district win of the season.
The Wildcats slept walked through most of the first half, but took 14-6 lead early in the second on a 12-yard pass from Isom to Michael Smith. Bonnabel answered a few minutes later when freshman quarterback Treyvon Pittman found Kyle Evans in the back of the endzone for an 11-yard score.
However, Bonnabel failed to connect on a two-point conversion and still trailed 14-12.
With less than four minutes remaining in the third, Destrehan seemed to put the Bruins away after a 47-yard run by Rickey Jefferson set up a 13-yard score by Mathews that put Destrehan on top 21-12.
However, a freak play changed the outcome of the game.
On the next series, Destrehan intercepted Pittman, but the ball was stripped and picked up by Bonnabels Evans.
Evans ran 52 yard for the score to bring the Bruins to within two points at 21-19.
Neither team managed to gain much ground until Valesquezs winning field goal.

Consumption in Developed and Emerging Economies
In what follows various econometric technique is applied to determine the source of consumption growth with historical retrospective to equity and real estate markets as well comparative analysis of US consumer and Chinese consumer is presented. Evidence supports the argument that consumption as economic growth engine has been possible only due to ability to withdraw and spend equity from appreciating assets in the USA. Financial underdevelopment of emerging economies makes replication of this process questionable.

5 Accessories You Absolutely Need if You Want to Be a Serious Gamer
If you're a serious gamer, you know that this can be more than just a casual hobby. Whether you are playing with friends or family, on your own, or connecting online with friends and family far away as you game together, you may spend hours at a time gaming. Because of this, it's important to stay comfortable so that you can finish your game without aches and pains. These 5 accessories are absolutely necessary to keep you comfortable and happy while you game.
- Gaming chair. Not any old chair will do if you're a serious gamer. Gaming chairs are designed specifically for gamers, so they're ergonomically designed to allow for comfortable seating for hours on end. They also often come with extras, like speakers on either side of the chair so that you can more easily hear the sound effects of the game you're playing. For more information and buyer advice click here.
- Gaming desk. If you're a serious PC gamer, a desk dedicated specifically to gaming can not only keep you comfortable but help you play more accurately. A top gaming desk such as the ones presented on this site has plenty of space for your mouse, keyboard, monitor, accessories and more. It may even have space for multiple monitors so that you can get a more immersive gaming experience. Some gaming desks also elevate the monitor to the perfect height so that you don't have to crane your neck to see your gameplay.
- Noise-cancelling headphones. If you're in the middle of a serious boss battle, the last thing you need is distractions. With noise-cancelling headphones, you can completely immerse yourself in the game and hear every bit of dialogue and music. These are also are courtesy to any non-gamers you might live with who don't want to hear the noise from the games.
- Laptop cooler. If you like to play games on a laptop, a laptop cooler is essential. Using a laptop for hours at a time can cause it to heat up, which may damage the laptop and slow it down. This also effects your gaming speed and accuracy. A simple laptop cooler can prevent the laptop from getting too hot, which can save you money in laptop repairs and time in gaming mistakes.
- Console mount. If you enjoy console gaming more than PC gaming, a console mount is a great way to store your gaming consoles out of the way. This not only makes your space cleaner and more functional, but it also protects the console by keeping it out of reach of children and pets and preventing others from tripping over it. You can even use several console mounts to mount each one of your different gaming consoles.
Whether you enjoy PC or console gaming, or perhaps even both, there are gaming accessories out there for you. Gaming accessories not only help you keep your gaming area clean and organized, they also help you stay comfortable during gaming sessions and allow you to improve your gaming performance. Many of these gaming accessories also come in different colors and designs, so you can really personalize your gaming space according to your own style.

The acquisition, which is still subject to a number of conditions, will see the entire Tribeca network cease its operations six months from the date of the agreement, by which time the migration of the online poker operators to Playtech's platform is planned to be complete. This follows Tribeca's decision to block certain territories, namely the US.
Playtech believes that the synergies between the two companies will lead to significant savings in respect of the additional costs involved in supporting the migrated licensees. Additionally, the Company predicts higher revenues to be generated by the increased player liquidity, as well as the introduction of Playtech's casino games to the migrated licensees.
Playtech CEO Avigur Zmora, commented, 'This is a landmark deal for Playtech, which in one move, transforms the Company into the world's leading poker network that excludes US players. Tribeca is an outstanding fit for us and we look forward to welcoming Tribeca's licensees and offering them the best combination of poker knowledge and world leading technology."
The consideration for Tribeca is believed to be around $75 million, which could rise to $139 million depending on revenue.

UNITED NATIONS (Sep. 30)
Israel declared here that the Lebanese government was being imperiled by the same terrorist "murder squads" for which "pressure is being brought to bear" on the current United Nations General Assembly "to accord some Rind of standing" in the Assembly. In a letter Friday to Secretary General Kurt Waldheim, Israeli Ambassador Yosef Tekoah cited a statement on Sept. 11 by Kazem Khalil, the Lebanese Justice Minister, that "it is not just that the Palestinians should conquer a small country like ours and turn us into a scapegoat."
Tekoah prefaced his statement with a review of new efforts by the terrorist groups to infiltrate Israel from their bases in southern Lebanon to carry out missions of sabotage, kidnap and murder. Tekoah declared that "even Jamal Jumblatt, a well-known Lebanese politician and strong supporter of the terrorist organizations, found it necessary to declare, as reported in the Beirut daily. Al Hayat on Sept. 17, that 'I regret that some of the fedayeen in the south are not implementing the clear orders and instructions of several months ago to withdraw from the villages.'"
Tekoah cited the discovery on the eve of Yom Kippur of two breaches of the border at which footprints of terrorists leading from Lebanon into Israel and back to Lebanon were found. He reported that the terror squad left at one of the breaches weapons, ammunition and leaflets, in Arabic and Hebrew, demanding the release of 10 persons in Israel for terrorist activities.
He said one of the names was that of Arch-bishop Hillarion Capucci, now on trial in Israel on charges of involvement in supplying weapons to terrorists. He said the leaflets were signed in the name of El Fatah. On Sept. 8, he reported, the Zarit area was shelled from Lebanese territory and on Sept. 11, an Israeli patrol north of Zarit was attacked by automatic rifle fire from across the Lebanese border. "These criminal at tacks," Tekoah declared, "demonstrate time and again that the Palestinian murder organizations Lebanon maintain what is in fact a regime of there own completely unfettered in its odious operation.
He said Israel was defending and would continue to defend the lives of its citizens "by taking appropriate measures against the murder organizations." He added that the Lebanese government "which permits the terror activities to continue on and from Lebanese territory, must bear sole responsibility for the consequences of this situation."

In the swim with a very large fin
You should have watched Michael Phelps' incredible performance in the Beijing Olympics on TV. It takes years for a competitor to reach his level. But there is another sport that can give you a chance to achieve fast times in the pool - finswimming. The fastest finswimmer in the world can reach 50 metres in 15.2 seconds while the current world record for men's 50m freestyle is 20.91 seconds.
You may not have heard about finswimming. It is a sport that combines swimming with swimfins and skills used in scuba diving. That is why the sport in Hong Kong is managed by the Hong Kong Underwater Association (HKUA). There are two types of finswimming in general, bifin and monofin. Bifin swimmers use freestyle kicks and two separate fins. Monofin swimmers move from the waist using the same style as dolphins.
Young Post had a chance to meet rising junior finswimming stars at the BOCHK Festival of Sports Scuba Diving and Finswimming Fun Day at Victoria Park Swimming Pool on Sunday. They demonstrated their skills four times during the day to show newcomers how to finswim.
Two years ago at a similar event, 16-year-old Bvlgari Wong Bo-wah tried finswimming for the first time. Now she is a Hong Kong team member. 'I remember the day when I was sitting at the pool side and looked at the finswimmers that did the demonstration,' said the fifth former from St Clare's Girls' School.
'I was attracted to join the sport and now it's my turn to encourage more people to join. I saw a girl that looks like me and wore a swimsuit similar to mine today. It reminded me of my fun day experience.'
Another rising star, Kelvin Tang Chun-hin, 14, said he hopes to learn from Bvlgari and other senior finswimmers. 'This is my first time performing at a fun day. I started by joining the summer course organised by HKUA in 2009, after seeing a poster at a sports centre. I like the speed of finswimming and it looks cool to swim like a dolphin,' said the Form Two student from HKBU Affiliated School Wong Kam Fai Secondary and Primary School.
Jimmy Wong, 24, a coach and elite finswimmer, said finswimming was not well understood in Hong Kong. 'People think finswimming is actually a butterfly stroke but actually they are not alike. Finswimming uses the waist to generate motion in the water but the butterfly stroke uses arms and shoulders,' he said. 'But finswimmers rarely get injured in the waist area ...'
He said participants gradually built up from using two fins to using the monofin over a period of months.
The association was delighted to see the sport growing and wanted more youngsters to join in.
'We have a very tight schedule every year,' said HKUA director Andy Li Man-Shing.
'There are three major local competitions in May, October and December each year, and an invitational event held in the sea near the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, and some competitions on the mainland. We offer many opportunities for beginners aged nine to 40.'
If you want to know more about finswimming, you can watch the Hong Kong spring finswimming open competition on May 15 at Tai Wan Shan swimming pool or join summer classes co-organised by HKUA and the Leisure and Cultural Services Department.

Here is what I do, see if it works for you.
1) make sure that all of pages of a single document are together. Staple
them, you can always carefully remove the staple if you have to do something
else with the document. Paper clips fall off.
2) divide the papers into as many people as there are pensions as there are
in the file. There may be a survivor, a widow, and/or a minor or two as
possible candidates. I have bulldog clips in varing sizes for these. In
other words there can be more than one pensioner in a pension file.
3) take a person file and divided it into the pension acts under which the
pensioner aplied. Could be rejected and accepted pensions in this pile. In
other words a person can have more than one pension file.
4) I then then create a calendar for the file for each pension act. But I
collect two dates. The date the document is created and the date the
document is recieved by whomever it is being sent to.
5) having completed this I then go take a nap because I am tired and my head
I don't do this for every pension, just the ones that are giving me trouble
trying to keep what is going on straight in my head. Always trying to keep
track of the lies and the more lies.
Don't forget that there are pension ledgers on microfilm, or in RG 217 or RG
15 depending on the period. And there are final payments in RG 217. Some
being more tricky (ie. post Civil War) than others. No pension research is
complete without this material.
My two cents.

|College Football's
10 Most Celebrated Inanimate objects*
|1. Waterford Crystal National Championship Trophy
|2. The Goal Post
|3. A Northwest Bleacher seat at Camp Randall (Wisconsin)
|4. Penn State Road Uniforms
|5. The Tennessee River (Tennessee)
|6. Y Mountain (BYU)
|7. The Blue Turf (Boise State)
|8. Howard's Rock (Clemson)

|10. Touchdown Jesus (Notre Dame)
Preparations for placing the initials BYU on the mountainside began in April of 1906 when president George H. Brimhall commissioned surveyors for the letters "B," "Y" and "U." The letter "Y" was first laid out to ensure that the initials were properly centered on the mountain. Beginning in the early morning, students formed a line that zigzagged up the mountain. Standing eight feet apart, each student would carry a load up to the next and then return for another.
The project, which many expected to be completed by 10 a.m., lasted until 4 p.m. and only the "Y" was covered. After such a laborious day of work, plans to fill in the other two letters were scrapped. Covered with a thin layer of lime powder, the letter was in need of constant repair. Hoping to make it more permanent, a layer of rock was added in 1907. The next year, 20,000 pounds of sand and cement were carried up the mountain to form a three-foot high wall around the letter to hold it together. Several years later the letter underwent a face lift as the blocks, or serifs, were added to it to give it its current appearance.
A nationally recognized symbol of BYU, Y Mountain is a featured shot of almost every Cougar game broadcast on television. Located about half a mile east of campus and halfway up the mountain, the "Y" looks out over the valley and is one of its most prominent features.COSMO
The cougar, chosen as BYU's mascot by former coach Eugene L. Roberts in the early 1920s, has undergone a tremendous evolution since its inception to become what is now known as the feline phenomenon of Cosmo the Cougar. Beginning in 1924 when BYU purchased a pair of cougar cubs for 50 cents each to excite BYU fans at athletic events, live cougars prowled the sidelines of BYU games on a regular basis through the late '40s and on special occasions through the '60s.
The original cubs were housed on the south side of campus until 1929 when they managed to break out of their cage, kill two dogs and begin stalking livestock on nearby farms. Both were recaptured later the same day. Three weeks later, one cougar died and the other was taken to the old Salt Lake Zoo. BYU procured its mascots from nearby zoos and local bounty hunters but never owned its own cougars again.
Cosmo the Cougar, the brainchild of pep chairman Dwayne Stevenson, made his first official appearance before BYU fans on Oct. 15, 1953. At a cost of 73 dollars for the costume, Daniel T. Gallego, Stevenson's roommate, became the first man under the fur. The name given the big cat was derived from BYU's diverse student body.
"BYU was a very international, cosmopolitan school and that is where we got the name Cosmo," said Gallego.
With over a half-century of service to the BYU community, Cosmo has become an icon of Cougar sports to fans and foes across the country. Through Cosmo's Kids Club and Cosmo's Corner, he is helping raise another generation of BYU fans. Prowling the sidelines for the Cougars, his antics add to the experience of game day at BYU. Cosmo brings out the best of Cougar spirit in fans at athletic competitions both home and away.THE BEEHIVE BOOT
First instituted in 1971, the Beehive Boot is the symbol of gridiron supremacy in the state of Utah. The idea for the rotating trophy originated with Dave Schulthess, former Sports Information Director (SID) of BYU, and was agreed upon by SIDs from Utah, Utah State and Weber State. As the trophy would represent dominance within the confines of the Beehive State, it was decided that the trophy should be symbolic of the people Utah was built by—the Mormon pioneers.
Finding a suitable pioneer boot for use as a trophy proved to be a difficult task. As pioneers wore their boots until there simply wasn't much left of them, there weren't many pioneer boots lying around. After an arduous search that included numerous personal calls and radio announcements, Tom Beasley, an antique dealer living in Cache Valley donated a pair of boots for use as the trophy. Estimated to be 100 or more years old, the Beehive Boot is an authentic piece of Utah history.
Awarded to the team with the best record against in-state opponents, the Beehive Boot lived its first four years at Utah State University. BYU then began a dominant run as it ascended into the realms of football's elite, claiming the Boot 21 times. Utah has won the boot 10 times. The longest streak in the history of the Beehive Boot is a five-year span from 1983 to 1987 by BYU. After a four-year stint in Salt Lake, the Boot was brought back to Provo in 2006, where it has been for three of the past four seasons.
If Utah's teams should end the season with identical records against in-state opponents, a winner is chosen by vote of the in-state media who covered the schools' games. This situation has occurred twice in the history of the boot (1973 and 1997), and Utah State was given the trophy each time.THE VICTORY BELL
The original Y bell traveled across the plains with the early pioneers of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and was used to call meetings among the saints and to announce any deaths in the community. Donated to the Brigham Young Academy in 1875, it was used to begin and dismiss classes until it was destroyed in a fire in 1884. The Academy went without a bell for the next 28 years, using instead a variety of instruments as a class bell.
Rung after each BYU victory, the bell was quieted in 1949 after a basketball win over rival Utah. Several overzealous students climbed the tower and vigorously beat upon the bell until it cracked. Repaired with a bronze patch in 1954 by Frank Hemingway, the bell was removed from the education building and mounted on a trailer so it could travel with BYU's teams to away games.
Its mobility proved its downfall as it was stolen in 1958 to be found six months later in nearby Springville. The theft prompted the construction of a bell tower on BYU's upper-campus overlooking the Smith Fieldhouse. Dedicated in 1959, the tower served well until 1973 when the bell fell while ringing in the dedication of the Marriott Center. The supporting yoke above the bell was broken and the bell shattered. The bell was soon repaired by Ray Mortenson of the BYU Maintenance shop using electric welding—miraculously maintaining its previous tone—and was remounted in the tower.
In 1978, the bell was moved to its current home on the southwest corner of the Marriott Center. The open arch tower was designed by BYU landscape architect Boyd Dawler and is made of the same cast stone as the exterior pillars of the Marriott Center. Although the old bell tower above the Smith Fieldhouse no longer stands, the massive steel I-beams that supported the tower have now been converted into the strongest park benches in the Intermountain West.
Over the years, the ringing of the bell has come to represent honor, achievement and spirit, and has inspired several poems and songs from BYU faculty and alumni. Clyde D. Sandgren, who composed the Cougar Fight Song, penned a verse that was sung at the dedication of the upper-campus bell tower. As BYU victories have become more and more commonplace in recent decades, the ringing of the "Y bell" after each win has renamed it the "Victory Bell."THE COUGAR FIGHT SONG
Brigham Young University
By Clyde D. Sandgren, '32
Rise all loyal Cougars and hurl your
challenge to the foe.
We will fight, day or night, rain or snow.
Loyal, strong, and true Wear the white and blue.
While we sing, get set to spring. Come on Cougars it's up to you. Oh!
Rise and shout, the Cougars are out
along the trail to fame and glory.
Rise and shout, our cheers will ring out
as you unfold your victr'y story.
On you go to vanquish the foe
for Alma Mater's sons and daughters.
As we join in song,
in praise of you, our faith is strong.
We'll raise our colors high in the blue
and cheer our Cougars of BYU.

This is exactly what I do. Last night I was just thinking that it would
nice to be able to just hit "Apply" to one "saved rule set" and then hit
"Apply" to a different one to close up the holes temporarily poked
through. Don't know how useful this would be -- probably not a lot for
most people. (Then again, companies do sometimes poke holes temporarily
-- I've known it to happen -- so maybe it would be.) As it stands, your
idea being what I do do, I still have to go and enable/disable those
rules and hit "Apply."

Right. Manual clarified. I think Bart's idea is a good one. The good

jess is a writer for sunset magazine and their home blog, and also guest blogs for some really fabulous sites like design*sponge. she will soon be a guest curator for etsy's storque, so she asked me if i could take some new head shots so she'd have a good current pic.
despite saturday being the hottest, windiest, most ridiculously difficult day of the year, we got some gorgeous shots {doesn't hurt that she is absolutely stunning}.
i have about 100 shots that look like the below because i kept telling the worst jokes. {example: what did the fish say when he ran into the wall? DAM!} i love this sequence though:
it was so much fun shooting and catching up - for every minute spent posing/photographing we spent twice as many chatting about everything under the sun.
jess is also a photographer and taking nicole's 101 class, so even i got some time in front of the lens - woo!

The federal government has a Constitutional responsibility to defend our borders. Unfortunately, for years it has failed to live up that responsibility. As your Member of Congress, my first and most important job when it comes to fixing our broken immigration system is to stem the flow of illegal immigrants into the United States. This includes those who cross the border illegally, and those who come to the country on legal visas but once here do not comply with the rules and remain here illegally.
I will do everything in my power to strengthen our existing border operations in order to get our borders under control. I do not support amnesty for illegal immigrants, and I don't believe we can seriously discuss what to do with the people already here illegally until we've stemmed the flow of people crossing into our country illegally every day. It is our responsibility to protect social service safety nets and jobs for legal, taxpaying citizens and residents.
Here are measures I support that will strengthen our immigration system:
* Electronic verification, or "e-verify," ensures that those applying for jobs are legally able. It also keeps employers accountable for who they hire.
* Create a better accountability system for those who enter legally but then circumvent the system to remain here illegally.
* Supporting better border security whether it's a wall, a fence, or new technologies.
* Making sure border agents aren't prosecuted for effectively doing their jobs.
* Make English the official language of the United States, and learning English a necessary requirement for U.S. citizenship.
Our country has a tradition of openness for those who want to come to America and respect the law and I intend to uphold that tradition. Our rich heritage of diverse cultures is part of what makes America great.

She warmed the hearts of millions when she came onto the scene in the early 1930s, and Hollywood learned today (February 11) that it lost a legend in Shirley Temple Black. Coined "The Original Child Star," the 85-year-old actress starred in a plethora of memorable big screen creation in her younger years, using her bright eyes and dimples to cheer up the Depression Era.
She passed away on Monday (February 10) of natural causes at 85 years old, and Shirley Temple Black had quite an impact on everyone around her.
Some of the late "Curly Top" actress' admirers took to Twitter this morning to share their feelings over the tragic loss.
She had the world eating out of her hand with movies like "Heidi" and "Poor Little Rich Girl," and it turns out Shirley Temple Black had an uncanny ability for making herself cry.
Back in 1999, the "Curly Top" actress explained how she was able to go from happy to tears in a matter of moments.
She made an indelible mark on Hollywood from a very young age and sadly Shirley Temple Black has passed away.
The "Curly Top" starlet was 85 years old when she died of natural causes on Monday night (February 10) due to "natural causes."

20 Games Like Lilly Adventure()
Sonic Mania
"It's the ultimate Sonic celebration! Sonic returns in a new 2D platforming high speed adventure, and he's not alone!
Developed in collaboration between SEGA, Christian Whitehead, Headcannon, and PagodaWest Games, experience new zones and remixed classic levels with Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles!"
Jetpack is a platform game available as freeware, originally published as shareware by Software Creations in 1993. The object of the levels is to collect all of the green emeralds scattered around the level while avoiding obstacles and enemies. Once accomplished, a door opens which the player must go through in order to advance to the next level. There is a single player, and a local multiplayer mode. The multiplayer mode supports up to eight players, where players take turns on the same machine.
The player is aided in his quest by a jetpack and a phase shifter, which allows tunnelling through certain walls. The environments, which usually consist of mazes of bricks, also feature vines, gold, ladders, ice, boxes, pillars, and conveyor belts. Other obstacles include jagged rocks, force fields, teleport pads, and indestructible bricks. In order to keep his jetpack running, the player has to collect fuel, by means of single/double tanks or fuel grids.
The game includes a simple level editor. Numerous levels have been published on Adept Software's website. The registered game features 100 pre-built levels. The developers also released a hintbook containing screenshots and a short piece of advice for every level.
Snow Bros.
The gameplay of Snow Bros is similar to Bubble Bobble, released in 1986. The game supports up to two players, with each player taking the part of one of two snowmen Nick and Tom. Each player can throw snow at the enemies. The player must throw snow at each enemy until it is completely covered, when it turns into a snowball. An enemy partially covered in snow cannot move until it shakes it off.
Once an enemy has been turned into a snowball, the player can roll it. The snowball will re-bound off walls, until eventually shattering against a wall. Any enemies the snowball rolls into are eliminated and other stationary snowballs start rolling when the rolling snowball touches them. If the player manages to take out all of the enemies with kicking one snowball (this one snowball may be used to make others bounce around as well and increase the chances to pull this trick off), money in the form of large green bills will fall from the sky. These disappear in a very short amount of time but are worth 10,000 points each, the most the player can get as a bonus.
Every tenth level there is a boss. Each boss can sustain being hit a number of times. In Sega Genesis port, after the 50th level, you play as one of the snow castle princesses.
When a player bowls an enemy over, it may drop a potion bottle. The color of the potion lets the player know what special power-up he or she will acquire.

Super Mario World
Super Mario World (known in Japan as Super Mario World: Super Mario Bros. 4) is a side-scrolling platformer developed by Nintendo EAD and published by Nintendo for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System on November 21, 1990 (in Japan), August 31, 1991 (in North America), and April 11, 1992 (in Europe).
One of the launch titles of the SNES (and bundled with early systems in North America), Super Mario World is the fifth main game in the Super Mario series. (starring Nintendo's mascot, Mario, and his brother, Luigi). The game follows both Mario brothers as they explore Dinosaur Land (known for its large amount of dinosaurs) to find and defeat the evil Koopa king Bowser (and his seven underlings, the Koopalings) while rescuing Princess Toadstool.
Along with new abilities (such as the "Spin Jump"), a new power-up (the "Cape Feather") and more obstacles, the game introduces dinosaur companions (known as Yoshi) that Mario and Luigi can ride. Yoshi, known for using their long tongues to snare and eat enemies, have become a fan-favorite among the series (giving them their own games and spin-offs, most notably this game's prequel).
Special bundles of the SNES in 1994 included a compilation cartridge mixing Super Mario World with Super Mario All-Stars. The only difference in this version is a new sprite set for Luigi. The original game was later ported to the Game Boy Advance on February 11, 2002 as Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2. Along with a special version of the original Mario Bros., the port includes a variety of differences, including Luigi as a selectable character (who now has unique features, such as his floating jump from Super Mario Bros. 2), new voice acting, and the ability to save anywhere. The original game was also digitally re-released in Nintendo's Virtual Console platform for the Wii (on February 5, 2007) and Wii U (on April 26, 2013).

McDonald's Treasure Land Adventure
McDonald's Treasure Land Adventure is a side-scrolling adventure starring Ronald McDonald.
After finding a piece of a treasure map, the yellow clown travels through four different levels (Forest, Town, Sea and Moon). He's off to find and defeat the baddies who have the other pieces of the map.
Ronald can jump, shoot and use his scarf to grab onto hooks to jump to higher levels.
Jewels and flowers collected in each level can be used to purchase extra lives and power-ups in shops between levels.
Lazy Jones
Lazy Jones is essentially a collection of fifteen smaller sub-games. The game takes place inside a hotel with three floors, connected by an elevator. The character is a lazy hotel employee who does not much care for his work, but prefers to sneak into the rooms to play video games instead.
Liquid Kids
Hipopo waddles through many cute levels in search of his girlfriend. He rescues other captured hippo-like animals on the way. He throws globes full of water that gushes when it hits a wall or creature. The water attack is exactly like Taito's Bubble Bobble water attack. The game is a 4-way scroller with very large levels and lots of surprises. Many of the levels have moving platforms, collapsing floors and other obstacles.
Switchblade is a computer platform game developed by Core Design and released by Gremlin Graphics in 1989.

A sequel, Switchblade II was released in 1991.
A bouncing cute-pie of a hero who is controlled by joystick as he leaps with dizzying speed across parallel rows of panels. The object: hit each panel in sequence, changing their color and finishing them off, while avoiding the nasty, bouncing Bubble Eater, or the jumping Pin, which move like greased lightning across the field.
Sushi Time
Sushi time is a unique sushi building platformer game.
Avenging Spirit
Avenging Spirit, known in Japan as Phantasm (ファンタズム), is a 1991 2-player platform arcade game developed by C.P. Brain and published by Jaleco.

The Nike Flight '13 Mid is a sneaker that's been getting more and more interesting with respect to the patterns utilized. We're used to seeing speckles on the shoes, but this time around that treatment is replaced with a funky, chicken scratch style set of lines. Aside from that the shoes stay pretty tame with a black/white base and just a little bit of tropical yellow. Continue reading for a full set of photos for this Nike Retro release and keep in mind you can grab them now from the team over at JD Sports.

Production seasons
Concerning the most recent edits about quoting HIT as saying that they're releasing the sets in production seasons, but making the article state that they're not.... why would we want to include that? If the final product doesn't match what they said, they made a mistake that's not really notable to include here. If episodes were being omitted, it might be notable, but that's not the case. —Scott (talk) 05:04, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
- The way that it's written right now is incredibly confusing. -- Danny (talk) 15:25, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
- Not to me it isn't. The public has a right to know. --MuppetVJ 15:42, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
- I revised the section. All of the information is still there, including the Muppet Newsflash reference sourcing HIT's intentions. I just tried to present the information a little more clearly.
- It's a potentially confusing thing for readers who aren't intimately familiar with the production dates and air dates -- "the third season set includes an episode produced for the fourth season, instead of an episode produced for the third season, but aired in the fourth season." It makes sense to us, but it doesn't necessarily make sense to a more casual reader.
- For that reason, I moved the section down to the bottom of the page. I think the average reader will be more interested in the episodes, the special features and the Easter eggs. The "production seasons" info is more for the hardcore fans, so I think it works better at the bottom. -- Danny (talk) 17:46, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
Season 3/4 confusion
VTR dates from the punchandjewelry.com episode guide:
- Gunge the Great and Glorious: March 5, 1985
- Sprocket's Big Adventure: October 16, 1985
- Wembley's Wonderful Whoopie Water: March 20, 1985
- Sidebottom Blues: March 13, 1985
- Uncle Matt's Discovery: October 23, 1985
If you arrange the VTR dates in chronological order, the evidence speaks for itself. Another giveaway is that all episodes in the fourth and fifth broadcast seasons aired with their episode titles displayed at the beginning, except for 402 and 403, which further supports the evidence that those two were made for the third season. (All other seasons did not have titles displayed at the beginning.) --MuppetVJ 19:57, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

Epson Home Cinema 705HD Projector Review
It's low price should make a great entry level projector for a lot of folks. (The football scrimmage shot was taken with more than a little ambient light in the room.)
Finally, it makes an excellent, low cost, crossover projector, one you can buy for business usage, and have it double as a very respectable home entertainment projector. Or, of course, the other way around – buy for home, take to work when needed! Buy one, use it for both, and take the appropriate tax write-off.
This year's Epson Home Cinema 705HD positions better than its predecessor, the 700 did last year. This is thanks to the lower cost, and the brighter image. Other improvements are there, but those two improve the value proposition compared to Epson's entry last year. Although not without competition, it's a pretty darn good entry level home entertainment projector, if you ask me.
Home Cinema 705HD Projector: Pros
- Looks very good on sports and general HDTV viewing
- Excellent warranty
- Exceptional lamp life, for low cost of operation
- Good skin tones
- Good shadow detail
- More portable than most
- Can easily double as a business projector (think Epson Powerlite W7)
- USB port can handle interfacing with various memory and flash cards for presenting directly from them, with an adapter
- Lamp door on the top, for easy access if ceiling mounting (projector inverted)
- A good match for a family room, bonus room, or even for taking outdoors at night in the summer.
- Able to handle large screen sizes thanks to lots and lots of lumens
- A great projector for the average consumer, (thoug
Home Cinema 705HD Projector: Cons
- Unimpressive black level performance, not really designed for a dedicated home theater
- One of the audibly noisier home projectors
- Dynamic iris also adds a little to the overall noise, with a soft whirring/click sound
- Limited placement flexibility (1.2:1 zoom lens, no lens shift) suitable for table top or ceiling mount, but not rear shelf mounting
- Less expensive compared to a few higher performance projectors, but not dramatically so
- Remote is not backlit
- Sports an occasional motion artifact or two when processing fast changing content, but barely visible
Home Cinema 705HD Projector: Typical Capabilities
- Placement flexibility – if compared with the DLP projectors out there (the other 3LCD projectors are all much more flexible)
- Documentation – actually pretty good, but not great

The Medical Care Cost Ratchet
March 6, 2014
Today's health insurance model drives up costs by encouraging the use of ineffective, and expensive, services, according to the authors of a study for the Cato Institute.
Despite major institutional differences between Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) countries, the rate of health care spending growth is similar.
- Since 1970, the annual growth in health care spending per capita in the United States (4.3 percent) has been more than twice the growth in gross domestic product (GDP) per capita (2 percent).
- During that same time period, OECD countries have seen per capita health care costs grow at 3.8 percent, compared to only 2.1 percent growth in GDP. Eight of these 20 countries had growth rates higher than the United States.
Because these countries are all so different, the authors believed that the reason for such massive health care cost growth must hold true across all of them. They developed the "medical care cost ratchet" (MCCR), a model in which health care spending increases as new technologies that produce only modest benefits are incorporated into the standard of care.
- Health insurance reimburses patients for use, and the conventional view as to why health care costs have grown is based in the fact that insurance drives the marginal price of care to nearly zero. Indeed, studies indicate that a population that is fully insured spends 40 percent to 50 percent more than a population with a large deductible, while gaining no measurable improvement in health status from the additional services.
- This view has been challenged by those who attribute the rising costs not to increased services but to technological advancements.
Economist and Harvard University professor Joseph Newhouse, for example, dismisses the idea that too much insurance could lead to the use of non-welfare-enhancing technological advancements, which the authors see as incorrect. The authors see technological change as having increased health care costs in many cases without improving outcomes because medical insurance discourages patients from economizing their health care decisions. Insurance today, they contend, perpetuates the MCCR, because it encourages the use of services that have increasingly diminishing returns.
Market-based approaches to health care reform would reduce spending growth and upset the MCCR by incentivizing individuals to make more economical health decisions.

The cast list for the upcoming thriller Dark Places keeps getting more and more impressive, as yet another big name actor has just been added to the mix. Read on for the latest!
Deadline reports that "Mad Men" star Christina Hendricks has signed on for a role. Hendricks will play the older Krissi Cates character in the film. Krissi has been haunted by a secret from her past that could have great implications for Charlize Theron's Libby Day character and her jailed brother, Ben (Corey Stoll). In the book, Krissi is a barely-getting-by stripper who had accused Ben decades before of being a child molester and some other very serious misdeeds.
Chloe Moretz, Nicholas Hoult and Sterling Jerins also star with Gilles Paquet-Brenner set to write direct the adaptation of the 2009 Gillian Flynn book.
Flynn's novel Dark Places was published in 2009 and was listed on the New York Times Best Seller List for more than 25 weeks. The book was also shortlisted for the Crime Writers' Association Ian Fleming Steel Dagger Award and won the Dark Scribe Magazine Black Quill Award for Dark Genre Novel of the Year.

Finger incident places Arby's reputation in jeopardy
Better to be famous for making great roast beef sandwiches than for a kid finding part of a finger in one.
But that's the unfortunate situation Arby's finds itself in after a restaurant worker's fingertip ended up in a 14-year-old Michigan teen's sandwich late last week after the employee cut her finger on the meat slicer. In a statement late Thursday, spokesman John Gray says, "We are deeply concerned and apologetic to the guest involved in this unfortunate incident. We continue to investigate the events."
After the incident, food production was shut down, and the restaurant — now open — was sanitized in cooperation with the local health department, Gray says. Arby's has been "in touch with its nationwide network of restaurants to reinforce training and safety protocols for our 66,000 employees," he says.
But some crisis experts are questioning if Arby's response has been adequate. An Arby's spokesman wouldn't say, but late Thursday, Arby's had no clear mention of the incident on its website, Facebook page or on Twitter.
"Arby's needs to get out in front of this or it could suffer serious damage to its reputation," says Lynn Kettleson, managing partner at Kettleson Group, a reputation-management firm. Among other actions suggested by crisis experts:
•Put a face out front. A senior Arby's executive with credibility needs to step forward and become the "face" of Arby's on this matter, Kettleson says.
•Explain preventive actions. Arby's needs to explain, in detail, what it's doing to make sure nothing like this happens again, says Jonathan Bernstein, president of Bernstein Crisis Management.
By Danielle Salisbury, AP
Ryan Hart found a piece of a finger in his Arby's sandwich.
•Monitor social media. Arby's should not only closely monitor all social media conversation, but become part of the conversation to knock down rumors and misinformation, Kettleson says.
•Get on YouTube. Arby's should post a YouTube video, with an apology and assurances why this won't happen again, Bernstein says.
•Measure the risks. "It's a calculated risk that this will blow over," says Gene Grabowski, executive vice president at Levick Strategic Communications. "But it's part of Arby's culture to be low key."
•Avoid Letterman syndrome. "You know you're toast if David Letterman starts making jokes," Kettleson says. "That signals you've done the wrong thing." This slogan on the Arby's Facebook page late Thursday could become just such Letterman fodder: "Good food in. Good mood out."

DUDLEY College staff are celebrating after being told by government watchdogs the campus is providing an outstanding service for its students.
Ofsted inspectors found the college provides exceptional quality that significantly exceed minimum requirements.
The four areas covered by the Social Care Inspection included outcomes for learners, quality of service, leadership, management and safeguarding, all of which were judged to have outstanding overall effectivenes.
Lowell Williams, principal at Dudley College said: "We are delighted our latest Ofsted Social Care Inspection has achieved an outstanding grade as only those providers judged to have outstanding overall effectiveness achieve this recognised quality kite-mark.
"This latest inspection builds on the college's recent Learning and Skills Inspection, published in April last year, and positions Dudley College as one of the highest performing colleges in the country."
Inspectors found students are highly motivated and display remarkably good behaviour, showing a high degree of respect to each other and all college staff and guests.
The campus itself also won praise from Ofted who said: "The Learning Quarter provides students with an impressive variety of sporting, communal and quiet study areas that promote purposeful recreational, academic and social learning."

Brits have been warned that their home insurance policies could be made invalid if they are too eager with some of their DIY projects.Sainsbury's home insurance is urging people not to undertake certain tasks unless they are following the relevant compliance procedures.These include projects such as carrying out electrical work in high-risk areas like kitchens, bathrooms and gardens, all of which require prior Building Control notification.Household insurance can also be invalidated if structural changes are undertaken without informing the insurance provider first.Sainsbury's home insurance manager Joanne Mallon advised: "Check you have good accidental damage cover and check that your insurer will cover you whilst you undertake the work, and whatever you do, make sure you use a registered electrician to carry out any major electrical works."Meanwhile, Sainsbury's recently revealed that many Brits are cutting back on their insurance policies in order to save money.Compare prices from lots of home insurance websites with our home insurance quote system.

The French won the women's version of the Davis Cup 4-1, getting a clinching victory from Amelie Mauresmo to win the title a second time.
"I was just happy for the team that we didn't get shut out," Navratilova said.
Mauresmo routed Meghann Shaughnessy 6-2, 6-1 to put France ahead 3-0 in the best-of-five series.
"I really wanted to bring that third point to the team, and that's what I did," Mauresmo said.
France's Emilie Loit then downed Alexandra Stevenson 6-4, 6-2 in a match between substitutes. The U.S. team, captained by Billie Jean King, salvaged a doubles victory to avoid a sweep.
Navratilova, 47, extended her Fed Cup record to 39-0, teaming with Lisa Raymond to beat Loit and Stephanie Cohen-Aloro 6-4, 6-0.
"It's bad enough losing ... so I just wanted to hold it up with Lisa for the rest of the team," Navratilova said.
Mauresmo, undefeated in Fed Cup play this season, ended American hopes for an 18th title.
The U.S. team was without its top players for the semifinals and finals. Serena and Venus Williams were sidelined by injuries and Lindsay Davenport was recovering from surgery.
France, which won its only other Fed Cup in 1997, went into the final day at Olympic Stadium ahead 2-0. On Saturday, Mauresmo defeated Raymond, and Mary Pierce struggled past Shaughnessy.
"This year, everything was perfect," Mauresmo said.
Mauresmo, a finalist in the season-ending WTA Championships, dropped only one set in her eight Fed Cup matches this season. She led France's semifinal win over Russia with two singles victories.
France had lost to the United States in the 10 previous Fed Cup encounters. The United States has won 17 Fed Cup titles in 26 appearances.
The French beat the Netherlands in their only previous trip to the finals six years ago. Pierce was the only member from that team to play this year.
No team has come back from a 2-0 deficit in the finals. The United States had hoped to win both singles Sunday, leaving the title up to Raymond and Navratilova.
This marked the first time a team featuring Navratilova lost a Fed Cup series. Navratilova has not lost in the Fed Cup since she first played in the event for her native Czechoslovakia in 1975.
Navratilova is ready to return for the 2004 Fed Cup in April when the United States opens at Slovenia — if she is invited by King.
She also hopes to team with Raymond at next year's Athens Olympics. The two won their doubles match Thursday in a 4-1 semifinal victory over Belgium.
"It's going great," Navratilova said. "I can't wait for next year."

Help for our Prayerlessness – by Sam Storms
Part of the reason for my blog holiday has been, hopefully, to fit more time for prayer into my schedule which, even without blogging, remains tightly packed. As usual, I have not found that as easy as I would like—although I am praying more than I normally do.
