Six months ago, a friend tipped her off to some photos on a website, a "revenge porn" website that allows anonymous users to upload photo galleries of Texas women, along with their names, addresses and other personal details. The photos are organized by region, with hundreds of photo galleries featuring Southeast Texas women. Many photos are of underage girls.
Toups contacted the website and asked them to remove the photos, some of which she had sent to an ex-boyfriend. Others were self-portraits — taken to track her exercise progress — that Toups said had never been sent to anyone. Included with the photos was her full name, email address, "pretty much all my personal information," she said.
The website's administrators offered to remove the stolen photos — for a fee. The photos were eventually removed, but appeared again on the site several weeks later. Then they began to appear on other "revenge porn" websites.

This post was originally published on Mashable.
Microsoft's Bing Maps looks like it could be the next major secret-spiller making headlines. The internet search engine's satellite-imaging service captured a stealth Russian fighter jet, which was previously thought to be ancient history.
The airplane, known as the Mikoyan Project 1.44, was reportedly launched during the fall of the Soviet Union and was thought to be put to bed in 2001.
The jet was purportedly Russia's first attempt at a flyable stealth fighter — one that was meant to match one of America's best-kept secrets, the F-22 Raptor. Some speculated that the fighter jet was sent to China to kick-start Beijing's own stealth development program.
Foreign Policy compared China's J-20 stealth fighter, revealed in 2010, to the 1.44 (see above). The 1.44 is the larger of the two planes, found just outside Moscow's Zhukovsky airfield, but the jets appear very similar — though the former is more sophisticated and nearly impossible to track on radar.
Russian officials have said that they did not provide information about the 1.44 jet to the Chinese, but conceded that the Chinese may have gotten their hands on relevant documents. The only thing that is certain: the 1.44 is (or, until this week, was) on an airfield in Russia.
Officials have yet to confirm whether or not the image captured by Bing is the 1.44.

The movie is stupid, but Jordan Chan and Sam Lee really save the day. Its definitely a zombie comedy, and the main characters really pull it together well. If it wasn\'t for them, I wouldnt have watched it, but seeing how they deal with everything and the friendship they have is what this movie is really about, and in that manner it shines. I enjoyed it quite a bit.

Explorer of the Seas -6/11: Explorer of the Seas Cruise Review by suzferr
Overall Member Rating
Explorer of the Seas -6/11
Destination: Bermuda
Embarkation: Bayonne (Cape Liberty)
First, let me tell you the things that we liked. My husband and I were in a Grand Suite which was lovely. Nicely appointed and very roomy. My family was in 3 additional standard rooms which were adequate, but the tube TV's need to go! Also, in the standard rooms they do not provide shampoo or conditioner. they had to use the "universal" soap in the shower dispenser. The cabin stewards were efficient and very nice.
Our waiters in the Columbus dining room were outstanding!! We had such a good time with them that we never booked a meal in the Portofino because we didn't want to miss seeing them. We had a ball every evening! If it weren't for Dwayne, our waiter, Rodrigo, our assistant waiter, and Rabi our bar waiter, the cruise would have really been a flop!
The ship itself was nice, More but there was nothing exceptional about it. The promenade was cute (all smoke and mirrors) The shows in the palace theater were good. The casino was adequate.
Now, let me tell you the things that we didn't like. It started at check in. They had a very difficult time getting our passes printed and getting us on the ship in a timely manner. We checked in at 2:00 after the bulk of the passengers were already on board.
I knew we were in trouble when there was an overhead announcement regarding passenger conduct code. I can say that I have never been on a cruise where the passengers were told how to behave!! Security was extremely rude and heavy handed. But after this cruise, I can see why. The passengers were rude, somewhat slovenly and loud. There was no dress code in the main dining rooms. And the SMOKERS!! I can honestly say that I have never been on a vacation with such a large number of disrespectful smokers. My life expectancy had been reduced after sucking in all the second hand smoke!!
The level of customer service that were have been used to was really sub par. Especially the ancillary staff on the ship. Rudest bar tenders on the pool deck! The staff in the cafes, ice cream shop and the shopping areas were obviously bored and under trained.
I had heard that there was more to do on RCCL and since we were bringing a group of 17+ kids with us, we had hoped that we made the right choice. There was not a lot for them to do, especially the 17 year old girls. We rarely saw the cruise director and his staff. I had heard that the cruise director on this ship was probably one of the best in the cruise industry, but there was very little interaction with him.
The food was just ok. Not great, not bad, just ok.
I would say that our cruise experience on the EOTS was mediocre at best and that we most likely will not sail with RCCL again. They really need to work on their customer service. Less

REVIEW SNAPSHOT®by PowerReviewsDunlap Copper Slipper Clawfoot Tub
Reviewed by 1 customer
Comments about Dunlap Copper Slipper Clawfoot Tub:
Absolutely beautiful tub and very comfortable to soak in! I purchased it for my master bath and whenever anyone sees it for the first time they always let out a little gasp and remark on how gorgeous it is. It was packaged well and arrived on time with no damage. Relatively light weight so it was easy to move. Very good quality construction. Very good value. Unfortunately, the tub filler I had purchased with it was on back order, so I had to order a different faucet to meet my deadline. Customer service was very helpful in handling the refund and new purchase and even gave me a discount for my trouble. I purchased the tub without the overflow drain and later found that it is required under the building code in our county. My builder was nervous about cutting the drain and potentially scratching the tub, but rather than sending it back and reordering one with the drain, Signature Hardware had one of their master plumbers talk him through it over the phone. They were very helpful and very responsive. I am so happy with the product and my overall experience, and I would highly recommend both the tub and Signature Hardware.

Volume 49, Number 2
Spring 1997 - Abstracts
- Sidney A. Shapiro
The "headless fourth branch of government" has become a focal point of modern elections. Politicians pledge to contain this expanding and unruly branch of government. The authors of this article set out to understand this unpopular "fourth branch." To achieve this, the authors analyze the present literature, the conclusions drawn from it, and the numerous issues remaining for study.
I. The End of Administrative Law Scholarship
Previous administrative legal scholarship has given a strong basis for further study. However, to understand government law in the future, one must observe substantive policies and politics more closely. Scholars must have a broader understanding beyond the formal rules of administrative law. In the past, people have recognized the need to study administrative law by raising essential questions about the nature of government. However, they became confused and tried to answer these questions in strictly legal views. "As long as administrative law scholars attempt to discuss these larger issues of government regulations within the traditional legal formality of administrative law doctrines and norms, they will not and cannot address the substantive and normative issues that underlie the regulatory state."
II. The Regulatory Process
A better understanding of administrative law looks at the interaction between agencies and the legislature. Most frequently, Congress passes legislation in broad terms which leaves room for the agencies to implement that law. The legislation develops from the area where policy and politics overlap. Regulatory decisions also come from overlapping policy and political concerns. However, agencies have less discretion than Congress because of the enabling clause of the pertinent legislation. Furthermore, other factors constrain agencies such as institutional routines, bureaucratic culture, professional training, and agency resources.
The interactive model proposed by the authors offers two insights to the administrative process. First, a scholar can make predictions by looking at the congruence of policy, politics, and institutional factors. Secondly, this model rejects a purely public choice orientation that stipulates that decisions result solely from self-interest. The interactive model emphasizes the impact of institutional factors and policy arguments and the important implications these two variables have on the study of administrative law. These implications represent a study of administrative law.
The methodology shows the interaction of the variables and exposes some patterns. Outcomes are the product of the efficacy of policy evidence, the political feasibility of the supporting arguments, and the impact of institutional factors. The model predicts which proposals will fail. Proposals that do not have policy, political, or institutional support will fail.
III. Regulatory Analysis
Policy arguments originate in political communities which includes such groups as staffers, interest groups, and academics. The ideas that survive coincide with the political climate, technical feasibility, and consistency with professional values. Study of the administrative world must look at the interaction of politics, policy, and laws.
Unlike most legal fields, regulatory analysis should look at prior statutes and regulations instead of case law. By doing this, one can ascertain patterns in regulations. There is a limited number of justifications for government regulations and a limited number of tools with which to implement the regulations. By locating the patterns and tools in the administrative process, an understanding of the process becomes simpler.
IV. Regulatory Justifications
The first question is whether there were economic justifications for the regulation. Most modern debate centers on the use of economic justifications. However, noneconomic values matter. Equity and fairness are common examples of noneconomic factors that play an important role. It is impossible to decide which factor will trump another, but to understand regulatory decisions completely one should notice each factor.
V. Match and Mismatch
Economic regulation addresses three market failures: natural monopoly, excessive competition, and economic rents. Agencies use two tools regarding economic regulations: price controls or entry and exit controls.
Social regulation examines four market failures: externalities, inadequate information, scarcity, and public goods. The government uses regulatory or allocative tools.
Proper regulatory scholarship looks at the tools and goals of the regulatory state. Identified patterns are important to understand because they form the basis of all regulations. Good analysis must observe policy factors. Scholars should also notice political and institutional factors. By observing political, institutional, policy, and legal issues, as well as the tools used and common patterns, a complete understanding of administrative law can develop.

It has been a tumultuous year for Utah investors, but those who stuck close to home and purchased shares of companies with headquarters in the state in many instances were well rewarded for their efforts.
The Salt Lake Tribune /Bloomberg Index, which measures the share-price performance of the 27 leading publicly held companies based in Utah, was up more than 17 percent in the first nine months of 2009.
The gain rivaled that of the Standard & Poor's 500 index, which also was up about 17 percent through the end of September, and eclipsed the 11 percent increase in the Dow Jones Industrial Average.
"Clearly the technology sector has been leading the way so far this year with [the tech heavy] Nasdaq up 44 percent," said Sterling Jenson, senior managing director of Wells Fargo Capital Management in Salt Lake City. "But we've also seen some pretty good strength in the materials sector, which includes copper, gold and chemicals."
Utah's Huntsman Corp., the chemicals conglomerate with headquarters in Salt Lake City and The Woodlands, Texas, had the state's best-performing stock through the end of the third quarter. Its shares were up 165 percent from their 2008 close. They closed Wednesday at $9.11.
In June, the company announced it had reached a settlement agreement that brought in $2.7 million in cash and financing resulting from the failed merger last year with Hexion Specialty Chemicals, a unit of the New York-based Apollo Management.
"The settlement was certainly the number one milestone for us so far this year," said Peter Huntsman, president and CEO of Huntsman Corp. "But we've also been getting a lot of recognition for our growing geographic diversity that has resulted in 70 percent of our sales being generated outside the United States."
Dynatronics Corp., a small Utah company that manufacturers and markets equipment used by physical therapists and sports medicine practitioners, was the second-best performer. Its shares, which closed Wednesday at 77 cents, were up 149 percent.
The company last week reported significant improvement in bottom-line results for its fiscal year that ended June 30. Net income for the year was $103,324, compared with the previous fiscal year's loss of $8.4 million.
"So far this year we've increased our sales force by 25 percent, which has really paid off. Also, we recently signed a preferred-vendor agreement with Western Rehabilitation Health Network, which operates 114 clinics in Utah, Idaho and Colorado," said spokesman Bob Cardon.
Another top performer was EnergySolutions, the Salt Lake City-based radioactive waste disposal company. Its shares were up 63 percent. They closed Wednesday at $9.22.
"One of our strengths has been our stable earnings, which were achieved during what many have called one of the most difficult years since the Great Depression," said Philip Strawbridge, EnergySolution's chief financial officer.
Not every Utah company performed as well, though.
Zions Bancorp, the holding company for Utah's Zions Bank, saw its shares decline 27 percent, to close Wednesday at $17.97. Shares of Headwaters Inc., the construction materials conglomerate, fell 43 percent and Wednesday closed at $3.87. The shares of Raser Technologies, which has run into problems bringing its geothermal plant near Beaver to full production, were down 59 percent. They closed Wednesday at $1.53.

[1]Sources tell Ad Age that struggling discount retailer JCPenney (JCP[2]) is preparing to hire a new marketing head[3]. Leading the list of possible candidates for the role is current Kraft Foods (KRFT[4]) Vice President of Marketing and Engagement, Debra Berman.
JCPenney wants to install a new marketing executive prior to the onset of the holiday shopping season, a critical period for any retailer and one that takes on added importance after JCPenney's poor recent performance.
Currently, JCPenney is receiving marketing guidance from former Aflac (AFL[5]) executive Jeff Herbert. His contract with the chain expires at the end of this month. The company has been without a marketing head since Michael Francis was ousted last year[6].
Berman worked at a number of marketing firms, including Y&R, Saatchi & Saatchi and DDB, before joining Kraft in 2009.
JCPenney is trying to recover from a disastrous "no-sales" strategy[7] implemented over the past two years by former CEO Ron Johnson, who was forced out earlier this year as quarterly losses soared.
Shares of JCPenney fell more than 1% in Monday morning trading.

Integrating Physical and Human-Induced Characteristics in the Decision-Making Process
Carol Mladinich1 and Richard Zirbes2
Decisions regarding land and resources are complex and emotionally charged. Features on or below the land surface often are not taken into account nor clearly portrayed. By combining the physical characteristics of the land with the human settlement patterns, we can achieve a more accurate and comprehensive depiction of the landscape, which can help communities make decisions regarding growth and its impacts. The U.S. Geological Survey Front Range Infrastructure Resources project is developing a Group Spatial Decision Support System for integrating the scientific data characterizing an area; such integrated information will help people make decisions that can mitigate many of the consequences of growth.

The head of the ITV company Carlton Communications is threatening to call off the planned merger with Granada if the companies are forced to sell their advertising sales houses as part of the deal.
Michael Green told the Observer newspaper that spinning off the advertising houses would be too high a price.
"It would not make commercial sense; what would be the point of being divorced from our principal income stream?" he asked.
Last week the Competition Commission suggested that both Carlton and Granada might have to sell their advertising houses to allow a deal to go ahead.
"ITV is already dysfunctional in that we are a single programming entity but made up of different companies," Mr Green said in an interview with the newspaper.
"This merger is about creating a single, major ITV grouping, one that can take on the competition.
"Why make it more dysfunctional?
"Can you image Rupert Murdoch at Sky agreeing to lose control of his advertising - it's unthinkable."
Most analysts had been expecting the commission to insist on the sale of only one of the advertising sales houses.
Although the commission has written to the two independent television companies setting out issues and remedies for them to consider - including the question of the advertising sales houses - it has not yet made a decision.
It could decide that the merger is against the public interest and block the deal completely.

An overwhelming majority of Health Services Union branches will support federal government action in the Federal Court to put its powerful East branch into administration.
Workplace Relations Minister
The branch, representing members in Victoria and NSW, is the focus of allegations against its general secretary
HSU acting national president Chris Brown, the Tasmanian branch secretary, said the union's branches, except the HSU East branch, would lodge an application supporting the government in the Federal Court on Wednesday.
"It will largely complement the application lodged by the minister but it's not identical," Mr Brown said on Tuesday.
"What we are going to be proposing to the court is that the court actually appoints a mediator to bring the parties together to see whether there can be some sort of common position arrived at."
Mr Brown said this would allow the branches to open up negotiations about how the administration of HSU East branch would be implemented.
The six branches also support the government's move to break the mega-branch into three and hold fresh elections.
HSU East Branch evolved from the merger last year of two Victorian branches and the NSW branch known as HSUeast.
As acting national president, Mr Brown has jurisdiction over the national union but not the HSU East Branch.
"What this application is doing ... is removing the officers from the federated branch of the union but the effect of that will be automatically to remove the officers from the HSUeast," Mr Brown said.
He said the six branches were uncertain of HSUeast's stance and if there was no common position the court would have to make orders.
The HSUeast branch did not exist when former Labor MP
The national executive last week urged HSU national secretary Kathy Jackson and Mr Williamson to resign and support the government's application.
Mr Williamson has been suspended from his post and Ms Jackson has refused to resign.
Mr Brown said the HSU East Branch was losing hundreds and hundreds, if not thousands, of members but the effect of the scandal surrounding the union had not affected membership in other states.

Kramp Cast: This "Mistress" gets down and dirty
By definition, the word "mistress" means a woman in position of authority or control who is skilled in a particular subject or activity. It can also mean a woman having an extramarital sexual relationship. ABC's summer show "Mistresses" combines the two definitions within the lives of four female friends and shows their involvement in an array of illicit and complex relationships.
Based on the BBC America series with the same name, "Mistresses" is an escape from the ordinary and a guilty pleasure for those who watch the lives of these four women spin out of control. ABC's "Mistresses" is meant to be a fun summer show with a lot of sex and scandal. It is the perfect series for those that don't want to think about what there watching.
The cast includes Alyssa Milano, Yunjin Kim, Rochelle Aytes and Jes Macallan. Their acting backgrounds are as diverse as their ethnic backgrounds, but they have loyal fans that could keep this show from going away any time soon. It may just stick around longer than any of the characters sexual conquests on the show.
In today's Kramp Cast I talk to Jes Macallan who plays Josslyn, a real estate agent who turns the heads men and women. We talk about daily romps on the desk at work, doing gymnastics while riding horses, and whether or not jean shorts are a passable wardrobe item for the upcoming summer months. She should know, her character has an amazing fashion sense. Enjoy!

After 17 months, Google (GOOG) is dropping Zavers by Google, its online coupon service.
The tech giant kicked off Zavers in January 2013 in partnership with a number of supermarkets, including A&P, Waldbaums, Raleys and The Food Emporium. Google users could link online coupons to their store loyalty cards using the Zavers service. The coupon would be applied to purchases at their local supermarket when they scanned their loyalty cards, Re/code notes.
Now, Google is ending Zavers. Sridhar Ramaswamy, who became Google's SVP of Ads and Commerce in March, is reportedly behind the move to discontinue Zavers by Google.
The service will be shut down over the coming months. Sources told Re/code that Google decided to end Zavers after encountering resistance from some retailers over providing key customer information. That resistance slowed the growth of the service.
GOOG stock fell almost 2% in Monday afternoon trading.

Manila (AFP) Jan 17, 2013
A Philippine consortium insisted Thursday a gas project in the disputed South China Sea could only work with the involvement of a Chinese firm, otherwise Beijing could make things difficult.
The Philippine government has awarded the Forum Energy consortium the exploration contract for a potentially huge gas field off Reed Bank in waters at the centre of a fierce territorial row between Manila and Beijing.
Manila accused Chinese vessels in 2011 of harassing an exploration vessel in the area, which is off the Philippine island of Palawan. The waters around Reed Bank are also claimed by China as is most of the South China Sea.
The consortium opened talks with state-run China National Offshore Oil Corp. (CNOOC) last year, and its head insisted on Thursday that it was negotiating solely with the Chinese group to be a partner in the mega-project.
"I think at the moment, the discussion would have to centre between the two of us," tycoon and consortium leader Manny Pangilinan told reporters.
"We don't want to be talking to anyone apart from CNOOC at this stage. We want to make that clear," he said, adding that it was "because of China. That is the reality we have to deal with".
He said: "I believe China will employ all sorts of tactics -- to charm you, to bully you."
He added groups, including those from the US, have expressed "soft interest" to jointly explore Reed Bank, though he stressed the inquiries were not being given serious consideration.
Pangilinan's Philex Mining group holds a 64 percent stake in Forum Energy.
Philex has said that the field is believed to hold 4.66 trillion cubic feet (TCF) of gas, nearly twice as much as the Philippines' largest known deposits.
China claims almost all of the South China Sea, including the Reed Bank, which is about 148 kilometres (92 miles) off Palawan and which the Philippines claims as its territory.
Manila has repeatedly accused Beijing of aggressive actions in disputed waters, and the two countries have been locked since last year in a standoff over the Scarborough Shoal, also in the South China Sea.

AEuropean debt deal to rein in spending and boost emergency funds has been given the nod by sharemarket investors, but analysts don't expect the rally to last.
The benchmark S&P/ASX 200 closed up 1.18 per cent or 50 points stronger to 4252.8, while the broader All Ordinaries index gained 47 points to 4311.4.
The rally came after European leaders' weekend agreement to pursue greater fiscal union, set up a new bailout facility with funding of €500 billion ($654 billion) and add €200 billion to the International Monetary Fund for bailouts.
But National Australia Bank chief economist Rob Henderson doubted the announcements would avert a European recession, with key forward economic indicators pointing to a serious downturn.
"We have no doubt there will be a recession and it will be a really nasty one, worse than in the early 2000s," Mr Henderson said.
The news overshadowed a gauge of US consumer confidence, which climbed to a six-month high. The Thomson Reuters/University of Michigan preliminary index of consumer sentiment for December rose to 67.7 from 64.1 in November.
Asian markets were mixed late yesterday amid speculation that China would loosen monetary policy after it reported a smaller trade surplus and slower export growth.
Japan's Nikkei fell 1.66 per cent and Hong Kong's Hang Seng lost 1.42 per cent but China's Shanghai Composite was up 0.51 per cent.
Pengana Capital fund manager Steve Black said China's growth was going to be critical in protecting Australia from Europe's debt woes.
"With slower growth out of Europe we would need stronger growth out of China and for that growth to continue, and then stronger growth out of the US to really help Australia's overall growth given that we are a net exporter," Mr Black said.
On the domestic front, Australia's trade surplus narrowed to a three-month low in October as a slowdown in global economic growth trimmed exports from the resources sector.
The trade surplus contracted to $1.6 billion from a revised $2.2 billion in September, according to the Australian Bureau of Statistics. Exports declined for the second straight month, falling by $49 million to $27.3 billion.
All sectors except consumer staples finished in positive territory, led by the energy, health and telecommunications indexes.
Arnhem Investment Management portfolio manager Mark Nathan said cyclical stocks came back in favour as investor confidence about global growth was given a boost following the European leaders' meeting at the weekend.
"When we get a positive step forward from Europe we expect to see the higher-leveraged and beta stocks rally, so in that camp we expect to see the resources stocks and anything that is cyclically exposed to do better," he said.
The major miners advanced, with BHP Billiton up 67¢ to $36.53 amid reports that the world's largest miner may consider the sale of aluminium and nickel assets to focus on larger coal and iron ore businesses.
Rio Tinto added 39¢ to $64.13, while Fortescue Metals Group put on 4¢ to $4.76. Elsewhere, Nathan Tinkler's Aston Resources closed 11¢ higher at $9.87 after the mining company agreed to merge with Whitehaven Coal via a scheme of arrangement.
The big four banks moved higher. ANZ Banking Croup was up 10¢ to $20.95, Commonwealth Bank of Australia was 99¢ stronger to $49.83, Westpac Banking Corp gained 22¢ to $21.29 and NAB rose 34¢ to $24.36.
Origin Energy was one of the biggest movers, adding 43¢ to $14.72 after China Petrochemical agreed to buy a further 10 per cent stake from ConocoPhillips and Origin in a $20 billion liquefied natural gas project in Australia, taking its ownership to 25 per cent.
Myer slipped 3¢ to $2.44 and was one of the worst performers as wet weather in NSW hurt retail sales.
Qantas Airways fell slightly to $1.58 after the airline said that overseas bookings were recovering as competition from Middle Eastern and Chinese carriers increased.
As the European debt crisis continues to dominate headlines, companies that are less reliant on the global economy are expected to do better, including Woolworths, Insurance Australia Group and Primary Health Care.
"Our view is that it is going to be a pretty tough market over the next six months in any event," Arnhem's Mr Nathan said. "It is going to take some time before we see a clear resolution of the global macro issues. In that sort of environment we prefer to be in companies that can deliver sustainable earnings growth and not rely on a cyclical uptick."

It seems that all of the episode pages are now unusable. They will flash on the screen for a moment.

I have never seen Memory Alpha be buggy. You normally do a great job keeping up this website with all the data on this site. I appreciate your work.
Now, about the reporting. You really need to make the administrators more accessible for people to make bug reports. I went to the administrator page, but where is the link or button or space to write anything? This is just an FYI, so go ahead and delete this message after you read it. It won't hurt my feelings any. I'll come back another time to look through the episodes.
- Hi Danika. Not sure what the problem is exactly because I haven't experienced this particular bug (I just checked and it's working here). What browser are you using or possibly any settings you have that might affect this. – Morder 00:36, 8 July 2008 (UTC)
- This is most likely a result of the ads placed on the pages. As stupid a question as this sounds, have you tried scrolling down to see if the content was pushed down? If that happened, then that's the result of Wikia's new "style." --From Andoria with Love 00:40, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

Isolation and characterization of H7N9 viruses from live poultry markets — Implication of the source of current H7N9 infection in humans
- First Online:

On March 31, 2013, the National Health and Family Planning Commission announced that human infections with a previously undescribed influenza A (H7N9) virus had occurred in Shanghai and Anhui Province, China. To investigate the possible origins of the H7N9 viruses causing these human infections, we collected 970 samples, including drinking water, soil, and cloacal and tracheal swabs of poultry from live poultry markets and poultry farms in Shanghai and Anhui Province. Twenty samples were positive for the H7N9 influenza virus. Notably, all 20 viruses were isolated from samples collected from live poultry markets in Shanghai. Phylogenetic analyses showed that the six internal genes of these novel human H7N9 viruses were derived from avian H9N2 viruses, but the ancestor of their HA and NA genes is uncertain. When we examined the phylogenetic relationship between the H7N9 isolates from live poultry markets and the viruses that caused the human infections, we found that they shared high homology across all eight gene segments. We thus identified the direct avian origin of the H7N9 influenza viruses that caused the human infections. Importantly, we observed that the H7N9 viruses isolated from humans had acquired critical mutations that made them more "human-like". It is therefore imperative to take strong measures to control the spread of H7N9 viruses in birds and humans to prevent further threats to human health.

Back at CES Microsoft dropped by the Samsung Keynote to show off a new technology called IllumiRoom. It promised a technology that extended gaming beyond the edges of your TV. It looked really cool but almost too good to be true, the presentation was so slick. Here's that first video:
Yesterday we got a much longer look at IllumiRoom. It's still looks really cool but, to me at least, it now looks much closer to a real project. (I'm reminded of the first 'teasers' we had of Project Natal, later known as Kinect, versus what was actually delivered.) Basically the system combines a Kinect camera (to read the room) and a projector that integrates with your Xbox gaming console. The console controls whats on the TV and the projector fills the rest of the wall with extra video.
The game should be designed to support IllumiRoom for the very best results, but even if it isn't the system can enhance a game by tapping into the conversation between controller and console to read what direction you're moving and shifting lights or abstract patterns accordingly.
You know what? What you really need to do is watch the new video rather than listen to me blather on about it:
IllumiRoom isn't an official product yet (it's considered a 'proof-of-concept' system for now), and I'd be surprised if Microsoft could pull it together in time for the launch of the next Xbox (though I'd love to be wrong), but I'm betting it could be their big reveal for 2014 or 2015: a way to keep the Xbox brand fresh and cutting edge.
Personally I'm ready to give Microsoft my money right now; I think this is really cool tech, and it can be enjoyed by both gamers and movie watchers. Plus it should work equally well for everyone in the room, so it's very inclusive tech.
What do you think? Is this the next big thing, or just a gimmick?
If you want to learn more about the IllumiRoom system, Microsoft has published a paper with a lot more details.

Gaddafi is a clown, but no one is laughing
The Libyan leader needs the West more than the West needs him. His brutal and corrupt regime is under pressure
In ten days' time, Colonel Muammar Gaddafi will celebrate the 40th anniversary of the coup that made him master of Libya and the longest-lasting dictator in the world today.
At his side will be Abdul Baset Ali al-Megrahi, the "mass murderer" whose release from prison in Scotland on compassionate grounds is billed in Libya as a victory over imperialism.
Al-Megrahi, a distant relation of Gaddafi, always claimed his innocence. Had he admitted responsibility for the Lockerbie tragedy he would have implicated the entire Libyan regime headed by the very colonel who has become the toast of Western leaders. Legally speaking, the colonel has no position in Libyan government. He is just the Guide of the Revolution, a philosopher-king who observes and offers advice. In practice,…

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 12/4/2014 (1196 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Sylvie Albert was deeply involved in the Intelligent Community Forum (ICF), a New York-based think tank long before she moved to Winnipeg to become dean of the faculty of business and economics at the University of Winnipeg.
In addition to teaching at the faculty of management at Laurentian University in Sudbury, Ont., for eight years, she wrote books about the ICF and was an international jurist for the group that runs the annual "Intelligent Community of the Year" program.
Winnipeg made it to the top 21 the past three years and cracked the top seven this year for the first time, in a field of about 400 communities that apply.
Albert did not contribute to the Winnipeg submission and has recused herself from jury duty this year because of the Winnipeg connection, but that does not stop her from providing an expert opinion about Winnipeg's relative standing in world of intelligent communities.
"The biggest thing that blew me away when I arrived was the extent of collaboration in this community," she said. "That's very hard to find in cities internationally."
'The biggest thing that blew me away when I arrived was the extent of collaboration in this community'-- Sylvie Albert
She said she met more than 50 CEOs in the first two months she was here.
"The doors were wide open," she said. "I'm not a big name, just one of the deans at the U of W. People take you in. I quickly started to see all the networks of networks."
You might not think collaboration is necessarily a key piece of having an intelligent community, but it can be.
John Jung, the co-founder and chairman of ICF, was in Winnipeg this week giving the city the once over as part of the process to pick the intelligent community of the year.
He said, "You need to be much more holistic in approach like working with educational institutions. Cities like Winnipeg work closely with the universities, positioning them in the centre of a knowledge-centric economy, making them a part of the community's daily life. It raises the bar for everyone."
The big message of the ICF is for communities to take advantage of everything they have and to add the technology element -- like high-speed broadband -- to leverage that for the benefit of the entire community.
Again, it's not just about how wired the community is.
"What we are looking for is the positive aspects of how to utilize technology for prosperity and create wealth in communities by addressing opportunities, he said.
That means making the community's assets as inclusive as possible including all the disenfranchised elements of the community.
"We advocate that," Jung said. "We encourage greater access, more affordable access. It is really important that you develop talent in the community and you want to keep that talent in the community."
Winnipeg's predisposition to be self-deprecating may cause locals to scoff at the city's inclusion in such an international competition, but Albert, who has travelled to more than 40 countries, said that kind of self-criticism happens everywhere.
When it comes to the ICF, everyone doesn't have to be Palo Alto, Calif.
"There is no black and white," she said "Each community has its own flavour. It's really about creating quality of life and sustainable communities," she said.
There are six main criteria judges consider: infrastructure, skilled workforce, innovation and creativity, digital inclusion, marketing and advocacy and sustainability (which was added this year for the first time).
Each year there is a particular theme to focus on and this year's is about the power of culture and how it can help make a community intelligent.
Marina James, the CEO of Economic Development Winnipeg, whose office produced the submission, said, "With the theme of 'Community as Canvas' we felt if we could not garner a higher standing with the amount of collaborative, creative energy in Winnipeg than we, as an economic development agency, would not be doing a good job."
Highlights of Winnipeg's submission include the city's technology incubators and accelerators, AssentWorks, a unique international collaboration at Sisler High School called the Digital Voices Project, Aboriginal People's Television Network and the Wii Chiiwaakanak Learning Centre at the U of W.
Putting together the submission means getting input from across the community spectrum.
James said part of the enduring benefit in taking part in a program like this -- regardless of the eventual ranking -- is the mash-up of brain trusts from all sorts of sectors.

10 Things To diffuse Stress for Children This Christmas
PRESS RELEASE Friday December 19, 2012
10 Things To diffuse Stress for Children This Christmas
As Presbyterian Support launches its second tier of the Guardian Angel campaign on TV nationwide, Robyn Corrigan, Professional Practice Leader for Family Works Northern, speaks out about what we can do this Christmas to avoid a rise in harm and family related violence.
Robyn, who trains all frontline staff in Family Works Northern in working with family violence, says this is a particularly tough time for families on the threshold of high stress – and this season can be a breaking point for some unable to diffuse trouble brewing.
Some of the steps you can take to curb rising stress and keep kids safe:
1. Ask friends
or family for help – a listening ear always
2. Help out by offering parents/caregivers a break -even an hour or two can make a difference
3. Count to 10 backwards and/or take a deep breath – it's ok to put yourself in time out and calm down
4. Be Positive - Emphasise the good and reinforce the behaviour you want to see
5. Agree clear boundaries in advance , such as timeframes on outdoor night activity
6. Have food alongside alcoholic beverages and provide the choice of non-alcoholic drinks
7. If money/presents are scarce – place emphasis on non- material parts of the season, like outside activities, music, arts & other creative or free pursuits (see Eventfinda for free events in your area)
8. Take time to enjoy your children – play together, have fun and laugh
9. Remember that children are people too – they respond well when they feel listened to, respected, admired and loved
10. Look after yourself – find time for you and do something you enjoy to restock your energy.
There's help available
If you're worried about family violence, there are resources and organisations that can provide advice and support.
• Call the Family Violence Information Line on 0800 456 450 to find out about the organisations in your area who can help.
• Visit the
website: www.areyouok.org.nz
• If an adult or child is in immediate danger, call the Police on 111.
• If you are concerned about a child's situation, call Child, Youth and Family on 0508 FAMILY (0508 326 459).
• If you know an adult who's being abused, offer them support and encouragement to get help.
• For a list of local services, go to www.familyservices.govt.nz/directory/index.jsp.
The Family Works Guardian Angel Campaign Background
The Guardian Angel campaign is an initiative from Presbyterian Support Family Works which aims to help Kiwi children in need in four main ways:
• When home no longer feels safe for children caught in the crossfire of family violence, abuse or addiction, Family Works services like parenting programmes can turn a troubled home into a much more positive place.
• When families have broken down it can be a shattering and heart breaking for children and parents alike. They can need Family Works help in many ways from family counselling to play therapy for children too young to express their pain
• When children are in trouble, acting out in ways they cannot understand – breaking things, hitting out etc – Family Works can get them back on track with mentoring, buddy programmes and working alongside parents
• When money is tight and families are
desperate Family Works can help make ends meet with
supportive guidance and even food parcels as well as being a
voice for those struggling with

Hired on his 30th birthday, Chris Briggs had big dreams and plans for the Georgetown College men's basketball program he had come to love through his four years as an assistant. The Tigers have an expectation of success and a leadership of legendary coaches. The youthful coach has definitely kept both of those traditions going.
In just two seasons, and only 31 years of age, Briggs' is 54-17 (76.1 winning percentage) with a national title and NAIA Coach of the Year to his credit.
"Winning the national title, with this team, is such an amazing feeling," Briggs said. "These guys worked so hard and you could see the change in demeanor and focus when we were in Kansas City. That is one of the toughest tournaments out there. You are playing five games in six days, it can wear on anyone.
"But we wanted it and went and got it."
Briggs had twice been to the Fab Four as an assistant and guided his first team to the quarterfinals, but bringing home Georgetown's second men's basketball national crown is still surreal.
Topping all of that off, Briggs appears to be the youngest coach to ever lead a men's basketball team to a national crown.
The NAIA does not keep records and through GC's own research nothing has turned up to refute the theory. He is also the youngest to be named Coach of the Year.
"I keep pinching myself," Briggs joked in a meeting recently. "It's unbelievable and unreal, but at the same time I could just feel it happening out there. All the hours we woke up for 6 am practices. All the extra shooting, running and game tape breakdown that we did, was paying off."
Ironically, Georgetown was sitting on a 26-8 record heading into the Fab Four game. In 2011-12, the Tigers finished 26-9 with a loss in the quarterfinals. However, Briggs' team was not about to let the dream run come to an end.
Instead, GC erased a double-digit lead in the second half, grabbed the team's first lead with just more than a minute remaining and hit the game-winning shot with less than a second remaining in the semifinals to be in the school's fifth all-time finals.
The Tigers trailed early in the championship, but once they got going never looked back for the largest margin of victory in the finals since 1997.
"It is an honor to coach at Georgetown and an honor to be the head coach for these guys," Briggs said. "It's always nice to be the team that ends the season on a win. To have some of my dreams and hopes for these young men and this program realized that night will forever be special to me."

Jimi Hendrix's US Manager Refutes Recent Claim That Guitarist Was Killed by UK Manager
Jimi Hendrix's manager in the United States, Bob Levine, asserts that the late guitarist's former roadie James 'Tappy' Wright's claim that the legendary musician was murdered by his UK manager is a "giant lie."
Wright had alleged in his 2009 book, 'Rock Roadie,' that Hendrix's UK manager, Michael Jeffrey, once admitted to him that he had killed Hendrix by stuffing his mouth with pills and pouring red wine down his throat. Levine is now speaking out on Wright's claim, saying his story is completely fabricated.
"It's totally unfair to Jimi," says Levine. "It's unfair to everybody who was around at the time. I just think it's really unfair to the fans, to anybody who ever loved Jimi Hendrix. Yes, he died a tragic death, and he died much too young. But spreading these lies that he was murdered? It's utter crap, and I've been silent about this for much too long."
Wright claimed that Jeffrey, who died in a 1973 plane crash, took out an insurance policy on Hendrix that was worth a few million dollars, thus giving him the impetus to murder the guitar god. But Levine says Hendrix's 1970 death was the result of accidental suffocation, as it was noted in the official medical examiner's report.
"He was with a girl who did give him some sleeping pills — Jimi always had a hard time sleeping, so he'd take pills to make him sleep," explains Levine. "He had some wine, too, and went to sleep. But when it came time for the wine to come up, he had to vomit. He was literally knocked out by the pills, so he choked on his vomit."
Levine goes on to say that Wright even told him that he needed a "hook" for his book, and that he warned Wright not to include the murder claim in the memoir.

one day to go...
There is just one more day to go until my boys are back, our house is filled with the hussle and bussle of daily life and a few fun days with my mother. Feel like I accomplished most of the things on my to-do list, in fact there were a few things that I added in along the way that were exciting...playing tennis with my hubby for instance. All of my crafty goodies are tucked away for a couple more weeks after a week of cutting, sewing and just having some artistic me time. Decided to create a few sewing books which included so much I love about the process of creating. Used a bit of everything from fabric and felt to vintage lace and buttons.
There will be more creating in a couple of weeks, but until then time to enjoy time with my boys until then. Hope your summer is full of some creating, relaxation and trying something new.
