Electronic Arts has posted a video with a first taste of the action in its first-person shooter Medal of Honor: Warfighter.
Hint: there are lots of guns involved. The game launches Oct. 23 for PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.
The shooter features elite forces from around the world as they tackle a variety of terrorist threats.
"We want to spend time and show how, yeah, they're rough men with a tough job, and they're incredible at -- clearly, they're genetically different than most of us. But again, they have a home life. Those families, in a lot of ways, they sacrifice just as much if not more than the guys do," says executive producer Greg Goodrich during an interview last month at the Game Developers Conference.

text: My grandma has had dementia for a few years now but recently she has started to get confused with what time of day it is. Regularly she is now getting up at 2/3am and getting dressed thinking that it is 9am and then on a night she is asking when it is lunch time. My mam is her main carer but looking after her is starting to put a pressure of everyone in my house. I was just wondering if there was anyone else in the same boat so to speak who could give me some sort of advice? It has been suggested by an elderly mental health nurse that my grandma attend day centres but my grandma point blank refuses to go to them or have any sort of social involvement when initially asked, but then 10 minutes later cannot remember what the conversation is about. This then means that we are basically left to care for her by ourselves as she is pretty stubborn when she wants to be.

The Alias feature has been rolled out to Windows Live Hotmail worldwide, introducing the concept of dispensable email addresses.
"Email aliases let you create completely different email addresses that you can use to receive email into your primary account without anyone knowing what your primary email address is," revealed Dharmesh Mehta, Director, Windows Live Product Management.
"Starting today, you can add up to five aliases per year to your Hotmail account, up to fifteen aliases in total, all designed to make it a lot easier to organize different types of email and personas in one Hotmail inbox without having to give out your primary email address if you don't want to."
Users need only sign into their Hotmail accounts, hover the mouse over the Inbox, click on the 'More actions for your inbox' option and then select Create a Hotmail alias.
Of course, Hotmail users are free to leverage aliases in combination with the other features of the email service to both cut down spam but also take advantage of multiple accounts concomitantly.

Project Grad is a program to BELIEVE IN! They truly do MAKE A DIFFERENCE! To work with them is an HONOR!
Hello, I am a current student at Georgia State and Project Grad has given, not only me but fellows students a chance and opportunity to be a part of something great. Being an African-American Harpist, I was also offered to play at one of Project Grad Events, making myself more credible in my involvement with post secondary success. Project Grad and their member, Ms. Ann is a team I would love to tell the world about. This Scholarship Program really loves its students.
Project Grad Atlanta is the best thing that has happened to me. They are very helpful and give me the opportunity to utilize the help given to us. Project Grad goes above and beyond expectations in order to keep us focused, on the right path and ensuring us the best college career possible.
What a great organization with a great mission to help high school students prepare for and succeed in college! I am proud to be part of this successful and worthwhile organization that is making a difference in thousands of lives.
This is a great opportunity for students! Not only does Project GRAD provide students with a scholarship to attend college, but provides them with the essential skills needed to be successful in high school and college. Project GRAD assists student with SAT/ACT prep, encourages all students to strive for their best, gives real life college experiences, etc. I only wish my daughter who recently graduated from high school was given the same opportunity!!!
We are grateful that Project Grad is still supporting some of our APS schools. It would be great if this initiative could be in every school as the mission begins with our babies in elementary school. A great option to reach more parents within the District of APS and even to support them would be to connect with the Adult Literacy Center and PAPAC (District Wide Parent Center) and many having a office in these areas or possibly doing workshops with our school Parent Centers to help drive academic goals of the school. Great job thus far on taking our youth, schools and communities higher.
Project GRAD Atlanta has a passion and commitment to improve students' academic success. It is the most comprehensive approach to increasing awareness to the idea of college enrollment that I have ever witnessed. They continue to establish creative strategies for addressing the identified needs of students from low-income backgrounds. Their partnership with Atlanta Public Schools has changed the lives of thousands of families and will make this city a better place for years to come. By helping students and parents understand the importance of college, they are changing the world. Now each year, hundreds of low-income students appreciate that college is realistic option.
I don't have any kids or haven't benefited from Project Grad, but I know a couple staff member and I know how hard they work to serve the kids. Graduations, summer programs, after hours programs. I know they are making a difference for the youth of our city. Thanks
The work that Project GRAD (PG) does to enhance the lives of underserved families is unparalleled. As a product of the readiness, access and success services, I can attest to the impact it has on First Generation College students. I am the fourth of five children, and the only person in my family to graduate high school and college. This would not have been possible had it not been for the exposure I received through Project GRAD. I was taken on various college tours, individually advised by informed college admission & financial aid specialist. As a result, I learned what was necessary to successfully enroll and graduate college. Project GRAD really understand that value of a college education and empowers students and families to understand it life altering impact. As a 2013 graduate of Morehouse College and currently a Consultant for a Fortune 500 company, I understand that Graduation Really Achieves Dreams.
I have seen Project GRAD serve thousands of students of Atlanta in the Metropolitan area by providing them with guidance from teachers, fellow peers, and the Project GRAD staff. Each person who has worked with Project Grad has provided the students with support and education required to graduate and prepare for college. Through my experience with Project GRAD, I was able to help students who were just like myself when I was in school. I was able to show the leadership skills that I developed through my experience in college and spread the word of how I was made into the person who I am today with the help and determination of the Project GRAD staff. Thank you Project GRAD for providing opportunities for students in the Metropolitan area of Atlanta

The Sign - Poem by J.L. Nash
It was the sign
a post with a small board attached
that said nothing
up until then
I had seen ephemeral shells
a ray swim beneath me
a horizontal coconut tree
but it was the sign
that spoke to me
saying nothing
just lying there on the beach
beside discarded or lost
single sandals
empty bottles
broken coral we tried
to make it stand
built a base for it
a sign on a tiny island
saying nothing
but that was always
why I disliked her
because she would stand there
erect in posture
not unlike the little post
we left in the sand
on that tiny island
wooden and silent
no message to convey
saying nothing
The small island's
sign to nowhere
not directing anyone to
anywhere with its
blank face its
ambiguity of note
was more beautiful
on looking back as I
paddled away than any
lover's sleeping breath
was her silence
her emptiness of
conversation the
thing that made her
seem so beautiful
was the ownership of
my fantasy messages
unwritten on that
small board the same
to those who loved her
had I misunderstood her
silence her awkward
wooden poise Had others
found in her what I had seen
in my little sign post
my small sign
on that tiny island
leading nowhere
out of place
saying nothing

Justin Bieber's Announces Next Single
Making the most of his time in the UK, Justin Bieber showed up at the Mint Leaf Restaurant in London, England this afternoon (February 20).
The "One Less Lonely Girl" singer spent about 30 minutes in the trendy eatery before heading back to his hotel to change his clothes and meet up with The Wanted for some shenanigans.
Meanwhile, Justin just announced he'll release a new single from his Believe album called "Right Here," and he's hoping his Beliebers will send it to the top of the charts.
Bieber tweeted, "New single off of #BELIEVE ?? The next single u should blast up the iTunes Chart & request at radio?? I'm thinking #RightHere feat @Drake."
As for his relationship with fellow Canadian Drake, Justin told MTV, "We talk about everything. He's a great guy and super-talented, and his melodies are crazy. When we go into the studio, he'll go in the booth and he'll do some melodies and we'll write. If I'm in the studio there's not really any time to mess around. It's always different, but always [there to] get the work done."

- 01/31/2013
By James B. Milliken
President, University of Nebraska
One of the most critical challenges our nation faces is protecting our citizens and our allies against nuclear, chemical, biological, cyber and other types of attacks. The University of Nebraska is well positioned to help address these critical national security challenges. Our faculty conduct highly regarded research in vaccine development, nuclear forensics, information technology, consequence management and other areas, and our academic programs include one of the only space, cyber and telecommunications law programs in the world.
We've taken a significant step forward with a new partnership announced recently between the university and the United States Strategic Command (USSTRATCOM) at Offutt Air Force Base. Through our partnership, we will create a University-Affiliated Research Center focused on research and development that will make our country safer. The UARC will leverage the leading expertise of our faculty in physics, nanoscience, engineering, computer science, psychology, law, epidemiology and many other areas for the benefit our nation and the men and women serving in the military. It was a proud moment when my university colleagues and I joined USSTRATCOM leaders and members of Nebraska's congressional delegation to announce this important initiative.
The University of Nebraska becomes one of only 14 U.S. institutions to host a UARC, joining an esteemed group that includes the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Johns Hopkins University and the University of Texas. Research funding from the Department of Defense to our campuses has already grown significantly over the past decade – from about $7.3 million to $34.8 million – and the UARC will position us to grow that figure significantly, helping to attract talent to Nebraska and create quality jobs and unique opportunities for our students.
Of course, while this partnership with STRATCOM is new, the impetus for our participation in the UARC is similar to that of other university-wide initiatives that we have launched recently, including those in water and food security, early childhood education and rural futures. All of these initiatives, and now the UARC, are grounded in the same basic principle: That a 21st-century land-grant university can and should address in a significant way some of the great challenges facing the world. All will leverage the talents of our faculty and the wisdom of our partners for a much broader benefit. All will enable us to expand our research focus and grow the knowledge economy in Nebraska. All will serve Nebraska as well as the country and the world.
The UARC provides a tremendous opportunity for the university to contribute to critical challenges related to defense and national security, and my colleagues and I look forward to working with our partners at STRATCOM to advance our shared goals. I thank Gen. C. Robert Kehler, STRATCOM commander, for his leadership and support, and U.S. Sen. Ben Nelson, who has long been an advocate for university research and chairs the Strategic Forces Subcommittee on the Senate's Armed Services Committee. The entire Nebraska congressional delegation strongly supports our efforts and we are deeply appreciative of their help.
It is a distinct honor for the University of Nebraska to host a University-Affiliated Research Center. We are prepared to support the missions of USSTRATCOM and deliver results that can make Nebraskans proud.

Environmental Uncertainty and Product-Process Life Cycles: A Multi-level Interpretation of Change Over Time
Product-process life cycle models are often used to describe long-term change in organizations. Such models generally assume a deterministic trajectory of long-run industry evolution and production core transformation that lead to standardization over time. Typical interpretations of these models do not explain the short and intermediate term choices and competitive dynamics that lead to the longer-term changes, or explain viable 'off-trajectory' positions and post-stabilization complications that can arise. In this paper, we use multiple theory streams to augment discussions of product-process life cycle models in ways that allow interpretation of the role of uncertainty and management decision-making for the typical trajectory of standardization as well as off-trajectory and post-standardization phases.

27 Jan 2003 : Column 564continued
13. Hugh Bayley (City of York): What assistance his Department is giving to conflict prevention in Africa. [93180]
The Minister of State, Ministry of Defence (Mr. Adam Ingram): The Ministry of Defence contributes to the Government's conflict prevention efforts in Africa in close co-operation with the Foreign and Commonwealth Office and the Department for International Development through the interdepartmental conflict prevention pool. Together, we are also working with our
Hugh Bayley : In view of the important contribution that British military advisers have made to the search for a durable peace in southern Sudan, will my right hon. Friend look at the prospects for building a ceasefire between the Ugandan Government forces and the Lord's Resistance Army in northern Uganda? Will he especially take advice from our high commissioner in
Mr. Ingram: My hon. Friend is a specialist on all matters relating to Africa and raises a most important issue: how we take forward conflict prevention. At all times, we must examine the whole range of practical options that can be delivered. I shall certainly take account of the views that he has expressed and ensure that they are actively considered.
The Secretary of State for Work and Pensions (Mr. Andrew Smith): With permission Mr Speaker, I should like to make a statement on the implementation of the child support reforms.
As the House knows, the Government are reforming the child support system to ensure that more children benefit from regular maintenance. That will get support more effectively to parents with care and their children, help non-resident parents meet their responsibilities and tackle child poverty.
The new scheme will be more transparent and easier for parents to understand. It will also be easier for the agency to calculate maintenance and enforce payment so that children have the support that they need. It will be based on a simple rate so that non-resident parents will know in advance how much maintenance they must pay. For example, non-resident parents with net incomes of £200 to £2,000 a week will be expected to make paymentsbased on 15 per cent. for one child, 20 per cent. for two and 25 per cent. for three or morefrom their net weekly income; that is, after tax, national insurance and pension contributions, and after the same percentage allowance for any children in their new family.
For non-resident parents with net incomes of less than £100 a week and those receiving income support and jobseeker's allowance, child maintenance will be set at a flat rate of £5 a week. For those with incomes of between £100 and £200 a week, there will be a sliding scale. There will be specific provisions for cases where the care of children is shared.
The introduction of the child maintenance premium will mean that for the first time parents with care receiving income support or income-based jobseeker's allowance who are on the new scheme can keep up to £10 a week of any maintenance paid for their children. That will give them a real stake in making child support work.
The changes we have brought in since 1997 will help, too. The Child Support Agency is more customer focused. Levels of compliance have increased; the agency now collects over £200 million more each year in child maintenance than it did five years ago. The number of complaints is well down; for example, those referred to the chief executive by Members of the House have fallen 28 per cent. over the past three years.
Last March, my predecessor, now the Secretary of State for Transport, announced that the introduction of the new scheme would be delayed until the Government were confident that the new information technology worked effectively. That was the right decision and was generally welcomed on both sides of the House, as well as by voluntary groups.
Last September, I wrote to all Members updating them on progress. I said that testing of the computer system had been progressing satisfactorily over the summer so that we were in a position to pilot the new IT for some cases on existing rules. Those pilot arrangements have worked well and are operating across the country. Both senior officials and I are now satisfied, on the basis of the careful and comprehensive testing, that the system will deliver the level of service that our customers have a right to expect.
I am pleased to tell the House that new cases will be calculated using the new rules from 3 March this year. New cases are those where liability for maintenance begins on or after 3 March. They will come on to the system at a rate of 30,000 a month. I should remind the House that we always planned to introduce the changes in a phased way. We will start in March with new cases, and then convert the existing 1.1 million cases later, when we can see how the arrangements are working.
However, some existing cases will be brought across to the new scheme earlier than othersprimarily those that become linked to a new case. For example, if an application calculated under the new scheme were made by a parent with care in respect of a non-resident parent who was already liable for maintenance in a different case, it would be neither fair nor workable for people to have liability simultaneously under two different schemes, so it is best to move those linked cases on to the new system together. We will, of course, write to existing clients to explain how they will be affected by the changes and to tell them that they need do nothing further until they are contacted by the agency.
I am satisfied that the IT system will deliver a level of service that is acceptable, but with any new system of this size, even after exhaustive testing, there will be some bugs to be sorted out. We have put in place systems and procedures to deal with that. We are also improving arrangements for responding to inquiries from the public, advice agencies and hon. Members. Tomorrow, I shall write to hon. Members with details of an MP-specific hotline that is already in place in all the agency's business units. The agency will do all that it can to ensure that the new system gives a better service to clients.
On the financial implications of this announcement, my predecessor told the House in his statement on 20 March last year that there would be additional costs. The system has proved to be more complex than had been originally thought, and we have reached a negotiated agreement with EDS to share those costs, with it meeting its share under the contract. The amount that the Government will pay has risen by about 7 per cent. over the term of the contract. Although any extra cost is unwelcome, an increase on that scale is not at all unusual for a complex projectwhether in the public or private sectorand it is justified to deliver this important reform.
The implementation of the new IT system is the key to bringing in the much-needed new child support scheme, with its better, fairer and simpler system for calculating maintenance. It will help us to target resources to make sure that more maintenance is actually paid, getting more money to children more quickly. That is the right policy. I believe that the decision that we took to delay implementation last March was right, and that it is the right decision to proceed now.
Mr. David Willetts (Havant): I thank the Secretary of State for his statement. In fact, more than that, I welcome it with some relief after years of delay.
Will the Secretary of State confirm that the new IT system was originally promised for October 2001; then April 2002; and then, in March last year, it was delayed with no new date fixed at all? Although millions of families have been kept waiting, the latest CSA annual
Will the Secretary of State tell the House about the reasons for that delay? We need to know, not least because it is very relevant to the bill for the delay. EDS says that the problem is that Ministers kept interfering in the details of the system. Ministers may, understandably, have a different version of events, but we know from the Secretary of State's statement that the Government will now pay more as a result of that delay. That implies that they accept some responsibility for what has happened. The Secretary of State did not tell the House how much more they will have to pay. We are talking about a project valued at hundreds of millions of pounds, with very significant cost over-runs. How much of that cost will be borne by the taxpayer? The House is entitled to know.
There are 1.5 million children in families covered by the CSA. We all know the problems of the CSA, which have been brought to the surgeries of all Members of the House. Can the Secretary of State give the House any more information about the handling of existing cases? More than 1 million families are still in the dark after today's announcement. When will they be moved on to the new IT system and the new formula? One Minister said in a Committee that it would take a year; another said that it would take five years. What is the Secretary of State's estimate, which will enable existing cases to know where they stand?
The Department has several major projects on its hands. The Secretary of State is introducing a new system for paying benefits in the spring, the national rollout of Jobcentre Plus, the new pensions service, the new pension credit in the autumn, and all the Chancellor's pet tax credits, which are also being changed. [Hon. Members: "Hear, hear."] I am pleased that Labour Members welcome all those changes, and I hopeespecially if they have welcomed themthat they, like me, will seek an assurance from the Secretary of State that they are all on time, on budget and deliverable. Surely the lesson from the disaster with the IT project for the CSA is that the Government have significant problems delivering all these changes. Will the Secretary of State learn lessons from that sorry episode and apply them to the other big projects piling up in his Department? Millions of families will face uncertainty and delay unless he can guarantee to the House that the projects will be delivered on time and on budget.

The Fijian could take Woods' number one ranking if he finishes above Woods.
Woods, joint leader after the first round, is two shots back after a 68, alongside John Rollins and Bill Haas.
If Woods, number one for 264 straight weeks and 334 in total, finishes in the top seven, Singh would need to either tie or be ahead of him.
"Everybody keeps talking about it, they keep writing about
it, I keep reading about it," Singh said.
"I'm not concerned about it. It's not going to affect me one way or the other if I
overtake him or not.
"What would that change for me? I'll have to go out there next week and do it all over again."
Singh, the world number two, got off to a whirlwind start, making
an eagle and a birdie on the first two holes.
He also birdied the fourth and seventh holes but bogeyed the
eighth to make the turn in four-under.
"With a start like that, I guess you can be very aggressive
and attack the golf course," he added.
"I felt I had the green light to go ahead and hit drivers
and go at the pins, and I did and I played well all day.'
Woods, who posted three birdies in his final six holes, also brushed off interest in his number one position.
"Winning just takes care of it," he said. "That's always the
goal, any time I tee it up, to win.
"If you win consistently, you don't have to worry about it."
Former world number one David Duval - the only player apart from Woods to have held top spot over the last six years - sank a three-foot birdie on the 18th to make a cut for the first time in 15 months.
The 2001 Open champion last made a cut at the FBR Open in June 2003.

-I have worked professionally as a photographer for several years. I also have experience as an MUA, bodypainter, and photo editor. I have a strong understanding of light, composition, and perspective, which means I can work consciously with your setup to help get the best possible photos.
-I have amateur acting experience and have studied combat arts and dance. I have a strong sense of physicality and expression.
-I'm punctual, professional, and laid-back. I take commitments very seriously, but I'm also easy-going.
My focus right now is almost exclusively on paid shoots. My rates are below industry normal, but exact quotes depend on whether you're 30 minutes away or 3 hours, so please contact me for details. Since I'm in the middle of losing a ton of weight, I am needing to repopulate my wardrobe at an unusually high rate, and I will consider trading for clothes as I outshrink the ones I have.
What Some People Don't Love:
-I have tattoos and scars. Full accounts of each are in my "About Me" below.
-I'm not doing tfp shoots right now. My rates are extremely reasonable. I'm working to get ready to enlist in the armed forces, and your fees will help me pay off my debts so I can pass the very intense background check.
About Me:
I started modeling at 18, and have modeled off and on since. I've posed for photographers and traditional artists, and I'm happy to get involved in classes and workshops.
I'm losing weight quickly and my measurements are updated frequently. Even so, I am definitely a plus model, and I always will be. I have a 13" difference between my waist and hips: I have CURVES!
I have a small flower tattoo on my right shoulder and a large Rorschach ink blot on my left arm. The former is easily hidden; the latter, not so much. I also have a nose ring which can be removed, and leaves virtually no mark when it's out. I have scars over many different part of my body, but people tell me I'm the only one who thinks they're noticeable. Polaroids available if it makes a difference.
Most of the images in my portfolio are not new, but I've tried to keep it to images when I was about the same look as I am now. Images will be filed by date, so just check the folder. I usually don't wear any makeup, so how I look in my photos is how I look in real life.
I model for fun, but most of the time I'm a photographer, teacher, blogger, and a host of other things. I'm currently losing weight and doing fitness training to get myself ready to enlist in the US Air Force, and money earned through modeling will support that aim.

For Online Computer Support, Ask a Computer Technician
I had the same problem with my HP All-in-one when I upgraded to Windows 2000 years ago. I had worked perfectly on Windows 98 until that point.
Visit your printer manufacturer's website and make sure you have the newest drivers. This fixed my issue.
Make sure the cable is properly connected at both ends.
The old cable was a USB1 cable and the new cable is USB2. USB2 is backwards compatible with USB1 devices, so the new cable shouldn't be an issue.
Since this is Windows Vista, it most likely is a driver issue. Whenever there is a new version of Windows, there are hardware incompatibilities that the hardware manufacturers must work through ... or decide not to work through.
There is a chance that the printer manufacturer has not updated the drivers for Vista yet. They generally start with their newest models first and work their way backwards. If your printer is too old, the manufacturer may not update the drivers for it at all.
Good luck!!

A PUB is to host a fun day tomorrow to raise money for a charity that is raising cash for a family battling for justice.
The Fox & Hounds, in Mulfords Hill, will hold the event for the Out of the Blue charity between noon and 6pm. It will feature plenty for families to enjoy, with a bouncy castle, Easter egg hunt, an Easter bonnet competition, a giant slide and 'name the chick'.
Out of the Blue was set up following the death of Tadley teenager Robert Sebbage to help his family pay legal and other costs involved in attending a trial in Greece.
Robert, a former pupil at The Hurst Community College, was killed on the Greek island of Zante on July 13, 2011 while on holiday with friends.
Greek taxi driver Stelios Morfis was found guilty of the unintentional manslaughter of 18-year-old Robert, following a two-week trial in 2012, but was cleared of murder.
A retrial, called for by a Greek prosecutor, has now been set for June 11 this year in a Greek Court of Appeal.
The fundraising day is being organised by Glenn Tomblin, who works as head doorman at the pub.
He said: "Out of the Blue is a good local charity, and we wanted to do something to raise money for them.
"Entrance will be free, but we will be having collection boxes, and we're hoping to raise as much money as possible. There will be something for everyone and we're hoping to have a lot of families come along with their children."

Growing herbs on the kitchen windowsill is like a dream come true…but can it be done successfully? Recently I had Master Gardener Louise Rennecker, the "Herb Lady" on my radio program, WBOI 89.1 FM who simply says, "No." In many ways I must agree with her on the subject of growing herbs indoors. It is near impossible to grow outdoor plants in the house, especially in the winter when you have everything going against you…low light levels, short daylight hours and the lack of fresh, outside air. However, if growing herbs inside is something that you would like to try, then here are some tips to help you along.
Find an area where your plants can get the most possible light throughout the day. Consider the addition of an artificial lighting fixture to extend the length of day. Try to get a duel flourescent light to hang close above your plants and use one soft and one cool tube for best results. The idea is to extend the day length by turning the light on early in the morning and off around 9:00 or 10:00 PM. Temperature is not a big factor unless you are running too warm. Ideally, 62-68 degrees would be best except in the very beginning while you are germinating your seeds. Germination generally works best around 72-75 degrees and then immediately after the seeds start to grow, transplant them to individual pots, then move to a cooler spot.
Start the seeds in a good, soil-less artificial mix that drains well and be extra careful not to over-water your plants in the beginning. Fertilizer is always a no-no with seedlings but after they have been established in their own individual pots, you may fertilize, but at one-fourth the recommended rate. Keep any flowers from developing by pinching them off at first sight.
Most of the more common varieties can be started from seed but some varieties can only be started from cuttings. It is quite simple knowing the varieties to grow from seed as they are the ones on the seed rack. The seed racks are starting to show up already at your favorite garden centers so give a call to see if they are in. Basil, chives, coriander, dill, mint parsley, sage, rosemary, tarragon and thyme are some of the many herbs that you can get started with right now…good luck!

ARIA award winner and former Australian Idol contestant Matt Corby has been announced as the headline act for Canberra's Australia Day eve celebrations later this month.
The Australia Celebrates Live concert on the lawns of Parliament House is in its 11th year, and is expected to attract about 30,000 to see the 2014 Australians of the Year announced.
Corby, whose song Resolution was voted ARIA Song of the Year by the public, will play a full set for the evening after concert organisers the National Australia Day Council took on board feedback from previous celebrations.
"In previous years they've only played two or three songs. With a performer like Matt Corby, three songs just isn't enough. We want to give the Canberra audience the best experience possible," Australia Day Council chief Jeremy Lasek said.
"We expect a terrific crowd. It's a Saturday night, we'll have just heard who the new Australian of the Year is, and then what a way to celebrate."
Corby, who also won ARIA Song of the Year in 2012 for Brother, is expected to play some new music as well has his hits.
"I'm looking forward to connecting with people and spreading some positive musical energy. We have all had some time off so it will be the band and my first show of the year," Corby said.
The concert takes on a new format for 2014, with ARIA nominated singer-songwriter Lior playing an hour-long tribute to the outgoing Australians of the Year, comprised of both his own songs and Australian classics chosen by previous award-winners.
A further three artists will also be announced next week, and Mr Lasek says all will be playing longer sets than last year to make sure fans get their fill.
"It's going to be a great atmosphere. We expect not only Canberrans but we hope people from around the region take advantage of a long weekend, come to Canberra, settle in for a fantastic show, and hopefully stay for the weekend," he said.
Australia Celebrates Live is free and begins at 5pm on January 25. Gates open at 3pm.

Workhorse turboprops
Sales continue to outpace those of jets, based on strong economics, large cabins and flexible mission profiles.
Pilatus PC12 NG
Pilatus has delivered more than 1100 PC12s since the type's introduction in 2004.
During the recession of 2007–09 Pilatus enjoyed its best years, delivering an average 96 aircraft per year, while other aircraft manufacturers suffered steep declines.
Credit belongs to a sound design that is both flexible and very economical.
According to Pilatus Business Aircraft VP Marketing Tom Aniello, the PC12's versatility lends itself to a number of primary markets, including ownerflown, corporate transport, government multimission and air ambulance.
Other strengths include a 330 cu ft cabin, great runway performance (including unprepared strips), high speed and low fuel burn.
Powered by a single PT6A-67B (1200 shp), the PC12 NG is certified to FL300 and has a max cruising speed of 280 kts.
In addition, Pilatus customer service is second to none.
Pilatus recently announced the availability of Honeywell SmartView SVS to PC12 NG operators.
SmartView is incorporated into the Honeywell Apex avionics suite, providing the same benefit typically found only in much larger business jets.
Daher-Socata TBM850
TBM850 is the world's fastest single-engine turboprop, with a max speed of 320 kts at FL260. In Dec 2005 the 850 was announced as the successor to the TBM700C2—the avionics were upgraded to current Garmin G1000 standard in 2007.
Powered by a PT6A-66D (850 shp), the TBM850 can carry a full fuel payload of 850 lbs over 1100 nm.
In Mar 2012, during Sun 'n' Fun, Daher-Socata launched the TBM850 Elite. One unique feature is a flexible cabin that can be reconfigured from 6 passengers to 4 in less than 30 min, allowing a little more legroom and twice the baggage capacity. The 600th TBM-series aircraft was delivered in Jan 2012.
Piper Meridian
The 500-shp PT6A-42A-powered Piper PA46-500T Meridian entered service 12 years ago. Since then, more than 500 examples have been delivered.
The closest competitor to the Meridian is the TBM850.
Piper believes that Meridian represents great value, burning 30% less fuel than the TBM850.
Meridian is the most fuel-efficient 6-place single-engine turboprop, burning only 37 gph in cruise. According to Piper, the Meridian is growing in popularity and is replacing less economical turboprops and jets.
In addition to fuel efficiency, the Meridian is equipped with an integrated Garmin G1000/GFC700 avionics/autopilot suite. Dual 10-in PFDs display synthetic vision, WAAS-certified GPS plus optional traffic and terrain. The 15-in MFDs display engine and system info, Sirius XM Weather and weather radar information.
Fixed-gear utility/multirole
Cessna Caravan 675/208B/208EX
In Jul 2012, Cessna announced its latest addition to the Caravan product line—the Grand Caravan EX. The EX offers a 25% boost in power that improves runway performance under hot-and-high conditions and increases climb performance and speed.
Cessna expects takeoff distance to decrease by 10%, climb performance to improve by 32% and cruise speed to improve by 7%. With the new PT6A-140, available power increases from 675 to 867 shp. According to Cessna Caravan Business Leader Lannie O'Bannion, "the main point of the EX is that this is a major upgrade with a minimal cost to the customer."
The EX adds only $150,000 to the base price of the standard Grand Caravan. O'Bannion expects 5 EX aircraft to be delivered to customers by the end of 2012. In other news, Wipaire plans to certify the Grand Caravan on Wipline 8750 floats.
Cessna plans on continuing to offer the PT6A-114 (675 shp) powered Cessna 208B Grand Caravan, Caravan Amphibian and Caravan 675. The Caravan 675 is a shortened version of the Grand Caravan—the difference in length is approximately 4 ft.
For corporate operators, the Grand Caravan EX/B and 675 can be outfitted with the luxury Oasis interior. Wichita KS-based Yingling Aviation continues to install all executive Caravan interiors.
The Cessna 208 Caravan's product life now spans over 27 years. According to Cessna, the Caravan continues to find work with small revenue-making operators around the world. More than 2100 Caravans have been delivered worldwide, making it the world's most popular single-engine turboprop. In May 2012, Cessna announced that an additional Caravan production line would be opened in China to serve that market.
FedEx Express operates more than 250 Caravan Super Cargomasters delivering express packages throughout the US night after night. The Caravan fleet has an overall dispatch reliability rate of 99.8%.

The new black light bulbs in our overhead kitchen fluorescent light.
Opening the heavy desk drawer that he was previously unable to open and finding a veritable baby heaven of cables, CD's, and other forbidden items.
The many thunderstorms we had this week – he marvels at all the "wain" pouring down outside our screened patio, and jumps at the thunder.
Discovering my bright red lip smackers in my purse during a forbidden climb on the countertops, then sticking his finger all the way down the tube and smearing it on the countertops. Mama was not as enthusiastic.
The Backyardagains on TV – he's never watched them before, but now all I hear is "wow, bak-guard-gens, mama, wow"!
Pulling all the cushions off the couch and jumping on the (covered) springs – who knew?!
Always and forever, the ceiling fans – practically since birth, he has been amazed by them and continues to marvel at them every chance he gets.
The giant model of the yellow M&M guy at the grocery store, who also had the esteemed honor of having a song sung to him, consisting of "M&Ms, M&Ms…", but he's still little, so it's cute.
The giant balloons in the produce section of the same grocery store – it is "wow, bees" or "wow, melmo (Elmo)".
Also in the produce section, the cantaloupes were the subject of much "wow"-ing and exploration, ending with an attempt to bite them and toss them like a ball. Hmmmm.
Back at home, the drawing of triangles with any medium never fails to produce a "wow" and then a frantic scribbling and an "oh, no, triangle!" – well, at least he knows one shape, right?
The presentation of any messy food always gets a "wow" as well, accompanied by an attempt to either launch it across the room with a handy utensil or stick his hands in it and squish it between his fingers. Hence why his diet is mostly finger food.
The arrival of Daddy after a long day at work!

Campus Side with Spinner 3602012-07-17 1 Share Tweet
I wanna share some sides of my campus in Indonesia taken with my Spinner 360, enjoy!
It's my very first article on lomography.com, and I want to start it with a locations article on my campus, University of Indonesia.
In my campus, you can explore every single side of it to take pictures with your camera. I've already practiced a lot with my Spinner camera here and ended up with a lakeside scenery, urban life, some trees, and other things that you won't get to see in other universities in Indonesia.
More so, you can also get a view of the forest with tall trees or a view of the different five lakes in this university, or even take photos of modern and classic architecture..
I feel lucky to be able to study here and practice my photography skills but you can also practice your photography skills here even if you're not a student, because it's free to go inside end explore the entire campus. I'm sorry if I made any mistakes in my very first article. See 'ya in my next article!
The Spinner 360° goes beyond the confines of standard panoramic cameras. See everything around you (literally!), and be swept away by truly spectacular results. Head to our Online Shop and get your own Spinner 360°!

How a pet cat saved a boy's life in vicious dog attack
When this four-year-old boy was viciously attacked by a dog in his front yard, he had an unlikely rescuer - his pet cat! If you're not a cat person, you will be after seeing this dramatic video.
This column originally appeared on news.com.au. By Network Writers.
If you're not a cat person, you will be after seeing this video.
The Triantafilo family cat in California saved the day when it rushed to help the family's young son from a vicious dog attack.
Footage captured on a security camera on Wednesday shows four-year-old Jeremy riding his bike at the end of the driveway when he is savagely mauled by the mutt. The labrador/chow mix, which belonged to a neighbour, can be seen approaching from behind a car and suddenly pouncing. It pulls Jeremy off his bike, repeatedly biting his leg as the terrified child lies on the ground.
Incredibly, Tara the cat then rushes to Jeremy's aid – barreling into the dog, chasing it away then returning to check on the boy.
Watch the incredible video:
Cat hailed a hero
Jeremy, who had stitches and is recovering, told local station 23ABC: "Tara is my hero".
The eight-month-old dog – which escaped when the neighbours opened their driveway gates to drive out – was picked up by animal control and will be put down.
Jeremy with Tara in a picture tweeted by America's ABC.
Source: Supplied.
Jeremy's parents hailed Tara, with his dad Roger saying: "I've never seen a cat do that … It just shows how much she really has a family-oriented mind set."
Does your family own a pet cat or dog? Have they ever shown protectiveness for your family members?

Q: Macbeth Apparitions
The Shakespeare Conference: SHK 8.0253. Friday, 21 February 1997.
Date: Thursday, 20 Feb 1997 11:02:31 -0500
Subject: Macbeth Apparitions
I would appreciate, either on or off the list, hearing from anyone who
has seen or heard of a production of Macbeth in which the apparitions
(the bloody babies and etc...) were particularly well handled. My
director friend Tim Shaw will be producing the Scottish play in May and
is faced with a tight budget and an outdoor amphitheater type setting.
He does not want the apparitions to be silly. Any blood-curdling ideas?
Any ideas at all?

The Province of Ontario is a very generous supporter and promoter of graduate student excellence and offers a suite of lucrative scholarship programs through annual competitions that are administered by the provincial universities and the Council of Ontario Universities (COU).
The Government of Canada promotes high-quality research in a wide variety of disciplines and areas through its three funding agencies – the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR), the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC), and the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC). National foundations and trusts, created through the philanthropy of renowned Canadians, also offer prestigious scholarship and fellowship programs which aim to advance Canada's role in knowledge creation, innovation, and global leadership.
The following are featured funding opportunities that support international students applying to graduate research degrees at Western.
Our scholars go where the research takes them and Western has partnered with international institutions and agencies to support that experience via international exchange agreements and programs.
Graduate program personnel coordinate scholarship operations internally and together represent Western's front-line service team dedicated to assisting students and faculty throughout competition season.
This section provides details on how funds are transferred to you.
Graduate student payments are issued every Tuesday evening from the Student Center (beginning the second Tuesday in each term). When a graduate student is in a credit balance a payment can be issued in one of two ways:

Why Marriage: The History Shaping Today's Debate Over Gay Equality
by George Chauncey

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0465009581, Paperback)
Angry debate over gay marriage has divided the nation as no other issue since the Vietnam War. Why has marriage suddenly emerged as the most explosive issue in the gay struggle for equality? At times it seems to have come out of nowhere-but in fact it has a history. George Chauncey offers an electrifying analysis of the history of the shifting attitudes of heterosexual Americans toward gay people, from the dramatic growth in acceptance to the many campaigns against gay rights that form the background to today's demand for a constitutional amendment. Chauncey illuminates what's at stake for both sides of this contentious debate in this essential book for gay and straight readers alike.
(retrieved from Amazon Thu, 12 Mar 2015 18:22:10 -0400)
"George Chauncey, one of our country's preeminent historians of gay life shows how the gay quest for marriage rights resulted from generations of change in marriage itself as well as decades of struggle over gay rights. In an account of the changing place of lesbians and gay men in American society, he recalls the pervasive discrimination faced by lesbians and gay men only a few decades ago, when the federal government fired thousands of gay employees and restaurants were shut down merely for serving them. He shows how the AIDS crisis, the boom in lesbian and gay parenting, and the continuing discrimination faced by gay families - in insurance, pensions, and child custody struggles - led to the campaign for the rights and protections of marriage." "Chauncey provides an analysis of the shifting attitudes of heterosexual Americans toward gay people, from the dramatic growth in acceptance to the many campaigns against gay rights that form the background to today's demand for a constitutional amendment on marriage. He also develops a comparison between the religious opposition to interracial marriage and desegregation just fifty years ago and the sources of opposition to same-sex marriage today. Why Marriage? is an essential book for gay and straight readers alike."--BOOK JACKET.… (more)

About the Seasons Calculator
The Seasons Calculator calculates the time and date of the March equinox, the June solstice, the September equinox and the December solstice at a chosen location. These dates mark the beginning of the four seasons of the year: spring, summer, autumn (or fall) and winter.
©iStockphoto.com/joaquin croxatto
The Seasons Calculator Explained
The Seasons Calculator calculates the equinoxes and solstices for years as far back as 1 and up to the year 2099.
Simply select any location that is available in the World Clock and the calculator will adjust to the local time in that particular city. If the location is not specified, the times will be based on Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) or Greenwich Mean Time (GMT).The times shown will reflect any daylight saving observations in a selected location.
The dates shown for the calculations are primarily based on the Gregorian calendar. However, the Julian calendar is used to calculate dates that pre-date the Gregorian calendar, which was first introduced in 1582.
Seasons in the southern hemisphere are opposite to those in the northern hemisphere. For example, the March equinox, also popularly known as the vernal equinox in the northern hemisphere, marks the start of spring in the northern hemisphere but the start of autumn in the southern hemisphere. The same rule applies for the other three seasons.
March Equinox
The March equinox occurs when the sun crosses the true celestial equator – or the imaginary line in the sky above the Earth's equator – from south to north on a day between March 20 and 23. In other words, the sun moves north of the equator during the March equinox.
During the March equinox, the length of day is about 12 hours and eight to nine minutes in areas that are about 30 degrees north or south of the equator, while areas that are 60 degrees north or south of the equator receive daylight for about 12 hours and 16 minutes. Regions around the equator have a daylight period of about 12 hours and six-and-a-half minutes during the March equinox.
The March equinox is an important event in many calendars, as it coincides with a variety of cultural events, religious observances or customs. Read more about the March equinox and holidays, observances and customs that occur during this time of the year.
June Solstice
The June solstice is also referred to as the summer solstice in the northern hemisphere and the winter solstice in the southern hemisphere. This is the time when the sun is at its furthest point from the equator – it reaches its northernmost point on a day between June 20 and 22, and the Earth's north pole tilts towards the sun.
The June solstice is also known as the northern solstice because it occurs when the sun is directly over the Tropic of Cancer in the northern hemisphere. This is the longest day for those living north of this latitude. North of the Arctic Circle the "midnight sun" can be observed, while locations south of the Antarctic Circle do not receive any direct sunlight. Read more about the June solstice and customs and traditions associated with this event.
September Equinox
The September equinox is also referred to as the autumnal, autumn or fall equinox in the northern hemisphere. It is known as the spring or vernal equinox in the southern hemisphere as countries including South Africa and Australia enter the spring season. It occurs on a day between September 21 and 24 when the Earth's axis of rotation is perpendicular to the imaginary line connecting the centers of the Earth and the sun.
During the September equinox the sun crosses the celestial equator and moves southward. At this point in time, regions around the equator have a daylight length of about 12 hours and six-and-a-half minutes. Read more about the September equinox and customs and holidays associated with this event.
December Solstice
The December solstice is also called the winter solstice in the northern hemisphere and the summer solstice in the southern hemisphere. It occurs on a day between December 20 and 23. At this point the sun appears directly above the Tropic of Capricorn, and the days are shortest at locations north of the Tropic of Cancer. South of the Antarctic Circle the sun is now visible 24 hours per day. Read more about the December solstice and customs and traditions relating to the event.
Local Time Conversion
The seasons calculator automatically takes into account daylight saving time at the selected location, except for UTC/GMT. To display the seasons for a location within this timezone (e.g. London) please select the city - not UTC/GMT. If you select a future year, the results may be wrong due to future changes in a country's daylight saving time rules. For years before the introduction of standard time zones, the calculator may display "local mean solar time", which is an average yearly value based on the moment when the sun passes a location's meridian. In reality, this moment may differ by up to 17 minutes from the average passing time.
Calendar Change
For many countries, but not all, the change from the Julian to the Gregorian calendar will be visible as about 10-13 days are missing in the respective year. In many countries that did not use the Julian calendar or the Gregorian calendar until recently, the Gregorian calendar is used for all years after 1582 (when the Gregorian calendar was first adopted in some European countries). For years before 1582 the Julian calendar is used. Although in many regions the calendar year did not always begin on January 1, this calculator always displays January 1 as the first day of the year for the sake of simplicity.
Calculation Accuracy
For years between 1700 and 2100, the accuracy of the times calculated should be within one minute of the real time. For years before 1700, accuracy will be less as we calculate back in time.

It is the first time the start of the war is being marked in Beirut, where a national unity festival has been organised.
During the last 15 years of peace, the anniversary of the war went by almost unnoticed.
But this year, there is no ignoring it.
Posters have been put up across Lebanon calling on people to unite, while clips on television remind the Lebanese of the horrors of war with the message "never again".
Peace march
The festival was organised by Nora Jumblatt, the wife of Druze opposition leader Walid Jumblatt, and Bahiyya Hariri, sister of Rafik Hariri, the former prime minister who was assassinated two months ago.
The event has a definite opposition feel to it and pro-government politicians have been mostly absent.
But the six-day festival has attracted thousands of Lebanese eager to take part in this first stab at national reconciliation.
There has been a unity run in the newly-rebuilt heart of Beirut, while joint Muslim and Christian prayers were held on Tuesday night.
A competition has been launched to create a memorial for the 150,000 people who died during the conflict.
And a peace march will also take place along the demarcation line which separated east and west Beirut during the war.
The festival will end with a concert by the popular singer, Majida Rumi, known for her patriotic songs.

New Dance Group Menu
Members of the New Dance Group in Improvisation, 1932. (New Dance Group Collection, Music Division, Library of Congress)
Founded in 1932 by left-wing students from the New York Wigman School, the first New Dance Group program announced, "Dance is a Weapon of the Class Struggle." It sponsored concerts that took place in union halls and on the concert stage. The school offered inexpensive dance classes to professionals, workers, and children. It joined the Workers Dance League and allied itself with other groups led by Anna Sokolow, Edith Segal's Red Dancers, and others. Throughout the 1940s and 1950s the Group remained committed to social justice. It was a major training ground in New York City for African-American dancers, including Pearl Primus and Donald McKayle. Its faculty, which included such outstanding teachers and choreographers as Jane Dudley, Sophie Maslow, Jean Erdman, Jean-Léon Destiné, and Hadassah, challenged the New York concert dance to include a variety of influences. The curriculum encompassed forms from Afro-Caribbean and Middle Eastern dance to ballet. The Group supported luminary companies including the Dudley-Maslow-Bales trio and Mary Anthony that created humanist and political works as opposed to purely formal choreography. New Dance Group sold its building and supervised the construction of new rental studios in mid-Manhattan, but deficits mounted and the NDG board elected to close operations in 2009. The studios were then taken over by the Joyce Theater who continues to operate the facility under the name DANY Studios.

UN and UNICEF take humanitarian action in response to Kyrgyzstan crisis
Flash appeal seeks emergency fundingBy Tim Ledwith
NEW YORK, USA, 18 June 2010 – As the crisis in Kyrgyzstan enters its second week, there are reports that violence against ethnic Uzbeks in the southern part of the country is gradually declining. However, the situation remains volatile and could still deteriorate.
As of today, 192 people are officially confirmed dead and about 2,000 have been wounded in southern Kyrgyzstan, including many in and around the cities of Osh and Jalal-Abad. But the country's interim president has been quoted in the media stating that the actual number of casualties could be 10 times higher.
Meanwhile, an estimated 300,000 people have been displaced in Kyrgyzstan. More than 90,000 others have taken refuge at camps across the border in neighbouring Uzbekistan.
In response to the crisis, the United Nations has initiated a humanitarian action plan that is evolving as conditions on the ground allow. A UN flash appeal issued today seeks $71 million in funding from international donors to address the needs of more than a million people affected by the ethnic violence that broke out in Kyrgyzstan on 10 June. UNICEF's portion of the appeal amounts to nearly $9.8 million.
Needs of displaced families
Because of continued sporadic fighting, the specific needs of the displaced population in Kyrgyzstan have been hard to assess so far – though there is a broad consensus that their situation is grave.
"It's very difficult to have accurate information," said UNICEF Representative in the Kyrgyz Republic Jonathan Veitch, referring to the conditions faced by children and women in the south.
While most of those displaced inside Kyrgyzstan are thought to be staying with host families, Mr. Veitch added, tens of thousands may need shelter, safe water or other support. "We are receiving reports of diarrhoea cases resulting from limited access to clean water, and we are particularly concerned about it," he said.
Another key concern is the status of children who have been separated from their families and need to be reunited with parents or other caregivers.
"It will be very important to start family tracing," said Mr. Veitch, "linking up children who been reported alone in Osh and other places with their parents, who may have come across the border or could be internally displaced persons in Kyrgyzstan."
Emergency supplies
To aid the displaced, UNICEF is dispatching 40 metric tonnes of emergency health, water, sanitation and hygiene supplies from its global supply hub in Copenhagen. The supplies are scheduled to reach Kyrgyzstan by air tomorrow for overland distribution to affected areas. An additional shipment of 40 metric tonnes will follow early next week.
In Uzbekistan, UNICEF has already delivered several truckloads of emergency supplies to refugee camps and is now procuring $1.5 million in additional aid for refugee children and families there.
Although the level violence inside Kyrgyzstan has gone down, tensions remain high. Pending security arrangements, UNICEF plans to open an office in Osh soon, and additional staff are expected to arrive shortly to provide urgently needed surge capacity. The agency's crisis-response plan will be revised and updated as the security situation permits a better assessment of the needs of women and children at risk.
