From a classic homemade dough to calorie-saving pita crust, the possibilities for your homemade pizza are endless. Alton Brown's Pizza Pizzas (pictured above) call for a dough that must rest for 18 to 24 hours but if you've got to immediately satisfy a pizza craving and you want to skip store-bought dough, stop by your local pizzeria. Chances are they'll sell you a homemade dough for a fraction of what you might pay for a full pizza. Then head home to top it with some of these delicious (and unique) toppings:
1. Brunch Pizza
Craving breakfast-for-dinner and a pizza? Alie and Georgia's solution is a sauce-topped dough with tomatoes, cheese and a freshly cracked egg.
2. Bobby's Southwestern-Style Pizza
Bobby Flay starts with whole-wheat dough to make a lighter but still incredibly filling pizza. Saute beef with onions, peppers and tomatoes to create a meaty sauce and spread it onto the dough. Top with a Mexican-cheese blend before baking until bubbly.
3. New Haven-Style White Clam Pizza
Get inspired by Connecticut's signature pizza. Start with a thin, crispy crust, and is top it with garlic, oregano, olive oil and just a touch of cheese.
4. White Pizza
Debi Mazar and Gabriele Corcos, hosts of Extra Virgin, skip sauce in favor of mozzarella, prosciutto and arugula. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
5. Chicago-Style Deep Dish Pizza
A cast-iron skillet and super hot oven are essential to making this Chicago food staple. Layer sausage on the bottom (to ensure a crisp crust) followed by mozzarella and marinara. Top with garlic, oregano and Parmesan before drizzling with olive oil.
Okay so it's not pizza dough but this healthy alternative is still smothered with mozzarella cheese and some tasty toppings. Start with whole-wheat pitas then top with sauteed turkey sausage and spinach for a healthful but still comfort food-friendly alternative to classic pizza.

Dark Horse 'Star Wars' Editor Randy Stradley Finds A Silver Lining In Franchise Moving To Marvel
Last week's news that the Star Wars comics franchise will shift from Dark Horse to Marvel in 2015 hit quite a few people pretty hard, including, seemingly, Dark Horse Vice President of Publishing Randy Stradley, who has been senior editor of the publisher's Star Wars comics since 2002.
"Going to the store for wine. I hope they have enough," he tweeted. But in a message posted to Facebook Sunday, Stradley told followers that there are plenty of reasons for Star Wars fans to be happy, and that he's probably okay with being out of the game.
After thanking supporters, Stradley gave his reasons:
But [if] Dark Horse must lose the license, this is probably a good time for it. From my perspective, the upcoming films will mean less freedom to do what we at Dark Horse have always done best: expanding the universe. With a new film scheduled every year, and a new television series, it is likely that there will be a lot of comics pages devoted to adaptations and direct spin-off stories in support of the films and TV shows. That's not where my interests lie, and it has never been Dark Horse's strong suit. That would be too much like real work to me.
Probably, the coming years will be a great time to be a Star Wars fan (especially a *new* Star Wars fan), and I hope you all enjoy the ride, but I think I'm going to be glad to not be in the mix.
He also added this in a comment:
There is no way for me to know what plans Marvel has, or whether they will continue telling stories with characters we created. As I said in my post, my suspicion is the focus of the license will be to support the new films rather than exploring our loose ends.
So there you have it. The man who thought up the idea to kill Chewbacca in a comic (at least according to Wookieepedia) isn't all that interested in Disney bigwigs telling him he can't do stuff like kill Chewbacca. Some fans will probably be happy about that; others are probably still going to be upset. Either way, 2014 and 2015 are guaranteed to be years with lots of Star Wars.

A MAN suffered a broken jaw and lost teeth after he was punched in a Basingstoke street.
Vincent Goodall was punched once in the face by Kevin Cassell in an "unprovoked attack" in Blackdown Close, Buckskin.
Mr Goodall needed to have a metal plate inserted in his jaw and a brace fitted for the bone to heal, Winchester Crown Court heard.
Cassell, 21, appeared in the dock having admitted inflicting grievous bodily harm on the first day of an intended trial.
The court heard that at around 11pm on November 5 last year, Mr Goodall had approached Cassell to ask him for a lighter for a cigarette.
Adam Feest, prosecuting, said: "There was a short conversation, which was captured on CCTV, and the victim walked off.
"The defendant then pursued him off camera and punched him once to the head in an unprovoked way, having made some comment about the victim's brother, before the defendant left."
The court heard Cassell, of Newbury Street, Kintbury, Berkshire, was in danger of losing his council accommodation if he went to prison.
Adrian Fleming, defending, said it was difficult to say what it was that caused the dispute.
He added: "I have to accept this was a nasty offence, and it had serious consequences for the victim. However, it was an isolated incident in this young man's life and there's no indication that he is regularly on the streets causing trouble."
Judge Susan Evans said that while it was not the most serious GBH offence, she said she could see "no good reason" for suspending a prison sentence.
She sentenced Cassell to 13 months imprisonment with a £100 victim surcharge. Cassell was told he would serve half of the sentence in custody and half on licence.

07 March 2012
Yesterday morning, as I was surfing around for Tigers chatter, the following tweet came across my timeline from Mark Anderson of TigsTown.com:
Why do people insist the #Tigers need to do something w/ Nick Castellanos b/c of Cabrera's move. He's two years away! #StopTheMadness— Mark Anderson (@TigsTownMark) March 6, 2012
I was actually floored that there are folks out there who are clamoring for Castellanos to move positions right away! It's true that Castellanos is in Major League camp right now, but, as Anderson points out, he's still likely to spend two full seasons in the minor leagues before joining the Tigers. Being "blocked" by Cabrera shouldn't factor into an organizational decision at this point in time.Scouts have wondered all along whether or not Castellanos would be able to handle third base defensively at the major league level (and the jury is still out on this). If the answer ends up as a 'no', then the likely move would be to a corner outfield spot. So, the idea of Nick switching positions isn't a new one, but the Tigers organization should hold out as long as possible before deciding to make that switch official. Five reasons:
Corner outfield isn't a hard position to learn
Perhaps I'm overlooking a great deal of nuance here, but I've always operated under the impression that corner outfield wasn't particularly difficult to defend. It's a place that terrible defenders go to hide. There's no reason Castellanos would need two seasons to learn the position. If push comes to shove, one spring should be sufficient. It's easy to go from third to the outfield, but it would be darn near impossible to take a couple of years off from third and then try to play there one day in the big leagues.
Miguel Cabrera isn't young anymore
Or, at least, he won't be in two years. Cabby will be staring his age 31 season in the face come 2014, and you have to wonder what type of defense he would be able to provide at the hot corner. We're having the debate if he'll be able to stick while still in his 20's. How far into his 30's could we expect him to be able to defend third base? With Castellanos, the thinking can't be about one or even two years – it's about where he'll be for hopefully five to seven years.
Victor Martinez won't be around forever
This point goes hand-in-hand with the one above. Victor is signed through the 2014 season, and the DH position will be wide open after that. At that time, Prince Fielder and Miguel Cabrera will be on the wrong side of 30, heading into the years of expected steep defensive decline. I'm sure neither one would love to be a full time DH, but if they split time there (with the other playing first), then third base would be wide open. The only issue here would be about what to do in that single year of 2014, when hopefully Castellanos is ready to play in the big leagues, but first base, third base, and DH are all spoken for. I don't really have an answer for that right now, but as I said before, the thinking here can't be about the short term.
Castellanos carries more trade value as a third baseman
It's not impossible that Castellanos gets traded before reaching the big leagues with the Tigers. Heaven knows that Dave Dombrowski is not shy about dealing a top prospect if he feels the price is right. Most teams have corner outfield prospects that can hit in their farm system, but a young, elite-hitting third baseman is hard to find. Moving Nick away from third base would be a significant hit to his value as a trade chip.
A lot can happen in two years
It's not fun to think about, but pretty much anything could happen in a two year span. A terrible accident, an illness, an injury, or any number things could occur that would take Prince Fielder or Miguel Cabrera out of the lineup. This isn't a likely scenario, and it's one that we all hope never happens, but it would serve the club well to have the extra insurance policy of Castellanos just in case.
If Nick Castellanos would ready to break camp and head north with the team, then yes, find a new position for him, but he's really no where close. The team is right to take things one year at a time.

How to Use Braid Extensions
How to prepare your hair for braids for longer, stronger hair.
Braid extensions have been around since forever and many women have used them over the years as protective styles to grow longer, stronger hair. But for every one women who reaches her hair goals with braids, there are several more who experience damage and breakage from this style. To avoid making the common mistakes many women do when wearing braids, read on for helpful tips to ensure that you get the most out of this style.
Deep Condition Before
Before even considering installing braid extensions, you have to ensure that your hair and scalp are strong enough to handle the extra weight and tension of the braids. To prepare your hair for braids, I would suggest doing a strong protein treatment followed by a moisturizing one at least twice before event thinking about braiding your hair.
Also, try to solve any scalp issues you might have that may be weakening your hair. For instance, try to focus on curing dandruff, dry itchy scalp, any fungal infections, etc.
Properly installed braids are the key to maximizing your hair growth. Failure to install your braids correctly can do more harm than good, and leave you with breakage and thinning hair. Here are some guidelines to follow when installing your braid extensions:
- Parts should be smaller than half an inch by half an inch. By creating smaller parts less hair is being incorporated into each braid. This means that fewer strands will have to bear the weight of the added hair creating more tension than if a larger part was created and more hair was used.
- Braids should never be bigger than the part. In order to achieve a fuller look and hide some of the parts you may be tempted to use a lot of hair per section to braid. The problem with doing this is that you are forcing only a few strands of hair to bear a lot more weight than they are accustomed to. This could cause the strands to snap from tension created. See the guide below for further detail.
- Do not try to braid all of your edges. The edges of your hair are very weak and fragile and susceptible to breakage. Most people experience breakage from doing everyday things like brushing their edges and wearing too many back to back ponytails, so you can only imagine the breakage that can be caused by braiding the edges tightly and leaving that tension on it for a prolonged period of time. Try to use larger sections when braiding the front to distribute some of the tension throughout more hair strands. Also, avoid braiding the very front of the hair. Try leaving out the very front and simply applying a pomade and a scarf for ten minutes to smooth it down.
- Use less hair near your edges to avoid adding too much extra weight and try to redo them whenever they get loose to prevent tension from remaining on the same region of the hair shaft continuously.
- Ensure braids are not too tight. Contrary to popular belief tighter braids will not increase hair growth. The tightness, apart from causing damage, can lead to tension headaches and unsightly bumbs and sores.

Adnan Oktar Says...
Adnan Oktar's conversations with guests
A9 TV, 2 November 2012
Adnan Oktar: LET THE BORDERS BE OPENED, LET THE VISAS BE LIFTED, LET US MAKE COMMERCE ABUNDANTLY, LET US EMBRACE THEM, LET JOY PREVAIL, LET US FEAST, LET ABUNDANCE AND WEALTH BE EVERYWHERE. Let the world see the wickedness of this treachery, egoism, selfishness. Let them emulate us.
The Gulf Today, November 2nd, 2008
Adnan Oktar: Under the leadership of Turkey, insha'Allah, a Turkish Islamic Union will be established with the union of the Turkish states and with the aid of a Turkish Union. THIS WILL HAPPEN UNDER THE LEADERSHIP OF TURKEY; we are actually proceeding towards this step by step. The leadership of Turkey is the most ideal. Every country will exist on its own as a state but there will be a spiritual union, insha'Allah, as in the case of the European Union. The passports will be removed, the requirement for visas will be eliminated, the countries will make trade readily and they will become brothers. In order to accomplish this, the first basis will, insha'Allah, be laid with Azerbaijan and also with Syria, one of the Islamic countries. Azerbaijan is a country which is both Turkish and Muslim. Syria is also our Muslim brother. We will, insha'Allah, unite with Syria, too. These will be the first steps.
Taraf / April 29th, 2011
Tourism professionals in Turkey are adding Italy to their visa free trips. The tourism agencies at last got what they have been asking for, and got permission from the Italian authorities for visa free one-day trips to Trieste in Italy.

Hopefully Mr. Cook will be smart enough to take a ten or so dollar royalty (read: free money regardless of amount, better of course if it's on the software and thus from every ODM. Also better for Apple if it's a larger royalty than MSFT's) on every Android device sold.
Mr. Jobs, were he still alive and well, would not; and such behavior with Microsoft and their GUI on the desktop in the nineties cost him his job plus nearly destroyed his company. Android probably can't be stopped like Mr. Jobs wanted, litigation or otherwise; although, Apple can certainly make a huge chunk of change off of it.
Apple is the one copying off google. The notification bar and text to speech? Apple is getting down right annoying. I love my iPad and wish Samsung has a larger model than the 16GB 3G model then I'd for sure switch.
[QUOTE=GrandMstrBud;6348044]Apple is the one copying off google. The notification bar and text to speech? Apple is getting down right annoying. I love my iPad and wish Samsung has a larger model than the 16GB 3G model then I'd for sure switch.[in all reality the galaxy tab is exactly like the iPad, only running android honey comb. My feelings on android are not that great. I think the only cool thing about android is how your able to access your root partitions easily. If your one who knows what to do with them. But the android platform is too twitchy and buggy. And can easily be corrupted. The platform is fog simplistic fun with your fonts, video wallpaper and cheesy type options for the non technical user. But when it comes to a idevice it's a powerhouse of technology. In short stick with your iPad.]
LOL, Apple and MS will make more money from Android phones than anyone!
Though from a business perspective it may not be n Apple's interest to allow whatever IP they have to be used in Android and collect royalties, if you consider that for every Android sold an iPhone is unsold, and Apple makes a bit more than $10 from their phones.
Where I think that tech patents are largely without merit, ownership is what it is. Who copied off whom is high school cheerleader gossip nonsense. What matters is who owns the patent. I like Apple products, but I would LOVE to see Android come up with workaround like stated about. The more innovation the better!
I hated the way Jobs behaved and I was turned off so much that I switched from iOS to Android and have no plans to go back (for the foreseeable future)
Android is NOT a stolen product and even if it was as long as it wasn't stolen from him he shouldn't care. he was a very arrogant and egocentric man and seemed to have no problem overlooking the fact that everything that iOS/iPhone is, was made possible by the invention and innovation of others before him. he didn't have a problem building on the ideas of others and making them better but lo and behold Android comes along and outshines his vision and his response was childish and selfish.
Or, you could just go quad core now and get a 32GB Asus Prime which also has an SD slot so you can upgrade your memory as needed instead of having to buy an entire device because you need/want more storage.
reminds me of the episode of Batman where the villan tries to patent the American alphabet...
Now "who stole what from whom" is not the right question.
Do I think Android, post-Google acquisition, retooled their entire OS from a candybar, trackball-based system to a primarily touch-based model before they unveiled it at Open Handset Alliance, eleven months after the iPhone's announcement? Yep.
Do I think Apple retooled the App Store policies, subscription rules, notification delivery, and the re-use of the volume button for physical shutter control came in no small part due to Android's widespread successes with those things? Yep.
Then again, did Android liberate status-bar notification icons from webOS or PalmOS before that? Did Apple snatch the iPad app-switching gestures from MeeGo and Nokia? These sorts of questions continue ad infinitum.
It shouldn't necessarily be about who does it first, it should be about who does it the best first. Best, of course, being the evanescent beast it is... fear in pursuing it only slows us all down. Inspiration, not imitation. Iteration, not idling.

Crystal Palace boss Tony Pulis has admitted that the continuing absence of striker Marouane Chamakh is a "big blow" to their Premier League survival hopes.
The 30-year-old will not be in the 18-man squad for the vital relegation clash at Sunderland tomorrow, after failing to recover from a hamstring injury picked up during the Swansea City match.
Chamakh has hit five of Palace's 19 goals league goals this season, and without him last weekend against Southampton the Eagles mustered just one shot on target.
Palace's goalscoring record is the worst in the top flight, and boss Tony Pulis says Chamakh may also miss the trip to Newcastle next week.
He said: "We've missed Chamakh without a question of a doubt. He won't be available this week and we'll have to assess him again before next week.
"It's his hamstring and it's pretty bad which is a big blow for us because he has been a real quality player."
Pulis also revealed that Barry Bannan and Danny Gabbidon face late fitness tests ahead of the Sunderland fixture.
But while Sunderland manager Gus Poyet has described the game and his side's "biggest of the season", Pulis sees it as just another game.
"People look at the Sunderland game and say that it is a six-pointer but every game is just as important as any other for this football club," Pulis added.
"We have 10 opportunities to pick up the points that we need to stay up and there are no gimmes in the Premier League because every game is tough."
The Black Cats sit second bottom of the table, just three points below Palace.
A loss for the Eagles could see them drop into the bottom three and Pulis is expecting a very difficult game.
"It's surprising to see Sunderland where they are if you look at the squad and the players they have got," he said.
"I am sure they will be up for it and what we've got to do is go there stand up and fight for our corner."

Frank Zindler
- Located in Columbus, OH
- Editor of American Atheist Press
- Linguist
- Spent twenty years as a teacher and professor of biology, psychobiology, and geology
- Outstanding debater and public speaker
"Mr. Zindler is the author of numerous articles and several books on Atheism and related history, including a special annotated edition of Part Three of The Age of Reason by Thomas Paine. His book, "The Jesus the Jews Never Knew" shows that the ancient Jews never heard of Jesus of Nazareth, in fact they never heard of Nazareth itself. He is a member of several learned societies including the American Association for the Advancement of Science, New York Academy of Science, Society of Biblical Literature and the American Schools of Oriental Research. Mr. Zindler is also a nationally recognized figure in the ongoing debate over creationist pseudoscience and evolution." - AA Website
In the spring of 2011 Zindler published a four-volume collection of his short works, including essays, magazine articles, lectures, debates, songs, and poems. Entitled THROUGH ATHEIST EYES: Scenes From a World That Won't Reason, the work comprises Volume I: Religions & Scriptures; Volume II: Science & Pseudoscience; Volume III: Debates; Volume IV: Omnium-Gatherum.
In the spring of 2013, along with Robert M. Price, Richard Carrier, D.M. Murdock, Earl Doherty, David Fitzgerald, and Rene Salm, Zindler published ' Bart Ehrman and the Quest of the Historical Jesus of Nazareth', a rejoinder to the book 'Did Jesus Exist?' written by the famous New Testament Scholar Bart D. Ehrman.
Frank is prepared to lecture on the following topics:
- Ethics Without Gods
After a brief discussion of the impossibility of a suitable ethic WITH gods, I summarize the evolution of human social behavior and the origins of morals. Then I discuss the principle of 'Enlightened Self-Interest' as a possible basis for creation of an ethical system.
- How Jesus Got a Life
After summarizing the 'evidence' adduced to show that Jesus of Nazareth was an historical figure, I show that none of the evidence can survive critical scrutiny and that Jesus almost certainly is a mythical figure like Mithra or Osiris. Then I propose an astrological mystery-cult origin of the Jesus character catalyzed by the movement of the vernal equinox from the zodiacal sign of Aries (the lamb or ram) into the sign of Pisces (the fishes). I end with a sketch of how the Jesus biography came to be assembled.
- Where Jesus Never Walked
Much of the geography of the Greek New Testament is actually fictional. The sites now known as Nazareth and Bethlehem in Judea can be shown not to have been inhabited during the 'Herodian Period' when Jesus is supposed to have been living there. Moreover, important Gospel sites such as Capernaum (despite all the falsely impressive archaeological excavations at the site now called Kfar Nachum), Bethany, Bethpage, Enon, and others are actually unknown to scientific archaeology and can be shown to have been of symbolic import and were created ex nihilo by the gospel writers. (Enon, however, appears to have been the result not of design but was invented due to the fact that one of the authors of the Gospel of John was dyslexic.) Gospel geography is rendered further problematic by the fact that most of the real places of Galilee that Jesus would have had to have reacted to are not mentioned in the gospels.
- The REAL Bible: Who's Got It?
The Samaritan bible has fewer books in it than does the Jewish bible. It in turn has fewer books in it than does the bible of Protestant Christians. The Roman Catholic bible has more books than does the Protestant one, but many fewer than were in the bibles of ancient Christians. The Ethiopic Church, however, probably has even more books than did the ancient Christians. Why is this? In trying to determine which bible is 'the REAL Bible,' believers have to deal with three problems: (1) How do we know which books should be in THE Bible? (2) How do we decide which manuscript(s) of each book has THE authentic content and wording? and (3) How do we in the 21st century know precisely what the words in those manuscripts meant to their authors? Clearly, there can be no such thing as THE Christian bible. When people argue that such-and-such fact or sentiment is 'in the Bible,' they have no reasonable basis for their claim.
- Questions Creationists Can't Answer
Because creationism (and its bastard-child "Intelligent Design") is religion, not science, it can 'explain' the natural world only by recourse to magic. Virtually no specific circumstance of geology or genetics can be explained realistically in terms of a supposed intelligent design, whether such design was realized in flesh six thousand years ago or six million years ago. Virtually no specific circumstance of geology or genetics can be explained without magic if Noah's Flood destroyed the world in the year 2,348 BCE as one biblical chronology would require. The Green River Shale contains six million years-worth of thin, annual layers of rock called rhythmites or varves. These could not have been formed during the single year of Noah's Flood without the deceptive employment of magic. The fact that humans and chimpanzees are 98.5% the same in their DNA sequences is impossible to explain if they are not related by descent but rather are special creations. Moreover, both species share PSEUDOGENES -- unintelligent design element that are even packaged the same way in the chromosomes of the two species. (Pseudogenes are genetic elements that code for a known protein but are never activated due to defective control sequences; they just 'go along for the ride' without being of use to the individual who carries them.) Cannel coal, coral atolls, Antarctic ice cores, and magnetic stripes in the Atlantic ocean floor are just a few more things creationists cannot explain without recourse to magic.
- The Historical Jesus Dispute
Styling ourselves "mythicists," a growing number of scholars have argued that Jesus of Nazareth never existed as an historical figure. In recent years, it has been discovered that Nazareth and Bethlehem in Judea were not inhabited at the time Jesus and the Holy Family should have been living there. Recently our books and blogs have come under serious criticism by the famous New Testament scholar and New York Times best-selling author Bart Ehrman. In his recent book "Did Jesus Exist? The Historical Argument for Jesus of Nazareth," Ehrman offers arguments against Zindler and other mythicists and seeks to prove the historicity of Jesus and the habitation of Nazareth at the required time. This lecture examines the logic and evidence of Ehrman's book and finds them inadequate.

There is a very, very special place in my heart for snack cakes. It's the same place where my love of Barbie shoes, Cheetos, and the first Britney Spears album all reside. It's a place that's goes one level deeper than my love of doughnuts, rainbow sprinkles, and Froot Loops. This place is free of judgement and full of partially hydrogenated oils.
When I was young, maybe 11, there was a deli by my mom's office where anything was possible. While at home it was all unsalted almonds and apple slices, at the deli, my sister and I were allowed to buy huge turkey sandwiches slathered in mayo on squishy white buns, chips in every shape and flavor, canned ice tea with an ingredient list a mile long, and most importantly, snack cakes.
Drakes, Hostess, or some off-name brand— all were equally alluring, and equally pumped full of enough preservatives to last for 20 years. I loved 'em pink or orange or coated in chocolate, frosting laid on thick and matte like sugary glass, cream squeezing out with no trace of dairy. You could smell that candy-sweetness wafting off of the shelves, blowing right through the cellophane packaging. Rolls, logs, cupcakes, balls, rings, whatever —I loved them all.
On this multi-part Snack Attack installment, we're going to celebrate snack cakes in all of their artificial glory. So before we begin, I need to hear from the loud and proud masses— what are your favorite snack cakes? Which names awaken ancient feelings of love in your heart? What brands do you still secretly buy sometimes? Have you tried every kind of Little Debbies? Do you know the difference between Yodels and HoHo's? Any Pennsylvania natives who believe it's TastyKakes or bust?
Come to me, my snack-loving friends! Let us revel in the joy of snack cakes together.
About the author: Aside from doing an awesome job with her role as Advertising Sales Manager, Leandra Palermo secretly harbors a lifelong passion with all things cereal and snack-related. This column represents the culmination of that love affair.

Alumni Profile
Danielle Goldberg, SIS/BA/MA '02/'04
Why I chose SIS:
I was initially a communications major. I remember the moment when my roommate, an SIS major, told me about the human rights abuses committed against women in Afghanistan. I switched to SIS once I realized that if I wanted to "communicate," I had to do so with purpose and a greater understanding of world affairs.
How I make a difference in the world:
As Program Coordinator for Columbia University's Program on Peace-building and Rights, I seek to support countries undergoing post-conflict transition through dialogue initiatives, educational exchanges and curriculum reforms that reduce hostile perceptions.
In this role, I've conducted capacity building activities for Darfuri civil society leaders and facilitated track-two dialogue among Turks and Armenians. I co-authored a conflict resolution curriculum for Sri Lanka's Ministry of Higher Education, and will soon train faculty throughout the Western Balkans to transfer the curriculum to their universities. Last summer, I worked with the Association of War Affected Women and 2011 Nobel Laureate Leymah Gbowee to launch the Sri Lankan Women's Agenda for Peace Security and Development. I'm also working with women's networks in Myanmar to launch a similar program catered to the needs of Myanmar women.
Field of Study:
International Peace and Conflict Resolution, with a particular focus on the role of women in peace-building and a geographic concentration on both Africa and Latin America.
SIS Activities:
I participated in training through AU's Mediation Services, helped launch the "Journal of Peacebuilding and Development," and facilitated dialogue groups with undergraduate students studying peace paradigms. I studied abroad in Madrid my junior year and conducted graduate field research in Mexico.
English and Spanish
World Issues of Interest:
Peace-building and reconciliation, youth leadership, women's role in peace-building, peace education, social entrepreneurship, civil society building, dialogue processes and post-conflict reconstruction.
Professional role model:
My colleague David L. Phillips, Director of the Program on Peace-building and Rights at Columbia University. He demonstrates what is possible when you combine a policy relevant, practical course of action with strong partners on the ground and the will to see anything through with integrity and hard work.
Favorite Poem:
"If" by Rudyard Kipling. Through all the challenges I have faced working in delicate political environments in peace-building, the words of this poem always serve as a beacon of light to maintain my conviction and higher intention through it all.
Favorite Movie:
Clint Eastwood's "Invictus," on Nelson Mandela. I watched it while I was living in Colombia, a country itself struggling to achieve long-term reconciliation. The film was an incredibly inspiring story on what it takes to be a catalyst for change.

• badger •
Pronunciation: bæ-jê(r) • Hear it!
Part of Speech: Noun, Verb
Meaning: 1. (Noun) A carnivorous burrowing mammal of North America with short legs, long claws, a grizzled, gray coat, and a white head with a black mask around the eyes (family Mustelidae). 2. (Verb) To pester with constant nagging for something, to harass continuously with a request or demand.
Notes: Today's Good Word doesn't offer any stable derivatives, though badgerly "badger-like" and badgerer "a badger-hunting dog" have been used sporadically in the past. Like stodgy, this word contains an unnecessary D, but it represents no spelling problem if we remember that badger is based on badge (see Word History).
In Play: "Badger" is a popular name for dachshunds, whose German name means "badger hound" because of this breed's ability to enter badger burrows in pursuit of the animal: "Badger has been out badgering badgers again, I'm afraid". However, these days anyone can badger: "Mom constantly badgers me to get rid of my pet groundhog."
Word History: Today's Good Word first made print in 1523 as bageard "something with a badge", from bage "badge" + -(h)ard "who does X, has X, or is X". This suffix is related to Middle German hart "bold" and Modern English hard and hardy. It is visible in many names like Gerhard, Richard, and Bernhard. This suffix apparently was added to badge for the badge-like white blaze on the animal's forehead (see picture). The verb came along in 1794, reflecting the behavior of dogs hunting badgers or badger-baiting. (Margie Sved did not have to badger us a bit to run today's Good Word, which she very kindly suggested.)

The sheer size of Australia's banks is shaping up as one of the more interesting issues facing this year's inquiry into the financial system. But maybe not in the sense you would imagine.
We all know Commonwealth Bank, Westpac, NAB and ANZ are gargantuan institutions. Aside from dominating lending, deposit-taking, and payment services, they also make up nearly a quarter of the sharemarket. Most of the time, this is viewed through the prism of competition. That was certainly the context when Joe Hockey announced his initial inquiry terms of reference (since updated) from opposition in 2010.
But perhaps the bigger question facing inquiry chairman David Murray - a former CBA boss - is the impact their size has on stability.
That's the issue that's vexing regulators and economists around the world, and it's one we would do well to look at here as well.
More than other big businesses, banks are interwoven into the fabric of the economy. With $2.2 trillion in assets, mainly loans, the big four's assets are worth half as much again as Australia's gross domestic product (GDP).
Any business of this size, but especially a financial business, poses unique risks to an economy.
While scale can bring advantages from increased efficiency or cheaper funding, it also means authorities have no choice but to bail them out if they get into trouble. They are ''too big to fail''.
Perversely, this implicit guarantee can encourage managers to take more risk than they might otherwise, which only makes financial distress more likely.
Five years after the global financial crisis, policymakers are yet to resolve this thorny issue. Global rules on ''too big to fail'' will be a key item on the agenda for the G20 meetings of world leaders in Australia later this year.
So, how are we handling it so far?
In late December, the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority finalised rules on domestic systemically important banks - forcing the big four to set aside billions more to make them better able to absorb losses.
This is being done in most countries and is undoubtedly sensible. But a lively international debate continues about whether these types of measures go far enough. And the discussion is being led not by bank-bashers, but by insiders.
A former International Monetary Fund chief economist, Simon Johnson, argues the global ''too big to fail'' problem is now more acute than it was before the collapse of Lehman Brothers in 2008. Why?
Because after the turmoil caused by Lehman's failure, distressed banks received equity injections from taxpayers during the GFC, rather than being wound up. No bank received an equity injection in Australia, but the sector did have access to a taxpayer guarantee on new borrowings.
As a result, investors assume the big banks will again receive help if they get into trouble. Standard & Poor's explicitly factors this into its AA minus credit ratings for the big four.
Governments here and overseas are trying to change this perception, by forcing banks to write ''living wills'' that would allow for the ''orderly'' failure of a bank, in which shareholders would wear some pain.
But in Australia, so far, these have not been enough to change S&P's view. It assumes the government would be ''highly supportive'' of a lender in distress, and this raises its credit ratings for the big four by at least a notch.
The effects of this ''too big to fail'' status need to be explored, and the Murray inquiry looks like the ideal opportunity. After all, the growth in Australian finance stands out internationally.
A 2012 paper by academics Patrick Bramer and Hirst Gischer said the total balance sheet of the big four as a share of GDP rose from 93 per cent in 1995 to 193 per cent in 2010. The only other country to experience a bigger surge was Great Britain.
The Bank for International Settlements has also highlighted the risks of having a super-sized financial sector, if they weren't already obvious. In 2012 it published research suggesting financial sectors of more than 6.5 per cent of an economy's value added became a drag on activity. Australia's financial sector is above this level, at about 8 per cent.
Even bankers, and not just those from smaller lenders with a vested interest, say Murray should be looking at the size of the big four.
In an interview with BusinessDay in December, former Westpac chief executive Bob Joss said the balance sheets of Australian banks might have to play a smaller role financing lending. Instead, he said, investors could fund more lending directly, such as by buying corporate bonds.
''The bigger the balance sheet gets, the more important the issue of government backing becomes,'' Joss said. ''Australia is now sophisticated and advanced and prosperous enough, you would expect perhaps to see more flowing through markets and the banks could all assist that with their capital markets groups instead of putting it on their balance sheet.''
The big banks are already lobbying against any rise in regulation from the inquiry, arguing they have proven resilient in recent years.
This may be true, but it's not an argument for excluding them from a key global debate. If there's a lesson from the long aftermath of Lehman's collapse, it's that, in finance, bigger isn't always better.

If the width does not change, I can see the height being a good thing. It will look weird at first, but when reading web pages or text it will be really nice, even in landscape mode. Thinner will be interesting, as the i4 is snug in my palm with a thin case, and maybe too thin with no case.
Should've kept the screen size from all their other phones. It'll ruin the AppStore as well as iOS layout. It will ruin apple just like the different screen sizes ruined android.
Also, if the app developers could adjust/update their apps for retina display what's preventing them from updating them for an increased screen size? If nothing else, the old apps will just run on the same size leaving some black space on the screen. Just like running an iPhone app on an iPad...except it won't be nearly as annoying.
It didn't ruin android, but it sure as hell made it more difficult to develop for. First thing that comes to mind, is theming, it'll add another platform to theme for, and would require different size images. Not a huge deal, but I think it will affect what we see on our devices a little. Also, the latency bug for real time audio encoding in android, has slightly more negatives than the different screen sizes. And yes, I can give you a link :P
I definitely agree with those that realize all the different android sizes made it difficult for success for androids software. Sure they have success but they just sell a lot of different phones which is a different approach then apple where apple thinks quality android thinks quantity.
Also phone sizes matter. You can go to any electronics store and get an iPhone case however with all the different android sizes and phones you can't expect to get a case for your phone at every electronics store
I agree with the above. Too thin and it won't feel right as I don't like my phone in my hand without a case..feels like it will slip out and fall. As for competing with Android size..i don't think that is a game breaker. iPhone has had a 3.5" screen since it was launched and has outsold Android to date. I personally like the 3.5" screen and know its going to get some getting used to for myself, once the new phone drops. Very excited!
Some developers havent even upgraded to retina display for the iPhone 4/4s yet. What makes you think that everyone will upgrade their apps? Its kinda like when apple came out with the iPad not everyone that made an iPhone app made their apps compatible with the iPad. Most iPhone apps on the iPad look sh***y. So depending on the developers isnt the best thing in the world to do.
next iphone better not look like this because this looks like a 4/4s with a bigger screen and a color scheme. I had skipped the iphone 4s and kept my iphone 4 because it looked the same. So far i noticed that apple redesigns the iphone every 2 years like the iphone 3g to iphone 4 with the exception of the original iphone to iphone 3g. I am hoping for a really good redesign. I prefer the ipad 2 curves and style be appiled to the next iphone with an aluminum back and bigger screen. I rather have both the internals and outside design upgraded. I prefer the best of both worlds rather than just having a phone that looks the same and has upgraded internals with a betta camera.

I wonder if you can help?
I have created this webpage: www.ucsite.co.uk/index.htm
All my sections and divs are sized using percentages with the exception of the header which has a height of height: 17.5em. As soon as I change it to a percentage the whole site falls apart. This suggests to me I have done something wrong. It would be great if someone could point out what. I like learning from my mistakes
Many thanks,
No, you have done nothing wrong. The header is a child of section "backgroundcolour" which has no measured height assigned; therefore, there is nothing on which to base a percentage height. "Percentage of what?".
In general, container heights should be free to extend with the flow of content rather than restricted to a specific number. It looks to me like the header is working fairly well as is, but maybe that's just luck. Have you taken a good look at the footer? Kinda crunches when the window narrows. I didn't try zooms.
It would be a nice idea to center the container for wider browsers, as it sits to the left on mine. (Anyhow, that's a minor point.)
ronpat's point about not setting heights is an important one to heed. The ideal is for your header to contain its contents naturally, and you can do that with things like overflow: hidden or the clearfix method.
Regarding the footer, it's better to associate the background image directly with the element it visually applies to, to avoid overlaps like you get when the text is resized or the browser window adjusted, as ronpat described.
Thanks for your Feedback. I will take a closer look at those things.
Thanks both of you for your help/reminders. I have acted on your recommendations and am much happier with it - no more niggles!
BUT - my overlapping contact box with the photo in it (next to the logo) is no longer acting like the top layer. Can't see why. Can you?
Yes, it's a z-index issue. Try changing this:
header {
background-color: white;
z-index: 0;
position: relative;
width: 100%;
to this:
header {
z-index: 20;
position: relative;
width: 100%;
Note the higher z-index and the removal of the background color.
That did it! Thank you.

LAKE WALES, Fla. - The Polk County Sheriff's Office Animal Control Section confirmed Tuesday, January the first positive Rabies case in Polk County for the year.
On Wednesday, January 18, 2013, a bat was impounded by PCSO Animal Control from 355 1st Avenue North in Lake Wales.
The homeowner saw his three dogs sniffing around an injured bat just outside the house.
The bat's carcass was sent for testing and was confirmed positive for rabies by the state laboratory.
Animal control reminds residents that bats and raccoons are among the mammals considered to be high risk species or "rabies vector species" (RVS).
They say not to approach any animal which is acting in an unusual or suspicious manner.

POLICE are hunting a gun-wielding raider after an attempted armed robbery in broad daylight at a bookmakers last night.
Armed officers joined plain-clothed police in the search after the incident at Coral in Wimborne Road, Winton, which took place at around 5.25pm.
Some could be seen conducting enquiries in the road while carrying weapons.
Sergeant Chris Ingram, of Winton Police Station, said: "An armed robbery has taken place.
"One male is currently being looked for by officers.
"Anyone with information is asked to call Dorset Police on 101, quoting incident number 336:22."
Later a Dorset police spokesman said: " A male entered the bookmakers brandishing what appeared to be a handgun. The male left empty-handed and disappeared into Latimer Road, possibly into a car."
The bookies, at the junction with Latimer Road, remains cordoned off by police while investigations take place.
Four police cars, two armed response units and the police helicopter joined the search for the culprit.
No one was injured in the incident.
Tom Beasley, 19, editor of Bournemouth University's student paper, The Rock, said: "I just stumbled across this.
"Winton is usually quite quiet, so I'm surprised to see it."
Joe Penfold, of Charminster, had been trying to visit the shop to place a bet on a football game when he saw the police activity.
He said: "I'd heard there was a gun squad here going door-to-door, and that there had been a robbery, but it's still a bit of a shock.
"I've heard everyone's alright, which is good news."
Rachel Evans, 67, who lives in Winton, said the news was "a scandal".
"You just can't believe the cheek of it," she said.
"It's still daylight. What's the world coming to?"

Simon Murray's curriculum vitae – complete with a stint in the Foreign Legion, a love of helicopter flying and a penchant for endurance running – suggests he is an old-fashioned man's man. But man's men have learnt to keep to themselves any unreconstructed views on women in business. Instead, the newly appointed chairman of Glencore ran straight into a wall of criticism after telling the UK's Sunday Telegraph that women are "not so ambitious in business as men because they've better things to do. Quite often they like bringing up their children…"

Nice script but some remarks, just by reading the script :
- You should let the user choose the interface he wants to use (I sometimes don't use airmon-ng to put in monitor mode and directly use my wifi card that airodump puts in monitor mode). But since you say you wanted to do something idiot-proof, not leaving the choice can be good!
- When launching airodump to show APs, maybe add a -a option to avoid non-associated clients to show up.
That is all ! Also, maybe some error checking, but since I suck at that, I can't really tell people to be cautious with that (and I know it's a bad behavior I have to change...)
I'll try to give it a try and I'll edit this post to report!
EDIT: So I tried it and... it failed me, sorry! Well, I didn't want to wait for hours getting a data packet, so I'll try again while I use the connection to generate data packets.
Also, you should try using xterm windows instead of konsole. You can get their pid and kill them once you don't need them anymore. (I'm just realizing it should be the same with konsole...) But anyway xterm windows are prettier and configurable !
I hope this helps

So many ChristianMingle members have found their soulmates! Now, find yours.
If you're one of many Christian Reformed singles, you cherish the sovereignty of God and live your life according to the authority of Scripture and the need for disciplined holiness. You're committed to the equally important prayers "Lord, keep us obediently in you" and "Lord, make us one," aiming for unity among Christians. ChristianMingle has the same goal, working to build the worldwide Christian community through events, thought leaders and non-profit organizations. We also understand that not everyone approaches Christianity the same way and that you might lean towards a different place on "the faith spectrum." If Christian Reformed singles are not quite you, you might be more compatible with Catholic singles. Or maybe you'd like to attend services with Pentecostal singles.
Compatibility is the key to a successful match. Your ChristianMingle profile is so quick and easy to create, yet offers the total picture of you - from your lifestyle, interests and goals to exactly what you want out of a relationship. You might be looking for a long-term partner. Or a dinner companion who shares your love for certain cuisines. If you've just re-entered the dating waters, an extra gradual pace may be more your pace. We want to help you find exactly what – and who – you're looking for!
We put you in the driver's seat, but are always here to help you navigate your online dating journey. We offer the latest advice on relationships, plus tips on safe dating, online and off (link). And no question is too big or too small for our customer service team!
Meet your Christian soulmate today! Why wait to find the person who's truly right for you? When you register at ChristianMingle.com and create your profile, the romantic possibilities are endless! And browsing is FREE!
"I often say 'small world, Big God.' This was definitely the case when it came to our ChristianMingle dating experience. Aaron and I are so grateful, and praise God for using ChristianMingle as the resource that brought us together!"
Having been a single Christian woman for years, many of my friends suggested online dating at one time or another. However, at that time, I did not agree it was for me. In August of 2013, I had been single for over 8 years. Still, I was not willing to compromise my faith in my dating life, or settle for less than God's best for me, and I had full confidence and trust that the Lord faithfully had my best interests at heart, in dating, as well as in all other aspects of life. Then, in late 2013, I felt that there had been a release in my spirit to try online dating. Whatever had been holding me back from choosing to use this dating tool before, now felt lifted. I decided to give it a try.
Aaron was a single dad, with little time or means to explore dating options, but with a heart that desired to find the one that God had for him as well. So, at a family member's urging, he signed up with ChristianMingle in 2014. From a simple "smile," our communication began on September 4, 2014. It took no longer than our first date later that month to know that we had found something more than special; we had found the one that we'd been searching for.
We were married in April 2015; our wedding was described by our family and friends as one of the most God-honoring and beautiful ceremonies they have ever witnessed. We were humbled by, and truly blessed, to enjoy an outpouring of love and joy from beloved friends and family at our wedding celebration.

Search crews worked Saturday to capture any final pings from the data recorder thought to belong to the missing Malaysian jet as the signals slowly faded, Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott said on the final day of his trip to China.
Abbott said the signals, critical in narrowing the search area, were "rapidly failing" and high-tech detection instruments had captured no new pings since Tuesday. The batteries in the data recorder are designed to last about a month.
Triangulation of the four pings captured so far had narrowed the search area to 500 square miles in the southern Indian Ocean, a swath of seabed the size of Los Angeles and nearly 3 miles deep.
With those parameters, Abbott said, the search is a "massive, massive task" that is likely to take a long time. Abbott said, however, that he remained confident that the signals did come from the "black box" data recorder belonging to the Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 that disappeared en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing on March 8 with 239 people aboard.
MORE: Search area for Malaysia jet narrowed down significantly
"No one should underestimate the difficulties of the task still ahead of us," he said.
A U.S. Navy ping locator towed by the Australian ship Ocean Shield detected two signals a week ago and another two on Tuesday.
After the searchers narrow down the data recorder's location as much as possible, they will send a slow-moving robotic submersible, the Bluefin 21, to probe for the wreckage. It could take up to two months for the device to search the current, 500-mile zone.
