Some time ago, my partner of three years had a cyber affair in an internet chatroom while working away from home. I found emails and the transcript of his chat sessions, which had an S&M theme. He said he'd been lonely, and ended the cyber relationship immediately. We talked through a lot of issues, became closer and got engaged, but I still find it hard to trust him when he is away. How can I get over this? Also, can we have a good sexual relationship if he has this S&M tendency and I don't?
If he was secretly having cybersex, it's natural for you to wonder what else he has lied about. But it's not inevitable that he has more fibs up his sleeve. He does want to stay with you, but his excuse - that he did this because he was lonely - is awful: it is analogous to saying it's not his fault. Does this mean it's yours?
Cyber affairs range from role-playing (with sexual chat) to using webcams and masturbating in front of your online lover. They count as cheating. You have had the honest discussions but the trust takes longer to return. You may need to agree parameters: that he calls you when he is away, say, or doesn't hide with his computer for hours at home. Maybe he needs to change his job if it makes him vulnerable to virtual affairs.
Most of the data on cybersex comes from surveys that may overestimate its popularity. In an often quoted survey - by Dr Al Cooper from the San Jose Marital and Sexuality Centre - of 9,265 cybersex users, 83% were classified as recreational (with no compulsive tendencies), 11% were moderately sexually compulsive, 5% were sexually compulsive and 1% were specifically compulsive about cybersex. You need to establish which category your fiancé is in.
His interest in sadomasochism may be unnerving, relying as it does on humiliation and pain for sexual satisfaction. S&M is still classified as a psychiatric problem, particularly if it's an essential for someone to get aroused. Fans of S&M believe it will be de-medicalised in the same way that being gay has been. A survey in the Archives of Sexual Behaviour of 162 men and 22 women who are into S&M found that 88% used bondage and 81% had tried flagellation. Leather and handcuffs are almost mandatory. There's no evidence that S&M is innate; it's a sexual preference, but that doesn't mean your fiancé can't enjoy sex without it. As long as he is aroused by sex that you both enjoy, then your relationship should survive. If you can regain your intimacy and trust, you may have sex that's exciting and not just satisfactory. I really hope so.

RSA Laboratories
6.4.1 Can the RSA algorithm be exported from the United States?
Export of the RSA algorithm falls under the same U.S. laws as all other cryptographic products (see the beginning of Section 6.4).
Earlier, the RSA algorithm used for authentication was more easily exported than RSA used for privacy. In the former case, export was allowed regardless of key (modulus) size, although the exporter had to demonstrate that the product could not be easily converted to use the RSA algorithm for encryption. The RSA algorithm for export was generally limited to 512 bits for key management purposes, while the use of RSA for data encryption was generally prohibited.
Regardless of U.S. export policy, RSA has been available abroad in non-U.S. products for several years.

Colin Firth Set For Devil's Knot
Joining the West Memphis Three drama
As director Atom Egoyan puts the pieces (and the funding) together for Devil's Knot, the new dramatic film based on the West Memphis Three case, he's turned to someone he's worked with before to fill one of the leading roles: Colin Firth.
The actor, who co-starred in Egoyan's Where The Truth Lies, is on board to play private investigator Ron Lax, who has been a key crusader for the three men at the centre of the case. He agreed to help build the defense evidence for Damien Echols, Jason Baldwin and Jessie Misskelly Jr after they were accused of, and imprisoned for, the murder of three eight-year-old boys in 1993. The trio served 17 years in prison (with Echols on death row) before being freed after a long campaign to prove their innocence.
Last December, Reese Witherspoon was cast as Pam Hobbs, the mother of one of the victims, who started out thinking that the three were guilty, but eventually came to regard them as wrongly accused.
While The Exorcism Of Emily Rose team of Scott Derrickson and Paul Boardman adapted the first draft of the script from Mara Leveritt's 2003 book Devil's Knot: The True Story Of The West Memphis Three, Egoyan has been working with Boardman on a rewrite and they're now looking for the cash to get it started.

Jerusalem (CNSNews.com) - Israel has decided not to sign onto the treaty creating the International Criminal Court, fearing Arab states will use the new forum to clobber Israel.
On July 1, the ICC - located in The Hague - is supposed to start accepting complaints against individuals accused of genocide, crimes against humanity, war crimes and aggression. Judges and prosecutors will be chosen by the end of 2003, after which the trials can begin.
Ironically, terrorism is not included in the list of international crimes over which the ICC will have jurisdiction. That's because drafters of the treaty could not agree on a definition of terrorism.
Israel's Attorney General Elyakim Rubinstein said Israel will not ratify the treaty but has "nothing to hide."
Foreign Ministry legal advisor Allan Baker said that Israel was among the first to suggest the idea of an international criminal court decades ago - "to fight impunity for people who carry out crimes against humanity."
As such, it was incumbent upon Israel to sign the treaty bringing the ICC into force, he said. But Israel decided against ratifying the treaty, something that would put Israel under the ICC's jurisdiction.
"We're in a genuine dilemma," Baker said in a telephone interview. "We think it's an honorable, genuine institution, [but] what worries us is the danger of politicization."
The idea of a treaty was first initiated some 50 years ago following World War II. It was shelved a short time later, with the advent of the Cold War, when the U.S. and the former Soviet Union couldn't agree on a definition for crimes against humanity.
After the end of the Cold War, the treaty was taken off the shelf and the text was finalized at a conference in Rome in 1998.
The problem for Israel was that during the conference, representatives from Arab states added various political provisions to the statutes, Baker said.
For instance, in the list of war crimes - along with rape, shelling of civilians and torture - Arab states inserted an article about transferring people to occupied territory. Although it does not name Israel specifically, the article was drafted in such a way that it clearly applies to Israel, Baker said.
The Palestinians accuse Israel of war crimes for having built Jewish communities in the Gaza Strip and West Bank, lands Israel captured from Egypt and Jordan during the 1967 Six-Day war.
As many as 400,000 Israelis live in those areas where the Palestinians hope to establish an independent state.
Although it is not a war crime to live in those areas, Arab states may try to accuse leaders in the government of "population transfer" based on the Geneva Convention. Israel says the convention doesn't apply.
But a bigger problem for Israel is its struggle against terrorism, Baker said.
"Israel's problem today is, because we are fighting an ongoing war against terrorism," [military actions] could potentially be interpreted as war crimes in cases such as Jenin."
During the month of April, Israel mounted a massive military operation in Palestinian Authority controlled areas following a series of deadly terror attacks that killed more than 100 Israelis in a month. Israel went into Palestinian-controlled areas to arrest wanted militants and destroy the terrorist infrastructure imbedded in the areas.
In the Jenin refugee camp, Israeli troops fought pitched battles against gunmen, who had extensively booby-trapped the camp and refused to surrender.
Following the fight, Palestinians accused Israel of war crimes and committing a massacre - an accusation that was never substantiated by any relief or human rights group that later entered the camp.
Although the Palestinians will not be able to bring formal accusation against Israel as long as they are not a country, the Arab states, even if they do not ratify the treaty, can still bring complaint to the court.
"There are indications that Arab [states] intend to use the court to fight against Israel," Baker said. The Arab League has appointed a committee, which is already preparing a list of Israelis to be prosecuted, he added.
Israel is not the only country that is wary of the possibility of the abuse of the court. Of the 127 countries that signed the Rome Constitution, only 67 have ratified it.
None of the Arab states have accepted it except Jordan, Baker said. And others such as the U.S., Australia, China, Russia, Turkey and Japan have all pulled back from ratifying the treaty.
"A lot of States want to wait and see what happens," Baker said. A lot of the European countries, which have already ratified the treaty, are concerned that the court could be used politically, which would harm the judicial nature of the court, he added.
It will depend on who is appointed as judges and prosecutors, he said. "We can only hope that they won't make the mistake of [becoming] a U.N.-style Israel-bashing forum," he said.

Fellow Conservatives, I started this web site four years ago in November 2008, after the worst defeat for Republicans since the beginning of the Reagan era. My reason for starting it was very simple: The Republican Party had to reinvent itself because we had lost touch with mainstream America. That has been my goal and that is what I have endeavored to do both in my writings and with the writings of my colleagues.
Apparently, I wasn't the only person that reacted to the 2008 massacre. A groundswell started after that election which led to the formation of the Tea Party and additional strong conservative grass roots movements. It started when the general public got sick of the stimulus, the deficit spending and then the passing of Obamacare, the largest attack on our freedom in this country since its inception. About four months ago, the Supreme Court in a surprising 5-4 decision determined that Obamacare was Constitutional; a decision I still cannot reckon intellectually, but I and the rest of the country have to accept.
That anger generated by the 2008 election and the ramifications of it led to the Republican sweep in 2010. The far swing to the left by Congress and the President, to echo a famous Japanese Admiral after Pearl Harbor, "did nothing but wake a sleeping giant." We had proven we were still in the majority in the country. We had proven this country was still center-right. We took over the House and almost succeeded in taking over the Senate. And, we would have if we didn't nominate two candidates that were complete mistakes in Delaware and Nevada.
At the state level, we turned many Governorships and Legislatures red for the first time in decades. Blue states such as Wisconsin and New Jersey had Republican governors who vowed to change the way the system works. Both Scott Walker in Wisconsin and Chris Christie in New Jersey proved that actions led to success and the system began to change.
Then, we got lazy.
After a hard battle for the nomination, Mitt Romney became our standard bearer to lead us back into the White House. He chose Paul Ryan as his running mate.
And, we got lazy.
The excitement generated after the 2008 election and 2010 Republican sweep just doesn't seem to be there. I can tell you just from the hits generated by this blog that there is a malaise. People seem to be more concerned about peripheral issues in this election than about the economy and foreign affairs. In fact, I can tell you that even with the attacks on the US Embassies this past week, any article written about foreign affairs generates almost no readers. Meanwhile if we write something controversial or something with a title that reeks of yellow journalism, the numbers are through the roof.
This sort of malaise is not going to win back the White House.
Right now, the poll numbers are not good. Mitt Romney is not generating the excitement Barack Obama generated in 2008. And, to be frankly honest, no one expected him too. As Charles Krauthammer said, all Romney has to do is be Romney to win. But, it's not working. Right now, the polls show a defeat for Romney is in the works. The most unpopular President since Jimmy Carter. The most left wing President ever. The worst economy since the Great Depression – And, a collapse in his foreign policy right in the election season. This shouldn't be happening. We shouldn't be losing.
So, my dear fellow Conservatives. It's time to get mad. It's time to get as mad as we were when the Tea Party formed. It's time to get as mad as we were when Obamacare passed. It's time to get as mad as we can in the next seven weeks. The energy of the anger will spread and it will cause us to come out to the polls in record numbers and defeat Barack Obama. We must win in Ohio, Florida, Virginia and North Carolina to even have a chance. We are only ahead in one of those states right now – North Carolina. So, if we don't get mad now, we will have another four years of the current occupant of the White House.
Get mad and get mad quick. If not, I can guarantee you this country will not be the same in 2016.

Leg spinners: the cast of Dancing with the Stars.
Seven jumps on the ballroom bandwagon with its own celebrity dance show. Richard Jinman dons his tap shoes.
Any man who can do the splits in a snug pair of jeans has my admiration. Hungarian-born dance instructor Csaba Szirmai, 26, can not only perform this button-popping feat, he actually smiles as he does it. Szirmai snaps off the floor like a bungee cord and grasps his dance partner, TV vet Dr Katrina Warren, by the waist. Standing in the centre of the dance floor at Sydenham's Latin Motion Academy they're adding some ambitious new moves to their cha-cha.
"Am I going to go all the way down?" inquires Warren, 36, who admits she knows more about chihuahuas than cha-chas. Szirmai ponders the question.
"Hmm. It depends how far your legs will bend," he says.
Ballroom dancing, despite the popularity of the 1992 movie Strictly Ballroom, still seems like an odd pursuit to the uninitiated: a high-camp world of false eyelashes, fake tans and unnatural smiles. But tangos and TV go together like Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers. Strictly Dancing has been a hit for the ABC and Channel Seven is about to unleash its own ballroom blitz called Dancing with the Stars.
Based on a popular BBC program called Strictly Come Dancing, it teams eight celebrities with their own professional dance instructor. The stars are given four weeks to learn a couple of dance styles, then let loose in a weekly competition that Seven will broadcast live at 7.30pm on Tuesdays. Assessed by studio judges, including Paul Mercurio and Todd McKenney, and viewers at home, the week's lowest-scoring couple will be eliminated from the second episode onwards.
In Britain, more than 2.5 million votes were cast for a team of celebrity dancers that included opera singer Lesley Garrett and EastEnders cast member Christopher Parker.
Seven's version of this dance-to-the-death will be contested by some familiar, and not so familiar, names. Besides Warren, they include Home and Away actor Bec Cartwright and one of that soap's former cast members, Justin Melvey, model Gabrielle Richens and sprinter Matt Shirvington. Olympic gold medal-winning rower James Tomkins, Blue Heelers actor John Wood and politician Pauline Hanson complete the line-up.
The former One Nation leader is taking dance lessons - "please explain!" - with 24-year-old instructor Salvatore Vecchio. It's a tight schedule as she's also seeking election to the Senate as an independent. Hanson makes it clear she wants to win both competitions.
Dancing with the Stars would have appealed to her late mother, she says, and that convinced her to take part. "If dad can turn on the TV and see me dancing and he thinks it's mum dancing, that would be the most fantastic thing," Hanson says in a press release. "I'm not going into this half-hearted - I'd love to win."
Pauline Hanson and Salvatore Vecchio.
The show will be hosted by Daryl Somers and Strictly Ballroom star Sonia Kruger. It will be Somers' first regular TV gig since the final episode of Hey, Hey It's Saturday aired in November 1999. By his own account he hasn't missed TV that much. So what was it about Dancing with the Stars that lured him back? "I watched tapes of the English show and I got hooked on it," he says. "I ran my fun-o-meter over it and it went into the red, so I thought I'd do it."
Somers insists Dancing with the Stars is a variety program not another reality TV show. "People aren't voted off, they're voted for," he says, a distinction that seems important to him. "I think Dancing with the Stars will stimulate the culture of ballroom dancing," he says. "In the UK, people said, 'Gee that looks like fun.' They saw that the dancers weren't standing 10 feet apart and just throwing themselves around."
Can he cut a rug himself? "I was always a mover," he says. "I had a feel for it but, when I think back to my school days, I was the guy playing drums in the band and laughing at the guys learning to dance."
Somers says he's been focusing on charity work and "sitting on a couple of boards in Canberra" during his hiatus. He's also been working out with a personal trainer and has shed 15 kilograms since January. Not, as it turns out, because he wants to look good in a tuxedo, but because he's competing in a 10-kilometre run at the Masters Games in Alice Springs this month. "I'm not necessarily back," he says. "I'm doing eight shows and then we'll see what happens after that."
Somers met most of the Dancing with the Stars contestants in Sydney recently and was impressed by their progress. They're already grappling with ballroom dancing's nuances - the correct position of the hands and head, for example - as well as the basic steps. Wood is "quite good" and Shirvington and Tomkins are "certainly competitive". Somers has yet to meet Hanson but hears she's "very determined".
He doesn't mention Warren but, having seen her cha-cha, this reporter would certainly consider her a wild card.
Warren says she was initially horrified when Seven asked her if she would take part in the show. The former model took ballet lessons when she was five but quit when the instructor told her she had "strange feet". Now, after three intensive weeks of ballroom lessons - contestants have to commit to a minimum of 10 hours tuition a week - she's determined not to be eliminated in the early rounds.
"The first couple of weeks I was terrified and really struggling," she says. "I'm really enjoying it now but the hardest bit for me is having the right attitude. Fun, boppy dances like the jive are fine. But the ones where you have to feel the music, swing the hips and keep the right facial expression, just make me want to giggle."
Giggling isn't recommended. Nor is treating the competition as a bit of a joke.
A couple of contestants tried that approach in the BBC series and were marked harshly by the judges. It wasn't strictly ballroom.
"We're being judged as if we were professionals," says Warren, who intends to be circumspect but still wants her effusive personality to come through in her dancing.
After spending much of her professional life in critter-friendly clothes, Warren says she's enjoying ballroom's extravagant costumes. Each contestant is having their outfits hand-made and she's convinced her girl-next-door image will be redefined by the barely-there number she's wearing for the cha-cha.
"I'm a bit worried about a wardrobe malfunction," she says. "I've seen a diagram and it's definitely skimpy. The Hollywood tape will be coming out."
But ballroom dancing has many moods. The following week Warren will step into a demure gown for the quickstep.
"What's the worst thing that can happen?" she says, clearly a little nervous about her live debut. "Well, I guess it would be to completely forget my routine or completely muck it up."
Szirmai, an Australian salsa and hip-hop champion, is anxious to shore her up. She has mastered the cha-cha and quickstep in three weeks, he says. Most beginners would take at least three months.
"She's brilliant," he whispers as Warren perfects a twirl out on the floor. "She has the determination, the rhythm and the hunger for it."
Dancing with the Stars begins on Seven tonight at 7.30pm.

Relaxing, but no one knows the score

Steve Price's knee injury cast a shadow over an otherwise low-key recovery session for the grand finalists, writes James MacSmith.
With the elation of the night before still thick in the air, the Bulldogs celebrated their passage through to the grand final with their own hybrid game of football golf yesterday as skipper Steve Price spent the morning in the hyperbaric chamber.
Plastic chairs and witch's hats were strewn around Belmore Oval acting as tees and greens with players kicking footballs in and around them. While the game may not be the secret to the Dogs' success this year, it is a recovery aid regularly used by the club. Except it seems no one really knows how to play it. "I don't know how you score it but it is like the first game at St Andrews," media manager Brad Clyde said. "It might just take off, you never know."
During a low-key recovery, Price was the first player to walk from the dressing rooms. Looking tired, somewhat despondent and with a noticeable limp, he clambered into the stands where he sat for 10 minutes before returning to the rooms to spend the first of what is sure to be many sessions inside the hyperbaric chamber.
"It's a little bit stiff and sore today," Price said of his injured left knee. "My only hope to play on Sunday is to speed up the process. That will mean lots of icing and lots of time in the chamber. They are the only things I can do and I will have to stay off the leg as much as I can."
After taking the captaincy when Price was forced from the field, Andrew Ryan is the man likely to lead the Dogs in the decider if Price is unfit. Yesterday, Ryan was enjoying the start to grand-final week and football golf. "It's just a game that we play from time to time, it's just a bit of fun," he said. "You'd imagine Shifty [Brent Sherwin] would be the Tiger Woods of it, but there are a couple of other blokes who play off scratch."
When Ryan left the session, he had an icebag on his right elbow due to a hyperextension he suffered two weeks ago, but it was hardly a worry on Saturday night. "I've never been captain before so it was a bit unexpected but there are so many leaders in the side it made it easy for me. I'm not thinking about being captain next week because we're all hoping Steve will be right."
Second-rower Willie Mason declared after the emotional win the Bulldogs were "better mates than any other people in the comp". As if to prove it, the players all gathered in a private room at the Canterbury Leagues Club yesterday afternoon to watch the second preliminary final and discover who their grand final opponents would be.
"We've always been tight, we're all really good mates," prop Mark O'Meley said. "People can write and say what they want about us but after training we're often hanging out in a group together instead of just heading home like some other clubs might. We want to play well for each other and we want to win for each other and we'll all just soak up this whole week and enjoy the experience ... we're just going to enjoy it as a bunch of good mates should."
But if the Bulldogs can win the grand final this Sunday - a finale they have been aching to play since the salary cap scandal of 2002 almost certainly deprived them of the chance that year - it should ensure they will be golfing buddies, too, for years to come.

Survivors and families sue US warning centre
Page Tools
The US federal agency that operates the Pacific Tsunami Warning Centre is being sued by Indian Ocean tsunami survivors and relatives of victims.
The suit alleges the centre and other defendants did not do enough to protect people from the December 26 tsunami, which killed as many as 300,000 people throughout southern Asia.
The lawsuit does not seek damages, but instead asks the court to preserve evidence for the plaintiffs so they can decide whether to pursue damages, a lawyer said.
"At least they should have the option to know what is going on," said Edward Fagan, the US lawyer for the plaintiffs group, which includes at least 58 European survivors and family members of people killed in the disaster.
The lawsuit claims the Thai Government is destroying and concealing evidence that will prove its officials knew of the approaching tsunami but chose not to issue a warning fearing its effect on the country's tourism industry. The suit was filed last week in US District Court for the Southern District of New York.
Named as defendants are the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Thailand's government, its Meteorological Department and the Accor group, the French owner of the Sofitel hotel chain, which owns a beachfront tourist hotel in Phuket, Thailand.
NOAA's Pacific Tsunami Warning Centre monitors seismic and ocean conditions in the Pacific Basin and issues warnings to member nations. The Thai Meteorological Department is the country's weather forecasting agency.
The Ewa Beach centre has been criticised for not being more aggressive about warning southern Asian nations after they were alerted that a 9.0-magnitude earthquake occurred off Indonesia.
NOAA officials refused comment on the lawsuit, but they previously defended the centre by saying it was not set up to warn nations outside the Pacific Rim about potential tsunamis.

President Obama and Mitt Romney are using the Supreme Court's health care ruling to raise money for their respective campaigns.
"Obamacare upheld. Elections have consequences," reads the screen on Romney's website asking for campaign donations.
Romney spokeswoman Andrea Saul tweeted the Republican received more than $2 million and more than 20,000 donations, as of about 4:50 p.m. ET.
Romney once again vowed he will repeal President Obama's health care law, which was upheld as constitutional today in a 5-4 decision by the high court.
Obama's campaign sent out its own fundraising appeal before the court's decision was announced this morning. Campaign manager Jim Messina said in his fundraising pitch that no matter what the justices said, "today is an important day to have Barack Obama's back."

Saturday's split decision victory for Timothy Bradley over Manny Pacquiao was one of the worst decisions boxing has seen in a long time. The stats, the viewers, and the damage all told the same story: Pac Man beat Bradley convincingly. Sure, there were plenty of rounds that were close, but there weren't enough for Manny to have lost. Heck, even Bradley seemed surprised he had won.
Asked after the fight if he felt he won, Bradley expressed skepticism.
"Every round was pretty close. I got to go home and view the tape and see if I really won," he said.
He apparently wasn't the only one from his corner who was stunned. According to SI's Chris Mannix, promoter Bob Arum said that Bradley's manager had it 8 rounds to 4 in favor of Pacquiao.
Let's add things up for a second: Pacquiao felt he won, everyone watching thought Pacquiao won, Bradley's manager thought Pacquiao won, and Bradley wasn't even convinced he had won the fight. That all being the case, how on earth could Bradley have won the fight? You know the answer, so I don't even have to say it.

Thom Yorke wants to finish an Atoms For Peace album by the end of this year. Recordings with Flea and Nigel Godrich features a lot of solo stuff too.
In a Rolling Stone interview Thom Yorke talked about Radiohead's upcoming plans, but also on a follow-up on The Eraser, played live with his other band Atoms For Peace last year.
Thom Yorke is determined to finish his new Atoms for Peace album by the end of the year. It is likely to feature recordings from the sessions Yorke did in 2010 with his touring band of that name, whose members include Radiohead producer Nigel Godrich and bassist Flea of the Red Hot Chili Peppers. The album has "a lot of solo stuff as well," Yorke adds. But, he confesses, "It's not good enough yet." He and Godrich "were excited about it for so long, then we kind of lost our way. So we're taking some steps back."
Producer of Radiohead's and Thom Yorke's albums and part of Atoms For Peace added: "The genesis was more like The Eraser – Thom and I in the studio," Godrich says, referring to Yorke's 2006 solo album. "The idea was to generate the music, then record the band. We did that. Some of it worked. We also went back to some of the electronic stuff. It's still in flux. We're waiting for the lightning bolt to strike."
In an earlier interview in that same Rolling Stone, Red Hot Chili Peppers bassist Flea talked about the forthcoming album:
"At the end of the tour we went into a studio for three days and just jammed – totally improvising," says Flea. "Thom and Nigel have taken that stuff and done shit with it. I've heard little bits and pieces. I have no idea when it's going to come out. Not real soon though."
Flea says that many people have the wrong perception of Yorke. "People always think about him and talk about as this really cerebral artist," he says. "Especially when we were playing together. People would go, 'Thom is so cerebral and Flea is just an animal.' But Thom is the type of musician who doesn't think at all. He goes totally on feeling and intuition. Whereas I'm like, 'You can try a G7 chord with a diminished fifth, that might be proper.' My point is that he's such a beautiful, natural and exciting musician. Also, his relationship with Nigel is so cool, Nigel being this organizational, producery-type guy. They're going to have something incredible. I have complete faith in them."
He refuses to describe the sound of the new material. "I kinda feel like it's not really my place to talk about that stuff," he says. "The mystery should be the mystery." He does think they will tour again at some point. "I imagine that will probably happen," he says. "I hope that happens. I just have a warm place in my heart and my mind and my balls for the whole fucking concept."

Women Rule, According To Diesel
At the Diesel Jeans store in Paris, a new window display shows a female doll holding a very multicultural group of shirtless male dolls on leashes like slaves. Behind her, a slogan reads, "Women make the world go round." This suggestion aims to put women on top, but does it? It sure is funny and eye-catching, but potentially has a negative and offensive subtext. Diesel's advertorial agenda seems to read more like "Women's money makes the world go round."
What do you think? Hilarious or just too weird? [IPreferParis.net]

This is an esoteric question, but one thing I've noticed about Muay Thai fighters, both from Thailand and overseas, amatuer and professional is how surprisingly skinny their legs and calves are and how undeveloped their lower body seems proportionally to their upper body.
I know that muscle size and tone definitely does not automatically guarantee adequate muscle strength, but if you look at boxers, MMA guys, rugby/soccer players and so on who all need strength, endurance and a fair bit of agility in their lower body, their legs look proportional and "normal" in comparison to their upper body; even the small, lean people in those disciplines who aren't very bulky upstairs don't have legs that seemingly resmble match-sticks, whereas in Muay Thai, it looks like the norm in all weight-categories.
Is there a conditioning/medical/cultural/other reason for this phenomenon in Muay Thai?

Bad news. I checked some of the serial backups of my kobo going back to firmware 1.9.5 and I have NO covers that do not have at least a slight margin on the right edge. Most have margins on the left, right and top. Only the Kepubs have full covers and I am sure they are downloaded separately to the Kepub files since when those books are downloaded and installed as Adobe DRM files you get a different, more generic cover!
I also found out that previous to firmware version 1.9.5, the kepub covers were in color. After 1.9.6, they are also in B/W like side loaded book covers.
I think that currently the best you can do is to add a small white border to the cover to mask the slight (in some cases) margin that is added.
I will try and experiment with different cover settings and will get back with the best cover to border settings I find.
You can always go the hard route and replace the 355x530 file with your cover directly on the Kobo. That works as I am using a custom file for the book I am currently reading. However, this is a pain to do every time.

Running silent
726's disappearance has highlighted longstanding concerns in the environmental community over sheep grazing in the Centennials, specifically the grazing done by the USSES. Nonprofits sued the station before to conduct a full environmental impact statement, which was due out last summer and has yet to be released. Now the USSES is headed back to court, facing a demand for a new biological opinion and a temporary injunction against sheep grazing on its allotments in the Centennials. 726 is merely serving as a reminder of why plaintiffs have been so critical.
"I think we were already headed that way," Meyer says of the litigation. "But this just reaffirmed the idea that they need to revisit whether sheep should be grazed in that area."
Calls to USSES station manager Greg Lewis for comment in this story went unreturned.
Bill West suspects the targeting of the sheep station might be due to its historic silence. West says the USSES and Lewis tend to keep a low profile. If they wanted to change public opinion and avoid the blame game in situations like the disappearance of 726, they might want to "stand tall and be a savior to the sheep industry."
"I think that's become a problem," West says. "They're back on their heels too much, and nobody's got a view of them on this side of the mountains as part of the community."
That silence would seem to explain why the station has long been the center of rumors and conspiracy theories. The draft environmental impact statement for the USSES references past studies that estimate "a substantial amount of grizzly bear mortality might occur from unreported sheep-grizzly bear conflicts and subsequent poaching of grizzly bears (by sheep herders) in order to reduce economic losses. To some extent, the belief that this still occurs and is applicable to the Sheep Station activities persists in the small towns and restaurants that surround the Centennial Mountains." The document does, however, add that unreported grizzly mortalities on the USSES "are unlikely to occur today."
What Hagenbarth now fears, amid the fallout from 726's disappearance, is a push to the other extreme: giving wildlife precedence over people. Environmentalists are targeting the USSES for now. Hagenbarth is convinced that he's next. He says there's plenty of room for both ranchers and an expanding grizzly population, but feels that the disappearance of one bear will eventually be used to push him off the land. "I can't afford to spend a lot of money fighting them," he says.
Meyer insists that's not the end goal. What happened to 726 "wasn't terribly surprising," he says, again doubting the law enforcement perspective that 726 could still be out there, alive and collarless. But Cottonwood and other environmental firms already had their concerns with the USSES.
"We've never said that we're against all grazing, and we're not," Meyer says. "I'm all for keeping small operations on the landscape. I don't want to put people out of work … That's not what I'm interested in. But I'm also not interested in people doing things they shouldn't be doing, hurting grizzly bears. There's a balance that needs to be struck, and if the sheep station has to stop grazing in the Centennials, it doesn't mean they have to shut down their entire operation. They have other allotments that are outside of grizzly use areas. We've never said that the entire sheep station should be shut down."
Whether or not the Centennials remain home to livestock, grizzlies are already here. Signs at the Odell Creek trailhead explicitly warn visitors to be wary of bears. 726 isn't the first to attempt to navigate this area. He won't be the last.

Selena Gomez Ain't Ever Gonna Roll On #BBare
Dare seems to be a recurrent theme dat Selena Gomez will one day roll on my boy B-Bare bringin' down his criminal empire when he ain't even begun to rule dis world like iron-fisted gangsta he was born to be. Except nuny'all are takin' into account that my boy called her an elegant princess. ELEGANT. PRINCESS. Her panties done squirted to the moon, and she is now his foreva. Bonded together by da most bootiful words ever spoken by one one man to one woman in da heat of passion. Bitch done hopped on a plane and flew right to his dick not even a day later. Mothafucka's like a pussy hypnotist which is why dese lawyers and judges are out of dare minds if they think B-Bare's princess will ever stop riding dat throne:
Selena Gomez allegedly knows all about Justin Bieber's predisposition for violence — especially violence directed at paparazzi — and that's why the lawyer for the photog who's suing the singer asked about her.
Attorney Mark DiCowden, who grilled Justin like a cheeseburger last Friday in Miami … claims in new legal docs he asked Justin about Selena because she had witnessed Justin attacking a photog in May, 2012.
It's pretty clear the lawyer claims the attack is relevant in showing Justin's M.O. … so he says the questions about Selena were appropriate. As you know, Justin went nuclear, ripped off his mic and walked out of the deposition after Selena was mentioned.
You're gotdamn right my boy dropped that mic and told y'all to fuck yo'selves. Nobody axes him questions about his princess. NOBODY. Plus y'all think she's gonna open dem legs if she finds out he's out dare crackin' skulls and straight up regulatin'? Shit's none of her damn business, so why y'all messin' up his swerve game? Does B-Bare come into your house and tell yo' girl all da stupid shit you do when she ain't around? No, of course not. He ain't ever been about dat. So he gonna make y'all a deal: Just fo'get all dis Selena Gomez business and maybe at the next Johnny Deppsition he won't lawyer your dicks off right in front of your cracker faces. And before y'all say, "wait, brothas can't be lawyers," dat shit's racist. B-Bare won't have it. He didn't go to community college with Stringer Bell to put up with it. He won't.

Life - Poem by sammie kelley
There is no joy cause life is narrow
There is but pain for life is a missed shot arrow
There is no meaning for life is cold
There is but tears for to life you can't hold
There is no hope for life is cruel
There is no violence for in life anger rules
There is no caring for life I don't love
There is but selfish for life you can't think of
There is no truth for life are lies
There is but hatred for life is unwise
There is no promise for life is lonely
Life is nothing but a word only
Is there any in life that we don't dread
For life is alive yet life is dead....

The UN link shares a bit more about the International Day of Peace also known as #PeaceDay "I urge everyone, between now and 21 September, to think about how they can contribute. Let us work together ...... sustainable development, sustainable peace… and a secure future for all."

Much more about the Peace Day and link to all events around the world. http://peaceoneday.org "The International Day of Peace, a.k.a. "Peace Day" provides an opportunity for individuals, organizations and nations to create practical acts of peace on a shared date. It was established by a United Nations resolution in 1981 to coincide with the opening of the General Assembly. The first Peace Day was celebrated in September 1982........ Anyone, anywhere can celebrate Peace Day. It can be as simple as lighting a candle at noon, or just sitting in silent meditation. Or it can involve getting your co-workers, organization, community or government engaged in a large event. The impact if millions of people in all parts of the world, coming together for one day of peace, is immense." *Join in sha

|UPDATE: it's online now: http://youtu.be/-DItFCAg4jM *We like to call this a "PLUS ONE PARTY"* Because people submit links to their albums and we look through the pictures and _*we plus one the pictures we like*_ in the album. It's my way of giving quick feedback to people about which pictures really catch my attention out of their images. It's quick and yet helpful. Last time we looked at over 120 albums *LIVE PUBLIC HANGOUT* Yep it'll be a live public hangout again. Shorter and more awesome than last time. So if you LINK us an album make sure you know they will be on video and then on youtube. We're both really nice people and with people pictures we worry about commentary for fear they're related to you or something. But we may make commentary and you gotta be alright with that as well. The video won't be edited when it goes onto youtube. I'm basically saying: _*The easily offended need not apply*_ *THEME = PEOPLE PICTURES* @109486822103622036238 and myself have a separate project going on where we're spending dozens of hours researching to find great photographers and create the most awesome list of "people shooters" https://plus.google.com/u/0/100962871525684315897/posts/UMBDiPKJqKa So therefore we've made the theme this time to People pictures as well because that's what mood we're in. If you already have an album like that share it. Or maybe put together another one in the next 24hrs that you'd like us to go through. Professional work, weddings, families, kids, selfies, street candids, models etc *JOIN IN* This time we'll be linking the albums and having people join us as we go through the pictures... so you may be getting a lot more plus ones (eyeballs) than normal. *FAQ* We won't be looking at non-people pictures even if they're in the album. We'd rather not look at crazy large albums so try to keep them under 50 (but we can be a bit lenient) Please submit open/public albums specially since other people than myself will be wanting to view. Make sure you're following myself (@100962871525684315897 ) and @109486822103622036238 who'll be the moderators of the video. We're looking for someone awesome to help out on the show and provide interesting insights about the people who's work we're looking through so we can focus on the task at hand. *SHARE* Let your friends who photograph people know that it's a fun and easy opportunity. *VIEW* Hope to see you there during the live viewing saturday night at 9pm Mountain time We'll be using this Event as the chat log for the event. *ALBUMS* 1. +susan marinello - https://plus.google.com/u/0/photos/109486822103622036238/albums/5787749627481544897 2. +scott jarvie - https://plus.google.com/u/0/photos/100962871525684315897/albums/5628519010157340641 3. +Jason Jakober - https://plus.google.com/u/0/photos/111397628815301589258/albums/5790838803220260353 4. +Paul R.

I fell in love with the book Little Women in the third grade, and that was the spark that ignited my desire to write. If Jo could write then so could I. My first attempt was in the fifth grade when I began writing and drawing a cartoon for my friends. The drawing, to be honest, was terrible, but the stories must have been pretty decent because a friend recently informed me she'd kept some of them. I believe she's now holding them hostage, and I'll have to, at some point, pay her not to go public with them. But I'm digressing. I graduated to writing romance in ninth grade, which was more interesting and, no, there were no pictures (much to the readers' relief).
Skip forward a few (quite a few) years, and I decided to go for the real deal. Finding My Escape was my debut novel. Finding My Way Back was published in 2013, and the final book in the series is expected to come out later this year.
And for those of you who like the personal touch, I'm married with a teen daughter of my own, and I live in a town south of Nashville in Middle Tennessee.
Now it's YOUR turn. Tell me a little bit about you. What kind of books to you like? What inspires you?

Whenever you start a new project or pursuit—whether it's writing a paper, preparing a speech, or making a decision—one of the toughest hurdles is just getting your thoughts organized.
You often have many of the key pieces of information in your head, but you haven't yet structured them into coherent thoughts. Or you might not yet have identified which pieces are missing.
An increasingly popular technique for organizing and planning a project, and one I've been using more and more frequently, is the practice of mind mapping.
I'm going to show you how to organize your ideas with mind mapping — using pen and paper, or software like Prezi.

In this week's Management Tips, I tackle a very common mistake: thinking that creativity and innovation are the same thing. They are not. They are related and complementary.
Understanding how they differ — and whether you're a creator or an innovator — will give you more peace, clarity, and understanding about your role at work.

Here's an odd truth: The very routines that make your day bearable are killing your creative capacity.
We all rely on thousands of daily routines to navigate our basic tasks: the order of our morning routines, the clothes we choose to wear, the place where we buy our morning coffee, the route we drive to work, the people with whom we eat lunch, and so on.
The result? Decreased creative thought. The more we rely on our automatic processes, the less we are actually thinking something through; there's no real opportunity for new insight.
But you can change that.

This week's tips address one of my favorite topics—and one that's vital to your career: creativity. Anyone can become a subject matter expert, and just about anyone can learn to make sound decisions. But it takes a bit more dedication and bravery to hone your professional creativity.
This week's first tip focuses on your personal creative ability. Bad news: You've grown up and forgotten that once upon a time you were a creative genius. All kids are. It's amazing how life used to be nothing but imagination and possibilities.

We all strive to be more creative. How many times have we admired a cool campaign, an ingenious product design, a spectacular photograph, a smart logo, or an awesome video clip—and wished we could have come up with those ideas?
So how do we grow in our creativity? The first step is expanding our vision and embracing more of what's around us. Reading is one way to do that. In his course Drawing Vector Graphics, Von Glitschka equates reading to "thinking with someone else's head." And while it's true that reading—and reading almost anything—will help you become more creative, it's a slow, gradual process that requires investment over time. You can't just read one thing and—BAM!—you're a more creative person.
There is a quick fix however—a way to get an instant energy boost of creativity. And so I present my top one ways to be more creative.

We get to Napa a few times a year to visit family and do touristy things. We have tried different hotels, but this was our first time at Hawthorn Suites. The verdict: a good value and a nice central location. I would have given it 3 1/2 stars, but I rounded up because it was better than I thought it would be.
What we liked: location near downtown and across the street from a strip mall (with Starbucks and IHOP in case you don't want the free breakfast), friendly front desk staff (thanks Megan for everything!), oversized mini-fridge, pool (small, but kids will love it), hot tub, "Concierge" book in room with pages full of restaurant listings and tourist info, free Wi-Fi and newspapers, heat lamp in the bathroom.
Could be better: insulation (we asked for a quiet room and got a room on the third floor in the back so at least we didn't have any traffic noise, but you'll hear the plumbing); the towels were a little too crisp for our comfort and the lighting in the room was too dim to read by.
We paid $99 plus tax, so for the money we thought this was a good value, even though we didn't eat the breakfast.
In comparison, we really like Embassy Suites for its great location, free happy hour and delicious breakfast, but the rates have gone up to around $200/night since the renovation so we haven't been back recently. We've also stayed a few times at the Holiday Inn Express on American Canyon for about $100/night, but its location is pretty far from downtown and even farther from the wineries.
We like trying different hotels, but we'd stay here again for our next visit without a doubt.
