Veteran's Day [Full Story from the October 2011 Issue]
Another thing that has contributed to the lengthening of many artists' careers is the European tour circuit. (This is even more important, of course, at a time when revenues from record sales have been drying up.) "One thing that I learned about hip-hop, when I went overseas," says Tech N9ne, "I saw Run-DMC, Slick Rick and EPMD selling out concerts. They still getting money. That was beautiful." At his own shows—at one in Canada, for example—he saw parents holding up an excited four-year-old who sported venue-appropriate earplugs and a Tech N9ne shirt. "I was like, They gonna be Tech N9ne fans forever," Tech says. "People been speaking about Tech N9ne for years—back when they were saying, 'Aw, that's that devil-worship shit,' you know what I mean?… So now all the people [who] didn't know can go listen and catch up."
Raekwon says the same, and he credits continental audiences for developing educated hip-hop tastes that keep the latest trends in perspective. "Definitely, the old U.K. is always exciting for me," he says. "I always said, back in the day, that the U.K. appreciates real hip-hop and true artistry more than we do. They don't look at you like, 'Yo, you yesterday's artist.' They look at you like, 'Yo, we got some younger guys that we put on, and they know about you already.' Then you become this leader."
Tech N9ne recalls how, years ago, when he would first tour towns overseas, a bad night might net only seven ticket buyers. (He stresses that, even when that was the case, he always gave each and every show 100 percent.) Today? "Hip-hop is everywhere, man. I swear."
There are realities to face with growing older in rap, of course. Going from the hot burn of early stardom to a more temperate but often longer-lasting, midrange level means artists need to develop new attitudes and strategies to match their changing demographics. Radio play, for example, tends to diminish. If you've gotten used to hearing your voice coming out of the speakers at Foot Locker every time you go to the mall, it can be hard to deal with when that stops. It's something to accept.
"If I'm not on the radio today," Raekwon says, "hey, I have proved that I have been there and conquered that atmosphere already." But he makes it clear that he's conscious of how such a quote might sound to an outside observer: the rationalization of an old-timer. "I'm not saying that radio hasn't been good for me. But it's not always about being on the radio."
In the decade between 1999's Immobilarity and Only Built 4 Cuban Linx… Pt. II, Rae says he thrived on being counted out. "I want people to not like me. I want people to not all the way believe me. Because if it wasn't for that, I would be the most cockiest bitch you probably ever seen in your life. And that's not me. I'm used to the turbulence. I'm used to being underwater and not being accepted… I think having these certain blessings behind me keeps me moving forward."
Maybe you think that's just a justification made for public consumption—and that any artist would prefer to stay on the airwaves forever, if only they had sufficient corporate support to make it happen. But you'll hear a different tale from E-40, who spent a healthy chunk of the past decade doing pretty well for himself on airwaves, alongside Lil Jon, during crunk's heyday, with promotional backing from the Warner/Reprise behemoth.
Today, 40 professes himself honestly happier on his own, working on a smaller scale, with his Revenue Retrievin' series, for instance, which he puts out on his own label, Heavy on the Grind Entertainment, with distribution through EMI. (Regardless of the economic scale, he certainly sounds invigorated creatively. This year's Graveyard Shift album, in particular, is as focused an artistic statement as he's ever made. And he's fully embracing his age and his status with his plans to make a joint album with fellow Bay Area graybeard Too $hort, forthrightly titled The History Channel.) Speaking about his former major label, he notes with some pride that "there ain't been a rap album they've dropped" since his 2006 My Ghetto Report Card that has done as well for them.
Despite this, he can still remember how a clutch of his hardcore fans didn't like the direction those sales inspired him to take directly afterward. "A lot of it had to do with Warner, and a lot had to do with Lil Jon and his team, as well as me having a fan base that was gonna go snatch at least 200,000 albums, regardless of what kind of song I had out," he remembers. "And we went in, man. But the next album, [Warner Bros.] was seeking for another single, so I did something different: a song with my man Akon ['Wake It Up']. It was a song that was like a Top 40 song. And it coulda gone farther if my fan base accepted it."
He pauses, a rarity for the quick-tongued smooth talker. "Some accepted it, but—I'm keeping it 1,000 with you, I'm keeping it really real with you—that's not the kind of song that my fan base wanted me to be doing. I understand, because they come up off of Mr. Flamboyant, shit like that."
It's a difficult thing, finding that balance between expanding your audience and consolidating the affections of the early admirers who won't desert you at the first sign of trouble. So it's not a huge surprise that it's taken decades for hip-hop to establish the global infrastructure that makes this possible. But those MCs who've hustled their way into a third, or even fourth, decade of rapping know that this is not only a blessing but a constant source of surprise. Busta Rhymes, Ghostface Killah, De La Soul, Method Man, Redman and ?uestlove are all over 40 years old and still relevant, while Black Thought, Snoop Dogg, Common and Eminem are just one or two years away from the big 4-0. Whether it's a state senator reading lyrics into the official record or a rapper discovering an enthusiastic clutch of lyrics-reciting fans in a mosh pit he barely knows how to describe, the rapper succeeding after the age of 40 takes his ease, and a measure of comfort, from the realization that he doesn't have to sell out his game to survive. And damn if that reality doesn't feel like its own kind of throne.

As 2013 came to a close and we are inspired to do better this year, let's not forget our gardens. This is a wonderful time to pause, reflect and plan.
Stop and consider: Is your garden meeting your needs or are there fundamental changes you want to tackle this year?
Are you using resources wisely and is your garden helping to feed your family better?
Many of us put hours of wonderful, healthy work into our gardens. Hopefully your garden doesn't cost too much to maintain and provides more than one payback, such as beauty, great food and wildlife habitat.
Gardens do not need to be static water guzzlers that only have curb appeal. They can provide much more.
Edible plants can be scattered about if you don't have deer and gardens can help cool our homes in summer and protect from cold winds in winter, if planted carefully.
Gardening helps us reap rewards of being in tune with nature that we are part of ourselves. That connection has been shown to actually improve mental and physical health. And don't forget that when gardens create useful wildlife habitat, we also benefit from the birds and butterflies that come and share our yards; what better place to enjoy bird watching than from the comfort of our breakfast table.
This year, let's strive to create gardens that are not only beautiful but also healthy, wildlife-friendly, people-friendly and resource-conserving.
Some potential 2014 gardening resolutions may include changing up your vegetable garden by rotating crops, to help to both thwart insect pests and prevent depletion of specific nutrients.
Also, try getting to know three new veggies that you've never tried such as Jerusalem artichokes, kohlrabi and curly leaf kale.
Consider shifting the main focus of your garden from warm season (summer) to cool season (winter) vegetables, primarily using rain to grow your food, at a great reduction of cost and work to you. Rain infiltrates most row covers that may be needed for frost protection.
Create a garden notebook and use it. Sketch a scaled template map of your yard that can be copied, and keep track annually or seasonally of new plants, any plants that die and why, where various veggies were planted, what your pruning strategies and timing were and what yields/successes/problems you had.
Test your soil — stop delaying and just do it. Talk to a local nursery or call the Master Gardener office to find out how to take your sample and where to have it analyzed. There is a fee but it's helpful to know what specific deficiencies your soil might have. Soil tests help save money and work in the long run by allowing you to choose plants matched to your site and to manage your garden efficiently.
Resolve to use your harvest this year. We often start in spring with enthusiasm and energy, doggedly care for veggies throughout summer and then lose interest by fall just as crops explode.
Stay in touch with your garden year-round and use all that wonderful bounty. Also, start a compost pile. Even a simple stack in an out-of-the-way place will eventually decompose and give you compost. If you add about half green material (spent veggies) with brown material (dead leaves and straw), all mixed up or even layered, the result is a wonderful supply of life-giving compost in six months to a year.
Support your local nursery. There are several wonderful small nurseries with regionally-grown plants and staff knowledgeable about our county regional conditions. Avail yourself of their healthy plants and relevant advice.
We, the Master Gardeners, wish you and yours a bountiful, healthy, soul-nourishing garden for 2014.
Master Gardeners are available to answer home gardening questions Tuesday through Friday from 9 a.m. to noon by calling (530) 621-5512. Walk-ins are welcome at the office located at 311 Fair Lane in Placerville. Note the office will be closed for the holidays through Jan. 7.

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) — Opponents of Florida's "stand your ground" self-defense law say the Trayvon Martin shooting is one example of the law's ambiguity and shows the potential for unintended consequences.
Buddy Jacobs, general counsel for the Florida Prosecuting Attorneys Association, told a task force examining the law that it needs to be repealed.
The 2005 law is under nationwide scrutiny following the Feb. 26 shooting in Sanford of the unarmed, 17-year-old Martin by neighborhood watch volunteer George Zimmerman. Martin's family and supporters want Zimmerman arrested, but police say they were prevented from doing so because of the law. At least 20 other states have similar stand your ground laws.
The task force includes prosecutors, defense attorneys, police executives and politicians.

July 2010
PREAMBLE: This section outlines the considerations, legal and ethical, that need to be taken into account in any research that involves human subjects. It was original to the 1979 Handbook and was revised in July of 1995, and again in July 2003, to reflect changes in applicable federal law. In 2009 the Human Assurances Committee (HAC) was renamed to Institutional Review Board (IRB). In February of 2010 it has been rewritten in accordance with federal law and University policies. For further information, contact the Research Office (208-885-6651). [rev. 7-03, 1-09, 7-10]
A. General Policy, Legal Authority and Ethical Principles
C. Scope of Responsibility and Authority
E. Organization and Membership of the IRB
F. IRB Standard Operating Procedures
A-1. GENERAL POLICY. The University of Idaho, in the course of carrying out its teaching, research, and service missions, engages in human subject or participant research across a wide array of academic disciplines [and administrative functions]. Recognizing that engaging in research involving human participants imposes responsibility for safeguarding the rights and welfare of these persons, the University of Idaho (University) is committed to the protection of human research participants through compliance with applicable federal and state regulations and observance of ethical principles for the conduct of human research, (that are recognized and adopted by the University through its federal-wide assurance). This policy governs all human participant research performed under the auspices of the University.
A-2. LEGAL AUTHORITY. All research subject to this policy shall be conducted in accordance with federal, state, and local law. In fulfilling its commitment to protect the rights and welfare of human research participants, the University applies the regulations promulgated by the United States Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) for Protection of Human Subjects (45 C.F.R. 46). Under the approved federal-wide assurance (FWA00005639) provided by the University to HHS, all human participant research, regardless of funding source, and the oversight of such research shall be performed in a manner that complies with the regulations set forth by HHS at 45 C.F.R. 46. The University also complies with human participant research regulations established by the Food and Drug Administration for clinical investigations involving drugs, biologics, medical devices, and other test articles. (21 C.F.R. 50; 56; 312, and 812). The University acts in conformance with other federal laws and regulations germane to human participant research and with state and local law that serves to elucidate and supplement federal regulations for human subject research.
A-3. ETHICAL PRINCIPLES. Consistent with its federal-wide assurance, the University shall be guided by the ethical principles governing the evaluation and conduct of research involving human participants, whether or not such research is subject to federal regulation, set forth in The Belmont Report: Ethical Principles and Guidelines for the Protection of Human Subjects of Research of the National Commission for the Protection of Human Subjects of Biomedical and Behavioral Research at the www.hhs.gov website. While the principles announced in The Belmont Report serve to guide human participant research at the University, these principles are never held to or construed so as to supersede any local, state, or federal law or to supersede any regulations or policies promulgated by federal agencies.
B-1. HUMAN PARTICIPANT RESEARCH ACTIVITIES. Irrespective of funding source, all activities that meet the criteria for: (i) "research" involving "human subjects," as defined in HHS regulations (45 CFR 46.102), or (ii) a "clinical investigation" involving "human subjects" or "subjects," as defined in FDA regulations (21 CFR 50.3; 21 CFR 56.103; 21 CFR 312.3; 21 CFR 812.3), shall be subject to this policy.
a. HHS Definition of "Research" Involving "Human Subjects:"
(1) "research:" a systematic investigation, including research development, testing, and evaluation, designed to develop or contribute to generalizable knowledge. [45 CFR 46.102(d)]. This includes qualitative research methods such as constructivist, participatory and action research that may not be considered generalizable. It also includes other methodologies that may not be considered generalizable but have the intent of adding to a body of knowledge.
Note: Certain activities by policy do not fall under the definition of research and are not subject to IRB review and approval. For example projects carried out as part of coursework with the sole intent of teaching students research skills may be covered under the Course-Related Research Practica policy. Projects carried out as part of a University Quality Improvement or Quality Assurance project may be covered under the policy for such activities.
(2) "human subject:" a living individual about whom an investigator (whether professional or student) conducting research obtains (i) data through intervention or interaction, or (ii) identifiable private information [45 CFR 46.102(f)].
(i) "Intervention" includes both physical procedures by which data are gathered (for example, venipuncture) and manipulations of the subject or the subject's environment that are performed for research purposes.
(ii) "Interaction" includes communication or interpersonal contact between investigator and subject.
(iii) "Private information" includes information about behavior that occurs in a context in which an individual can reasonably expect that no observation or recording is taking place, and information which has been provided for specific purposes by an individual and which the individual can reasonably expect will not be made public (for example, a medical record). Private information must be individually identifiable (i.e., the identity of the subject is or may readily be ascertained by the investigator or associated with the information) in order for obtaining the information to constitute research involving human subjects.
b. FDA Definition of "Clinical Investigation" Involving "Human Subjects" or "Subjects:"
(1) "clinical investigation" (deemed by the FDA to be synonymous with "research"): any experiment that involves a test article and one or more human subjects, and that either must meet the requirements for prior submission to the FDA under section 505(i) or 520(g) of the act, or need not meet the requirements for prior submission to the Food and Drug Administration under these sections of the act, but the results of which are intended to be later submitted to, or held for inspection by, the FDA as part of an application for a research or marketing permit. [21 CFR 50.3(c); 21 CFR 102(c); 21 CFR 312.3(b); and 21 CFR 812(h)].
(i) "Test article" is defined as any drug (including a biological product for human use), medical device for human use, human food additive, color additive, electronic product, or any other article subject to FDA regulation. [21 CFR 50.3(j) and 56.102(l)].
(2) "human subject" or "subject:" an individual who becomes a participant in research, either as a recipient of a test article or as a control. [21 CFR 50.3(g) and 56.102(e)]; a human who participates in an investigation, either as a recipient of the investigational new drug or as a control. [21 CFR 312.3(b)]; or a human who participates in an investigation, either as an individual on whom or on whose specimen an investigational device is used or as a control. (21 CFR 812.3).
B-2. EXEMPT HUMAN PARTICIPANT RESEARCH. Activities that meet the criteria for "human subject research" described above may nevertheless be exempted from compliance with federal human participant regulations, if the only involvement of human participants will be in one or more prescribed categories. For a list of "exempt" research categories see, [45 CFR 46.101(b)]. The IRB, or designee of the IRB, shall make the determination as to whether a particular research activity involving human participants is exempt. Even when research is determined by the IRB to be exempt, the ethical principles of The Belmont Report shall be applied by the investigator to the research activities.
a. The IRB is the principle mechanism by which the University ensures that all human participant research activity is planned and conducted in a manner consistent with applicable law and policy and that the rights and welfare of human research participants are adequately protected.
b. The responsibilities of the IRB include but are not limited to:
(1) reviewing, approving, requesting modifications, as well as disapproving human subject/participant research, [45 CFR 46.109(a)];
(i) research that has been approved by the IRB may be subject to further review and approval or disapproval by University officials. University officials may not approve research that has not been approved by the IRB (45 CFR 112);
(2) conducting continuing review of research approved by the IRB, at intervals not less than once per year, including as necessary observing, or having a third party observe, the consent process and research activity; or requesting and inspecting information related to human participant research activity [45 CFR 46.109(e)];
(3) investigating instances of non-compliance, whether discovered during monitoring by the IRB or reported to the IRB, including unanticipated problems involving risks to research participants or others and serious or continuing noncompliance with this policy or the requirements or determinations of the IRB;
(4) suspending or terminating approval of research activity that is not being conducted in accordance with the requirements established by the IRB for a particular research activity or has been associated with serious harm to research participants or that is not otherwise in accordance with federal human subject research regulations or University policy (45 CFR 46.113);
(5) reporting to appropriate University and federal government officials:
(i) unanticipated problems involving risks to research participants or others and serious or continuing noncompliance; and
(ii) suspension or termination of IRB Approval [45 CFR 46.103(b)(5)];
(6) developing and implementing administrative policies and procedures to implement this policy.
C-2. Signatory Official. The Signatory Official is the VP of Research and Economic Development or designee. This individual cannot be a voting member of the IRB and shall have the legal authority to represent the University in providing assurance to the federal government that the University will comply with federal human subject research regulations and shall be responsible for ensuring that all regulatory and programmatic requirements for the conduct of human participant research at the University are met. [45 CFR 46.103(b)(2)(c)].
C-3. Office of Research Assurances. The Office of Research Assurances shall provide administrative support necessary for the IRB to fulfill its duties. [45 CFR 46.103(b)(2)].
C-4. UNIVERSITY INVESTIGATORS (FACULTY, STUDENTS, AND STAFF). Any person who engages in human participant research (See B. Covered Activities, above) under the auspices of the University (including faculty, students, and staff) shall comply with applicable federal, state, and local law, with University policy, and with the requirements of the IRB.
D. ORGANIZATION AND MEMBERSHIP OF THE IRB. The IRB shall be organized and its membership determined in accordance with federal regulations and University policy (45 CFR 46.107, 21 CFR 56.107, and FSH 1640.54).
E-1. The IRB shall conduct initial and continuing review of human participant research activity, following established procedures appropriate to the degree of risk involved in the research. IRB review of research shall be prospective, and no human participant research activity may be carried out by an investigator without prior approval from the IRB. The IRB shall not provide retrospective approval of human participant research.
E-2. The IRB, or its designee, shall review all research that meets the regulatory definition for human subject research but may be eligible for exemption from further review and oversight (see B. Covered Activities above). The IRB shall make the final determination as to whether a particular research activity involving human participants is exempt. For activities determined to be exempt, the IRB shall provide the investigator with a certification of exemption from continuing IRB oversight.
E-3. The IRB, or its designee, shall provide guidance to investigators as to what activities do not constitute human subject research and, therefore, do not require IRB oversight. The IRB shall provide, as necessary, certification to investigators that research activity is not human subject research.
F. UNIVERSITY OF IDAHO IRB STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURES. The administrative policies, guidelines, and procedures developed to implement this policy shall be set forth in the University of Idaho IRB Standard Operating Procedures, which shall be maintained and made available to investigators by the Office of Research Assurances. The University of Idaho IRB Standard Operating Procedures shall be reviewed and approved by the Signatory Official or designee in consultation with the IRB.
G. CONTACT INFORMATION. For further information regarding implementation of this policy you may contact the Office of Research Assurances or visit the IRB website.

A Japanese cabinet member visited a shrine seen by critics as a symbol of Tokyo's wartime aggression on Wednesday, pouring salt on a fresh wound after Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's pilgrimage there last week drew sharp criticism from China and South Korea.
Internal Affairs Minister Yoshitaka Shindo said he thought his visit to the Yasukuni Shrine was unlikely to become a diplomatic issue, Kyodo news agency reported.
Beijing and Seoul have repeatedly expressed anger over politicians' visits to Yasukuni, where Japanese leaders convicted as war criminals by an Allied tribunal after World War Two are honoured along with those who died in battle.
Both China and Korea suffered under Japanese rule, with parts of China occupied from the 1930s and Korea colonised from 1910 to 1945. Japanese leaders have apologised in the past but many in China and South Korea doubt the sincerity of the apologies, partly because of contradictory remarks by politicians.
Underscoring the deteriorating ties between Asia's two biggest economies, China said its leaders would not meet Abe after he visited Yasukuni on Thursday, the first visit by a serving Japanese prime minister since 2006.
A commentary in China's ruling Communist Party's top newspaper called Abe's actions a threat to peace in the region.
"Abe paying homage at the Yasukuni Shrine is an offensive, open provocation, and announces to the world his old imperial dreams. The international community must strike back strongly and be on guard for the ashes of Japan's militarism to reignite," the paper said.
Ties between Japan and China were already precarious due to a simmering row over ownership of a group of uninhabited islands in the East China Sea.
China has said it is willing to talk to Japan about the issue, but has accused Abe of not being serious about wanting to resolve the dispute.
Abe, a staunch conservative, has called for dialogue with China since returning to power a year ago, but Beijing had shown no inclination to respond to those overtures even before the latest Yasukuni controversy.
Experts see his visit as an attempt to recast Japan's wartime past in a less apologetic light and revive national pride.

Absent any better ideas, if there aren't any photos on the reverse
side, why not just trim around the photos. My own opinion is that
the old photos aren't worth a damn to me. It's the people that are
in the picture. I scan the photos into Photoshop and see how much I
can improve the photo. Some just can't be saved or improved and you
have to live with it but others can be resurrected from the
death. One of the easiest I've ever done was to put some light into
photos that were taken almost in the dark, making some of the people
almost impossible to recognize. 5 seconds later there was no doubt.

 Subject: [Noisebridge-discuss] Buying lockers for Noisebridge.

 This is something that we've floated around before, but I wanted to
bring it up again in light of the thefts around Noisebridge. I'd like
to buy some metal lockers for Noisebridge so that people can lock up
 their things (like the member shelves, but more secure). The cost is
significant (a bay of metal lockers costs at least $500 and more), but
I'll front the money for this. I'll recoup the cost by charging
 something small like $5 a month to members, and after I get the cost
of the lockers back we could start putting this money to Noisebridge
for revenue. The number of lockers would probably be lower than
demand, so preference would have to go to members over nonmembers (or
 charging nonmembers a higher rate).

It would also need somewhat regular enforcement to make sure people
aren't using the lockers without paying their fair share, but that can
be handled by just posting notices and eventually cutting off the
locks. The lockers could go near the member shelves, we have plenty of
space for them.

What do people think? Are people up for lending money for buying lockers?

San Francisco: Hands off Syria!
People gathered here on an unusually hot day to rally and march in opposition to US plans to stage military attacks on Syria.
The rally began at noon at Justin Hermann Plaza at the foot of downtown's Market Street—renamed Chelsea Manning Plaza for the day's events.
The day's actions were in solidarity with a concurrent Mass Protest at the Capitol in DC called by an ad hoc group, Vote No Against War On Syria Coalition.
As people baked in the sun while the heat continues to be turned up by Obama, Kerry and company to send the nation to war in the Middle East again, a number of speakers at Chelsea Manning Plaza pointed out the insanity of this plan.
A representative from Veterans For Peace asserted, "They say they'll be no boots on the ground, but we have thousands of US Navy personnel on ships in harm's way right now. If war breaks out, they'll be sitting ducks."
Tariq, a Syrian activist, has been working for Assad's fall since protests started during the Arab Spring of 2011.
"We don't need US intervention," he said. "That would cause more destruction and death.
"San Francisco is six times larger than Damascus" (Syria's capital), he reported. "But while San Francisco's population is 800,000, Damascus's is 1.7 million." Imagine what missiles raining down on Damascus would do.
"The Assad regime has to fall," Tariq asserted. "But not by US intervention."
Algo, representing Californian Filipino World War II veterans, told us that they had met earlier and decided to come to Senator Diane Feinstein's office in San Francisco on Tuesday at 10 a.m. to tell Feinstein to vote no on the legislation to authorize the use of military force against Syria.
"The Filipino vets were never recognized by the US as legitimate vets. They joined in World War II because, even though we were occupied by the US Empire, we were invaded by another empire, Japan. It was a defensive war for us. But the US war against Syria would be offensive, not defensive."
Veteran Bay Area activist Gloria LaRiva said, "Millions of US citizens are shocked by Obama leading the way for war. But when he was running for reelection in 2008 he spoke in defense of Israel. He was vetted to be president by the Democrats in support of giant firms who benefit from the tasks of war.
"Our real political action is to be in the streets every day."
LaRiva called for people to come to Feinstein's SF office at 1 Post Street at 5 p.m. on Wednesday to deliver this message: "We will remember you for the war criminal you are."
Musician Francis Collins appeared on stage a while later to deliver a stirring rendition of Jackson Browne's song "Lives in the Balance. It begins:
I've been waiting for something to happen
For a week or a month or a year
With the blood of the ink of the headlines
And the sound of the crowd in my ear
You might ask what it takes to remember
When you know that you've seen it before
Where a government lies to a people
And a country is drifting to war
At 1:15 people poured out of the plaza and the shade where they'd sought shelter from the heat, realizing there was no escape from it today.
The leading chant was US/NATO, HANDS OFF SYRIA.
Voices were raised in the name of peace and justice, turning shoppers heads and softening some hard faces in the Tenderloin, where they have their own battles to fight every day.
Banners and signs read, NO New War in Syria; Queers Say No US Attacks on Syria; Stop Breeding Terrorists; Obama Lies. People Die. Give Back the Peace Prize; Even If Congress Says It's Legal, It's Still Wrong To Attack Syria; and Drop Food, Not Bombs
One person toted a mock coffin with a sign attached reading "Your Soldier Here," and the Grim Reaper made an appearance as well.
The march arrived at UN Plaza near the Civic Center at 2 p.m.
Some people went off a little later to occupy Nancy Pelosi's house in Pacific Heights.
The action was organized by the ANSWER Coalition. The coalition is calling for people to gather at Market and Powell at 5 p.m. should the US attack Syria.
INTEROCCUPY.net has documented 264 rallies and direct actions around the world opposing the proposed US attack on Syria, not counting today's actions, since August 29.

Mayhem # 2638034
About MeI work in the film industry in the Detroit area. I do both extra work, and work behind the scenes as a Production Assistant. As you can imagine, I always need current professional pictures. I am always looking to shoot. Unfortunately, I am no longer accepting TF. In that case, I will be willing to travel anywhere. You can message me on here, and we can discuss rates.
If we are shooting for the first time, I will have to bring an escort for safety reasons. I will NOT do nudes, or implied nudity. It is not my style, and I do not believe in it. I don't find it attractive at all to show anything. Swimsuits = fine. I will do a swimsuit shoot. I just don't show any goodies.
I have appeared on tv before as a featured extra on movies/tv shows and music videos such as:
S.W.A.T.: Firefight
The Wannabe's
HIGH School
Have a Little Faith
A Very Harold & Kumar Christmas 3D
"Party" Beyonce ft. J Cole
"Out of My Mind" B.O.B. ft. Nicki Minaj
"C'mon Let Me Ride" Skylar Grey ft. Eminem
"Moving Forward" Drawn To Fury
more to come...
I have done extra work on several other films and videos, but did not make the final cut. I do it for fun, and because it is my career. I know how to act in a professional manner while on a set. I am always thankful for every opportunity that comes my way, and I am always respectful to everyone else involved.
Fitness shoot
A shoot with a tarantula
A shoot with a snake
A shoot with some GUNS!
An old fashion shoot
A 1960s album cover shoot
Skyline backdrop shoot (Detroit)
*I feel that these photo shoots would really reflect my personality. Now you can only imagine what kind of person I am.
I am also interested in becoming a photographer myself. If you're willing to show me a thing or two.. hit me up!

Gardena resident Scott Kjos and two others recently started a nonprofit to help combat the world's clean water crisis.
But they don't want money. They want shoes.
"Old shoes, new shoes, worthless shoes, heals, pumps, slippers," he said. "Bring everything and anything, except socks. We don't want socks."
His organization, Soles for Life, will collect donated shoes Saturday at the Pacifica Open Air Market in Gardena. The shoes - he hopes to collect enough to fill a semitrailer - will be donated to another nonprofit, Edge Outreach, which sells them by weight to an exporter.
The exporter resells the shoes to vendors in developing countries, who sell them to people at a low cost. Edge Outreach then uses money from the exporter to buy inexpensive water purification systems, which produce 10,000 gallons of clean water per day in places where it's needed most.
Thousands of people die each year in developing countries due to dehydration and disease spread through unclean water, Edge said.
The water systems, which clean well water, are made using a 12-volt battery, salt and a purification pump. The cost is extremely low, those involved say.
"It's really a win-win-win for everybody," Kjos said. "If there ever was a good thing to do, this is it."
None of the donated shoes will wind up in landfills, he said - everything is used, even old shoes that can't be worn.
He and others are hoping to collect up to 10,000 shoes at Saturday's event, enough to eventually fill a semitrailer that holds 25,000 shoes.
Several churches also are involved in the effort, including Journey of Faith Church in Manhattan Beach, along with the Easter Seals and a handful of local businesses.
How to help
Drop off new and used shoes from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday at the Pacifica Open Air Market, 16304 Vermont Ave., Gardena. For information, visit www.solesforlife.com or call 424-244-0232.

There has been a series of extreme weather incidents. That is not a political statement, that is a factual statement," Andrew Cuomo, Governor of New York, said (on Tuesday after Hurricane Sandy brought the East Coast to its knees.) , "Anyone who says there has not been a dramatic change in weather patterns, I think is denying reality."
"Up With Chris Hayes" host, Chris Hayes, acknowledged this morning (11-3) that "Sandy" was a freak storm, a bad luck confluence of low-probability events that conceivably could have happened in an alternate climate that was not warming. But this climate, our climate, is warming; and, as it does, low probability events like Sandy will become more probable and more intense.
"Carbon emissions are trapping extra energy in our atmosphere and with extra energy come more extremes: higher sea levels, dryer droughts, hotter heat waves and heavier, wetter storms."
Chris goes on to say that we need a crash program now to put in place infrastructure to deal with the current dangers already surrounding us; and a serious national program to shift away from the carbon-producing sources of energy which will threaten our future. The carbon polluting entities will continue to pollute our environment, but, more seriously, will pollute our political process with newly enriched, heavily lobbied politicians.
You may think you are hearing a modern-day "Chicken Little" hollering about a falling sky. The politicians who work for the oil and coal producing concerns will try to placate. You may laugh at the need to "lower the level of our oceans", to harness the energy of the wind. You may ignore the melting of the northern ice-cap. But behind the chant of the "all is well", a chorus of scientists and serious thinkers are sounding an alarm. How many more extreme weather events must happen before we listen?

Advanced Beginner's Chess Guide, Introduction:
Part of the Advanced Beginner's Chess Guide (Section 1)
If you were a regular visitor to Chess-Game-Strategies.com, between March and November 2011, you'll have been left in awe by the sheer amount of, um, nothing added to the website, in that time ...
The last thing I did of any significance was to get the Chess Openings Analyzer (COA) created. This was way back in March 2011. At that point, I was all set to attempt to use it to see if I could use the analysis feedback, based on Yasser Seirawan's principles, to narrow down a series of Openings and Defence Openings that I could focus on, to get my army through to the Middlegame phase, whether I controlled Black's or White's troops.
I'd just completed working my way through Yasser Seirawan's "Winning Chess Openings" book using the Analyzer to look at the many hundred opening sequences (which I've made available from ChessXpress), when I received feedback about the COA software, from an exceptional chap (Ken Wilsdon) over in Canada, who's gone on to become, what I can only describe, as my mentor.
Here, you can read Ken's first email, which was the catalyst for all that's followed since. This is important as it gives you some background info, for what you'll get to read as I build out the Advanced Beginner's Chess Guide.
It was during that email that I first became aware of Point Count Chess, by Israel Albert Horowitz and Geoffrey Mott-Smith (or H&M-S, as I refer to them, for short).
Here's a quick review of Point Count Chess, and why I've used it as the basis of the Advanced Beginner's Chess Guide.

Hi Diann,
Just a quick note to let you know my opinion on this list---not that it
counts for anything. As you say, we are family. What happens now is
of concern to us all---it's not just what happened in the past. Gail,
and her whole family, has had quite a time of it. She has a strong
faith that helps her stay strong. We all need to know that we can
count on each other in these times as well as exchanging information
about ancestors. Family research is about the present family as well
as the past.
I like your idea of leaving the list open for exchanges as they occur.
The old way of needing to keep writing and writing is not possible
sometimes---we are living what will become history one day. I'm hoping
that as a family we can write when we have time and energy to explore
our pasts or ask for support when we need it.
Thanks Diann for hanging in there with us. We may not be a large
number of researchers right now, but that's okay. Hope this note makes
sense. I'm not very good at expressing what I'm trying to get across.
I want you to know that I'm here, and I support you in keeping the list
as it is. I also hope it's not taking too much of your time.

Marc Anthony must be really upset at Jennifer Lopez for wanting to divorce him because of his serial cheating. Well, because she found someone so fast is probably more of the reason. I'm pretty sure Marc thought of himself as indispensable and that every woman should be grateful to be married to his 75 pound chain smoking self.
Turns out that is not the case and now, according to Radar, Marc has his lawyer talking to Ojani Noa, who of course was married to Jennifer a few husbands ago, and has been a pain in her butt ever since. If there are secrets, Ojani will know them. Marc seems to think Jennifer has money hidden offshore. Considering she let Marc pay for everything while pleading poverty during their marriage, I'm sure she has money stashed in a lot of places that he doesn't know about. If he had known about it, he would have just spent it all.
The nastier the fight, the better for the gossip, but bad for the kids.

* Notice comes one day after CP shelves DM&E extension * CP acquired DM&E for C$1.48 bln under previous CEO * CP will lay out turnaround plan in New York * Shares up 2 pct By Susan Taylor TORONTO, Dec 4 (Reuters) - Canadian Pacific Railway said on Tuesday it was exploring options and partnerships for the western part of its Dakota, Minnesota & Eastern Railroad, in a further retreat from the costly 2007 acquisition. Canada's second-biggest rail carrier, which will lay out a corporate turnaround plan to investors in New York this week, made the announcement one day after it shelved plans to extend the DM&E into the Powder River Basin coal-mining region. CP acquired the railroad for C$1.48 billion ($1.49 billion), gaining access to lucrative markets, notably ethanol. Analysts had viewed it as a costly deal and were not surprised at the abandonment of an expansion plan estimated to cost C$5 billion. CP said on Tuesday that the western section of DM&E track, a 660-mile portion from Tracy, Minnesota, west into South Dakota, Nebraska and Wyoming, would appeal to a low-cost operator interested in the area's grain, ethanol, clay and merchandise customers. "This portion of the CP network would be an attractive and highly viable opportunity for a low-cost operator," Chief Executive Hunter Harrison said in a statement. "CP has successfully built many partnerships with shortline and Class 1 railroads throughout its system." CP, which could not immediately give details on previous partnerships, said it will continue to serve customers along the line as it evaluates proposals. "We have undertaken similar reviews on other portions of our network in the past that have resulted in positive outcomes for shippers, employees and operators," Harrison said. CP, the No. 2 Canadian rail carrier behind Canadian National Railway Co, said on Monday it will take a C$180 million charge to abandon an option to build a 260-mile extension of the line into the coal region of northeastern Wyoming and southwestern Montana. It blamed slumping U.S. demand for thermal coal. Harrison, the hand-picked choice of CP's biggest shareholder, William Ackman's Pershing Square Capital Management, was appointed after a bruising proxy battle earlier this year that unseated the former CEO and chairman. Under a mission to improve efficiency, Harrison is expected to announce cutting 5 percent to 10 percent of staff, closing rail classification hump yards, reducing the fleet of rail cars, and moving the company's headquarters in Calgary, Alberta. Shares of CP added C$1.90 to C$93.25 on the Toronto Stock Exchange on Tuesday. The stock has climbed about 23 percent since Harrison was appointed CEO in late June.

As more enthusiasts discover that they really don't need seven or eight slots in a standard ATX motherboard, the popularity of Micro ATX and Mini ITX rigs is exploding. Formerly constrained to HTPC or light home server duty, small form factor systems are now becoming the province of enthusiasts, aided by motherboards and cases designed to support the power and air flow required to house the higher-end components such systems require. The latest performance-oriented Micro ATX case is Silverstone's new SUGO SG09B, and since it's from Silverstone, you might expect that it has some unique design features. You'd be right.
Benchmark Reviews evaluated the first CM Storm Scout gaming case when it was first released in 2009. Back then, it was a unique combination of form, function, and swagger. The built-in handle made it a natural for LAN parties, but the size and weight meant two things - you could pack in some serious hardware, and you needed serious muscles to carry it around. Perhaps surprisingly, that combination turned out to be very popular, and Cooler Master was encouraged to bring the basic design up to date after a few years. The 2012 version, called Scout 2, is better in almost every way. No major shifts in form or function occurred, and almost everything you liked about the original Scout has been updated and improved. Let's take a look at what the design team did with their second chance...
As more and more features are subsumed onto the motherboard, and graphics cards grow ever more powerful, many enthusiasts are realizing that they can do without the size and space requirements of an ATX form factor system. Micro-ATX and mini-ITX systems are becoming more popular, with new motherboards and cases breaking out of the HTPC market that they've defined for so long and nudging into the enthusiast market. Benchmark Reviews looks at Cooler Master's Elite 120 Advanced case and builds a gaming system in it to see how it fares.
In the fall of 2011, Cooler Master's gaming and enthusiast product branch, CM Storm, released the CM Storm Trooper Computer Case. It was a massive full-tower case with a very unique front I/O style and a big handle on top. The CM Storm Trooper received a lot of high marks by reviewers and owners alike. This time around, Cooler Master is changing things up just a little. The CM Storm Trooper is getting a face-lift and a name change. In this article, Benchmark Reviews is taking a look at the CM Storm Stryker, a white, windowed version of the Trooper.
Does your system contain a single video card and use onboard sound? If so, you might understand the increasing popularity of small form factor systems based on micro-ATX and mini-ITX motherboards. These tiny systems trade expansion slots for small size and convenience, and Silverstone of course has a number of cases for each. Benchmark Reviews checks out their latest mini-ITX computer case, the Silverstone SUGO SST-SG08, in this review.
Mention the term Small Form Factor and most people think of a PC case that you can hold in one hand. The term came into use when PC giants HP, Compaq, and IBM were all trying to shrink the corporate desktop. The question that came to mind when Benchmark Reviews first saw the XIGMATEK Gigas was, "Why this design?" It's because consumers want sleek, fashionable components in their life, and big tower cases are past their expiration date, as industrial designs go. There's an increasing focus on svelte boxes that work with a mini-ITX or micro-ATX motherboard. The tiniest boxes give up some measure of performance in exchange for space, but mid-sized models like the Gigas can handle the most powerful components available. The combination of four 120mm fans and passive ventilation on the side panel supplies plenty of cool air for all the critical components inside. The ability to use virtually any 120mm CPU cooler also helps keep temps down. While not exactly commonplace, you can also run a SLI/CrossFire arrangement. The Gigas will handle full-sized graphics cards up to 320mm in length, and PSUs up to 300mm. Let's see if we can turn this piece of art into a Power Cube.
Silverstone is a company that whose products I always look forward to reviewing. They tend to keep their engineering department on a loose leash and as such Silverstone tends to have some unique designs come out of its doors while keeping the beautiful exteriors I expect out of my cases. The Silverstone TJ04-E is a redesigned version of the venerable TJ04 case, with a new interior that has some interesting designs that allow the TJ04 to hold nine 3.5" drives and six 2.5" drives. The TJ04-E can also accommodate video cards up to 12.8" even with the drive cage installed an impressive feat considering the TJ04-E is only 489mm long and considered a mid-tower enclosure. Therefore, the real question is does the unique design of the TJ04-E make for a great case, or does Silverstone need to go back to the drawing board.
If you are familiar with Sentey, you'll recognize a certain pattern they have when releasing their computer cases. They generally release a style of case and then release a few more with the same style and some minor changes. There will be an R version of the case that has red highlights, a B version with blue, W for white, and so on. In some case series they will also release a V version with a different side panel (usually windowed). In the case of the Optimus series, as well as a couple of other series, Sentey has now released a II version of the case. At Benchmark Reviews, we have a Sentey GS-6000 II Optimus case on hand and ready break down to explore what they've changed on this one.
Corsair has been catering for the hardware enthusiasts and gamers for many years now and have gained a lot of praise for their high quality and high performance hardware. In this review Benchmark Reviews examines and tests out the Corsair Vengeance C70 mid-tower gaming PC case. Many of us believe that consoles killed PC gaming and Intel killed overclocking, but now we have another problem - Case manufactures killing case modding. The Corsair Vengeance C70 computer case has an ammo box theme and comes in military green to boot (also available in white and black). The C70 has some new features unique to this model and comes with two 120mm intake fans and one 120mm exhaust fan and removable mesh intake filters. There is also support for many different watercooling configurations including dual radiators for the deep pocketed enthusiast out there.

Network flips on Underbelly 'flop'
Furious fans have forced a New Zealand TV network to reinstate Melbourne gangland drama Underbelly after it was dumped after only three episodes.
The 13-part series was dropped from TV3's lineup this week, with the network saying poor ratings had led to its demise.
But overwhelmed by feedback from outraged fans, TV3 said today it was "bowing to the pressure of angry fans" and would reinstate the show.
The viewer mutiny included readers of Fairfax Media website stuff.co.nz, who made more than 200 demands for the show's return in a forum the website.
TV3 will restart Underbelly where it left off, with the fourth of 13 episodes showing on Sunday at 9.30pm.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) Former Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Jimmy Smith pleaded not guilty to several charges Thursday including possession of cocaine and marijuana.
Smith, 40, also pleaded not guilty to possession of drug paraphernalia and driving with a suspended license. A fifth charge, possessing or selling a controlled substance, was dropped.
Smith did not attend the arraignment at Duval County Courthouse. He was represented in court by his attorney, Hank Coxe, who did not comment on the case after the hearing.
Smith, who played 10 seasons for Jacksonville, was pulled over April 23 on Interstate 95 in Jacksonville for excessive window tint on his 2009 Mercedes Benz, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.
The trooper reported that the inside of the car smelled like burnt marijuana. During a search, the trooper found crack cocaine, marijuana and a business card with powder cocaine residue in the car's center console.
Smith retired from the Jaguars in 2006 after playing from 1995 to 2005. He finished with 862 receptions and 12,287 receiving yards and 67 touchdowns. He was a five-time Pro Bowl selection.
Despite the exceptional stats, Smith's career was not without problems.
In 2001, he had three operations to remove scar tissue from his abdomen. Some questioned whether he would play again, but he caught 112 passes for 1,373 yards — despite being arrested in November that year for suspicion of drunken driving. Tests later revealed he had cocaine in his system. He vehemently denied using the drug.
He was suspended for the first four games of the 2003 season for violating the league's substance-abuse policy. He then publicly acknowledged an addiction and spent several weeks in rehab.
Smith is represented by Coxe and Brian Coughlin. His next court date is set for June 17.

Black Lodge, as fellow reviewer Insignium puts it, has always been an incredibly elusive band. After forming in 1993, the band did absolutely -nothing- until Autumn 1994, when they started writing the music for Covet. Not until late in the summer of '95 was it finished, and then the band spent months recording, not finishing until later taht year in December. Afterwards, Head Not Found released the CD to an apathetic public, the band immediately split up, and as of now, only Black Lodge's bassist, Halvor Larsen, has re-entered the metal scene.
Despite the lukewarm sales of Covet, it is without a doubt, the most brilliant collection of musical genius ever to be released. Mixing elements of doom, gothic, thrash, black, and even death metal into their work, each of Covet's 7 songs is a mindfuck in its own right. The style of the songs range from being as peaceful and melodic as Leaves' Eyes, to as chaotic and dissonant as a Cryptopsy song.
The album kicks off with Dissonance, which, right from the beginning, creates an eerie air of suspense, despite the beautiful female vocals which introduce the track. The mood of the song varies, beginning with a peaceful-yet-melancholy collection of dirging guitars and wailing male vocals, but it changes gradually as Kim's voice takes on a more sinister, mocking tone, and the instrumental work speeds up exponentially. Quickly again, though, the song changes back to an ultra-slow bit of funeral doom, only to change again shortly thereafter until the track ends abruptly, moving onto Mother Urge.
The second track is the fastest one on the whole CD, filled with unexpectedly brutal male vocals, and even Kim joins in, adding her own screams, for the second half of the song. Even more dissonant than Dissonance, Mother Urge is as much a mindfuck as any Pig Destroyer song, but without the lame punk elements thrown in. Things die down in the last 10 seconds of the track, which then fades into # (rips as "Untranslated"). A hypnotic, eerie, droning voice and Larsen's bass are all that's used in #, and the lyrics are taken from Hamlet. The last 27 seconds of the song, though, are just the voice repeating "All life...has gone...all life...has gone," a play on Hamlet's "all -light- has gone", but acheiving the same effect. The fourth track, titled "Cube", picks up where # left off, with Moller still chanting, but quickly changes into a truly rageful song, filled with misanthropy and cynicism, supported wonderfully by blasting dirges from the guitars and excellent, sporadic bits of drumming. The song changes completely every 42 seconds (I kid you not), and gets slower and slower during the last two pieces, before stopping abruptly.
Tower Inertia is my favorite song on the entire CD. From the beginning, both vocalists take on a mournful tone as the guitars and drums support it, with Halvor mysteriously absent. Nonetheless, the song goes on, picking up to almost-normal speed at times, but then dying down, as the guitars stop, the male vocals stop, and the drums tap faintly in the background as Kim whispers slowly, almost inaudibly. The music picks up again quickly after a seconds-long stop about two thirds of the way into the track, and the male voice is back and enraged as ever. Although the minimalism of the track remains, so much is expressed through the sole guitar and alternating vocals, it truly is incredible.
After Tower Inertia ends on a rather melancholy note, Travesty picks up and destroys any semblance of funeral doom. Brutal and fast as all hell, Larsen's bass fights with the two guitars as Hoel bellows with fury for the entire track. I won't lie, though - some of the guitar riffs sound oddly like they were taken...directly...from Celtic Frost - Cherry Orchards...just sped up. If you haven't listened to Cold Lake upwards of 50 times before, though, and don't have it playing simultaneously, you probably won't even notice, and the song will sound just fine to you. Nonetheless, Travesty blares on angrily for its 7 and a half minute duration, and then stops suddenly at the end with the word "harsh."
Covet's final track, Mortal, begins almost as slowly as Tower Inertia, with the drums faintly tapping in the background and all the guitars buzzing quietly. This illusion of peace is quickly shattered, though, as the vocals return. Hoel's voice has taken on an air of acceptance of his fate, and Kim's joins in, still mocking, but with an ever more superior quality to it, knowing that she's won. For the first time on the CD, the guitars and drums complement each other and play in harmony, creating a decidely unsettling dark aura of closure. The two vocalists sing in unison: Hoel, beaten and submissive, Kim, strong and dominant. The music plays on, shifting from melodic and victorious to chaotic and threatening again, but with a much more sinister air. The track and the CD end with a final, whispered plea from Hoel for his death, before everything stops without warning, and Covet comes to a close.
Covet, although a long-forgotten and never-acclaimed album, was released over a decade ago to an unresponsive metal scene. In 2004, though, Head Not Found put out a reissue of Covet, and thanks to the wonders of the internet, sold all 1500 copies to a much more appreciative public. Despite this, though, the band is still incredibly unknown, which is always a plus. If you manage to locate a copy of Covet, even if it's $250 (the price of my original, bought in 03), by all means, *buy it*. Both kvlt as fuck and incredible, Covet is easily the most amazing musical work ever spawned.

Fighting back against fat
Britain's only summer camp for overweight children is helping youngsters to fight back against the rising tide of obesity among the young.
One in three British children are overweight, and it is estimated that the number of overweight teenagers has doubled in the last 20 years.
Some doctors are concerned that young people may even be out-lived by their parents as a matter of routine.
At the Carnegie Weight Loss Camp outside Bradford in West Yorkshire young people between the ages of 11 and 16 are taught about the benefits of exercise and a healthy diet.
Libby Williams is one of the students at the camp. At 12 she is acutely aware of her body image.
"I see my best friend as skinny as a stick, and it makes me feel uncomfortable."
Amber Kay, 12, lost 11lbs in her first week at the camp. She blames the growing levels of obesity on bullying.
"If you have problems you can comfort eat, and get overweight."
Lucy Smith, 14, who lost 10lbs in a week, blames the easy availability of fast food.
"There are more options than ever before, and school dinners seem to be fattier."
Camp trainer Paul Gately blames television for much of the problem.
"TV watching has a massive impact on these kids. Not only is TV watching a sedentary activity, but kids are bombarded with advertisements."
Bob Townsend, 13, agrees. He says he has become very aware at special offers aimed specifically at children.
"You see kids starting to eat more and more, and as they get older getting bigger and bigger.
"But you see adverts saying 'supersize only 30p more', and you think 'what a bargain, might as well get it'.
"But it is not doing you any favours putting on more weight."
Expert meeting
Obesity experts are meeting on Tuesday in Bristol to discuss the problem of childhood obesity.
Dr Laurel Edmunds, of Oxford University, said there was no simple solution, and the problems were getting worse and worse.
She said type 2 diabetes, commonly associated with middle age, was now being seen among children.
"This is really worrying. The country cannot afford an epidemic of type 2 diabetes."
She said it was a serious concern that children would die before their parents.
"Our whole society is becoming more geared up to making everybody overweight.
"The lack of physical activity in everybody, but particularly our children is a real concern, and a real future health risk."
Dr Edmunds said part of the problem might be linked to parents' reluctance to talk to young girls about weight for fear of increasing the risk of eating disorders.
"It is a huge concern for parents. They would much rather have a plump child than one that is anorexic or bulimic, so they tend to do nothing, they don't even talk to their children about weight until their child insists on it being discussed."
Later life
Dr John Reilly, from the University of Glasgow, told the conference obese children were now much more likely to remain overweight as they went through adulthood, than they were 20 years ago.
He said: "It is a fairly common perception among families and health professionals that it (childhood obesity) does not matter that much.
"But childhood obesity does matter. It has adverse health implications both in the short term and the long term.
"We will get a lot more long standing obesity than we have ever had previously - and that is a lot more dangerous."

UNM School of Law alumni, faculty, staff, students, and friends celebrated a new and improved outdoor basketball court at a dedication on October 17, 2013.
The beautiful new court is courtesy of a generous gift from UNM School of Law alumnus Will Ferguson, Class of 1974.
The court was initiated with free throws, slam dunks, hook shots, and refreshments. "Know the Rules – Play Hard – Play Fair" is emblazoned on the court and on a covered grandstand with bleacher seating.
The UNM Law basketball court has a significant history and played a memorable role in many of our alumni and law school community's UNM Law experiences.
The official dedication was a casual celebration of the new court and Ferguson's additional major gift of financial support for student scholarships.

Name of entry: GoPayment at SXSW
Name of company entering: Intuit
Category: Talking
As one of the first mobile payment solutions available, GoPayment arrived early to a market that soon heated up with a flurry of hot startup entrants. With all eyes on the newest players, Intuit faced the challenge of reinvigorating interest in market pioneer GoPayment amongst the tech elite, who led the mobile payments conversation in the media.
To heighten brand awareness of GoPayment amongst the tech influencer audience, the team targeted one of the biggest tech events of the year, SXSW (March 11-15, 2011 in Austin, TX), to wow them and drive organic social buzz with a talk-worthy integrated marketing campaign centered on seeing GoPayment "in the wild." Intuit tied immersive product experiences to real Austin small businesses that provided much-needed mobile services to show attendees – transportation and food. Partnering with the city's most popular food truck, Chi'Lantro, and a large pedicab fleet, Metrocycle, Intuit armed food truck employees and pedicab riders with GoPayment and offered patrons deep discounts on rides and menu items if they paid by credit card.
Throughout the SXSW Interactive festival, show attendees could hitch a ride with a GoPayment-branded Metrocycle pedicab and if they followed the @GoPayment Twitter stream, they would find the password of the day. Passengers would simply have to tell their riders the password and the ride came compliments of GoPayment. To ensure passengers had an interactive product experience, riders charged the free rides to GoPayment-branded gift cards so passengers would see the swipe and sign by touch to complete the transaction.
The pedicab riders were selected to be part of this campaign because they are typically extroverted and naturally spread word of mouth. In particular, they quickly understood the value of GoPayment for their own business. Now they could make more money by giving customers the option to pay by credit card and not just cash. As a result, the pedicab riders became enthusiastic influencers for GoPayment.
During the evening hours of SXSW Interactive, show attendees also had the opportunity to grab Korean-Mexican fusion food on the cheap. Patrons of the Chi'lantro food truck could grub on $0.25 tacos or the daily special if they paid by credit card via GoPayment. Daily specials were named after key tech influencers (e.g. the Kincaid Korean Burger, the Anthony Hawesome Bowl, Van Grove Vegan Fries) and were communicated through @GoPayment on Twitter. The tech celebrities who had menu items named after them helped promote the daily specials via their own Twitter handles.
To promote the pedicab and food truck deals, Intuit spread the word on its own social media channels (including the Intuit Small Business Blog and Twitter and Facebook brand pages), wrapped the pedicabs and food truck with ads, outfitted the pedicab riders and food truck employees with promo t-shirts, briefed them on campaign messaging so they could act as brand ambassadors, and issued a direct email drop to Intuit customers in the Austin area.
The "wow" factor of seeing these typically cash-only small businesses accept credit cards on their phones paired with the delight of receiving a free ride or $0.25 taco ignited positive word-of-mouth about GoPayment on Twitter and beyond.
Business results
With heightening brand awareness of GoPayment amongst the digerati on social channels as the overarching campaign goal, the team set the objective of bolstering social impressions of GoPayment in the Twittersphere five-fold in a week with no news. The campaign increased social impressions on Twitter 17-fold and grew @GoPayment's Twitter following 140 percent. The spurt in brand awareness on social showed in the business results as well, contributing to 133% customer growth in Spring 2011.

Roberts tops The Hollywood Reporter's annual list of the highest-paid actresses for the second straight year
Money isn't everything, but without money everything is nothing. Hence, it is understandable then that people in common usually use money as a measuring rod for someone or something.

Nicole Kidman is 2nd, with a $16 million to $17 million per-film price tag, followed by Reese Witherspoon at 3rd and actress-producer Drew Barrymore at 4th, who each commands $15 million per project. Meanwhile the No. 5, No 6 and No. 7 are held by Renee Zellweger, Angelina Jolie and Cameron Diaz, all have salaries estimated between $10 million and $15 million per film.

No. 9 on the list is Charlize Theron with a $10 million earning, while the No. 10 position goes to Jennifer Aniston who is said to make $9 million a movie.
