Esquire 50 Novels All Men Should Have Read
The Lighthouse begins on a North Sea ferry, on whose blustery outer deck stands Futh, a middle-aged, recently separated man heading to Germany for a restorative walking holiday.
Spending his first night in Hellhaus at a small, family-run hotel, he finds the landlady hospitable but is troubled by an encounter with an inexplicably hostile barman.
In the morning, Futh puts the episode behind him and sets out on his week-long circular walk along the Rhine. As he travels, he contemplates his childhood; a complicated friendship with the son of a lonely neighbour; his parents' broken marriage and his own. But the story he keeps coming back to, the person and the event affecting all others, is his mother and her abandonment of him as a boy, which left him with a void to fill, a substitute to find.
He recalls his first trip to Germany with his newly single father. He is mindful of something he neglected to do there, an omission which threatens to have devastating repercussions for him this time around.
At the end of the week, Futh, sunburnt and blistered, comes to the end of his circular walk, returning to what he sees as the sanctuary of the Hellhaus hotel, unaware of the events which have been unfolding there in his absence.
The Lighthouse from Salt Publishing on Vimeo.
'Melancholy and haunting. The sense of loneliness and discomfort and rejection is compelling, the low key prose carefully handled. It's a serious novel with a distinctive and unsettling atmosphere.' —Margaret Drabble
'A haunting and accomplished novel.' —Katy Guest
'It is this accumulation of the quotidian, in prose as tight as Magnus Mills's, which lends Moore's book its standout nature, and brings the novel to its ambiguous, thrilling end.' —Philip Womack
'No surprise that this quietly startling novel won column inches when it landed on the Man Booker Prize longlist. After all, it's a slender debut released by a tiny independent publisher. Don't mistake The Lighthouse for an underdog, though. For starters, it's far too assured ... Though sparely told, the novel's simple-seeming narrative has the density of far longer work. People and places are intricately evoked with a forensic feel for mood. It's title becomes a recurring motif, from the Morse code torch flashes of Futh's boyhood to the lighthouse-shaped silver perfume case that he carries in his pocket, history filling the void left by its missing vial of scent. Warnings are emitted, too – by Futh's anxious aunt and an intense man he meets on the ferry. It all stokes a sense of ominousness that makes the denouement not a bit less shocking.' —Hephzibah Anderson
'The writing is sublime. Spare, sometimes straightforward and sometimes quite opaque. But regardless of the overall transparency, the immediate images of the room or the street or the clifftop are crystal clear, conjured from very few but very well chosen words. The people, too, feel real. They have complex emotions and don't always do logical or sensible things, but they always convince. As they move around one another in still, empty spaces they create a dramatic tension that the reader can almost touch. We wish their lives could be better.' —Amazon.com
'This is powerful writing likely to shine in your memory for a long time.' —Emily Cleaver
'Evocative and beautifully written in a spare and simple prose, this is a haunting, sombre and somewhat unsettling story that pulls you in quietly, yet powerfully; I downloaded this onto my Kindle early this morning and read it from the beginning to the rather surprising end in one sitting. We know it is on the longlist for the Booker Prize; it deserves to make it onto the shortlist and I, for one, very much hope it does.' —Amazon.co.uk
'The Lighthouse is a stunning book. Read it. Then read it again.' —Zoe King
'Alison Moore's writing is exquisite, the prose simple and powerful, but it's the use of imagery which really marks it out as something special.' —Sue Magee
'In The Lighthouse Alison Moore has created an unsettling, seemingly becalmed but oddly sensual, and entirely excellent novel.' —Alan Bowden
'Alison Moore's debut novel has all the assurance of a veteran, a strong contender for the prize, its sense of despair will either be its making or its undoing: 9/10.' —Roz Davison
'Ultimately,what drew me into this bleak tale of sorrow and abandonment was the quality of the writing – so taut and economical it even looked different on the page somehow – and so effective in creating a mounting sense of menace and unease. It never flinches.' —Isabel Costello
'This is an incredibly powerful, sad story. A beautiful, if austere book. And an amazingly talented writer. If it is a first novel, I guess it will not be the last because this is the kind of writing that is here to stay...' —Josephine Huys
'Moore's writing has a superb sense of the weight of memory.' —Kate Saunders
'The Lighthouse is a spare, slim novel that explores grief and loss, the patterns in the way we are hurt and hurt others, and the childlike helplessness we feel as we suffer rejection and abandonment. It explores the central question about leaving and being left: even when it feels inevitable, why does it hurt so much, and why is this particular kind of numbness so repellent to others? The brutal ending continues to shock after several re-readings.' —Jenn Ashworth
'The Lighthouse looks simple but isn't, refusing to unscramble what seems a bleak moral about the hazards of reproduction, in the widest sense. Small wonder that it stood up to the crash-testing of a prize jury's reading and rereading. One of the year's 12 best novels? I can believe it.' —Anthony Cummins
'The writing in The Lighthouse is spare and deceptively simple – there is in fact nothing simple about it – it is the kind of pared down writing that hides a multitude of complexities and leaves behind it an array of images and in this case scents. Upon closing this terribly bittersweet novel, the reader is assaulted by the memory of violets, camphor and cigarette smoke. There are several returning images and motifs in the novel, such as lighthouses, bathrooms, scents and abandonment which are beautifully explored.' —Heavenali.wordpress.com
'This is a book that might have vanished had it not been picked up by the Booker judges. It deserves to be read, and reread. No laughs, no levity, just a beautiful, sad, overripe tale that lingers in the mind.' —Isabel Berwick
'What must have gone some way to earning The Lighthouse a place on the longlist, though, is the admirable simplicity of Moore's prose. Like Futh, its without flourishes, yet beneath its outward straightforwardness lies a hauntingly complex exploration of the recurring patterns that life inevitably follows, often as a consequence of one's past.' —Francesca Angelini
'The Lighthouse, Alison Moore's melancholic debut, would eventually have found admiring readers through the great network of word of mouth. That it has been shortlisted, deservedly, for the Man Booker Prize will quicken the process. This is a beautiful short novel sustained by muted urgency, nuance and the exactness with which Moore conveys the paralysing levels of depression that Futh battles. In order to deal with the present he attempts to make sense of his past, which refuses to fade away. His thoughts throb with humiliating episodes from his boyhood, cut short when his bored, dissatisfied mother left, leaving his father to voice his anger at his only audience, the bewildered boy.' —Eileen Battersby
'A debut novel from a high-achieving independent publisher, The Lighthouse has surprised some observers with its place on the Man Booker Prize shortlist. Disquieting, deceptive, crafted with a sly and measured expertise, Alison Moore's story could certainly deliver a masterclass in slow-burn storytelling to those splashier literary celebs who take more pains over a pyrotechnic paragraph than a watertight plot.' —Boyd Tonkin
'The originality, structure and neat prose of this first novel justify its shortlisting, but it doesn't do much to lift the soul.' —Kate Green
'I am almost reluctant to share anything about Alison Moore's The Lighthouse at this stage, because I don't want to spoil it in any way for others. The Lighthouse is a short novel of only 182 pages, but is – dare I say it – perfectly formed. This is a tense, suspenseful work, the plot ticking like a time bomb.' —Megan Dunn
'"The Lighthouse," Alison Moore's debut novel, is sufficiently strange to win. The third-person narrator is distanced from, but never judges, the weird protagonist Futh, a middle-aged, not particularly attractive, recently separated man going on a walking tour in Germany. He is visiting some places he went to with his newly single father, after his mother abandoned them when he was 12. The people he meets along the way are even less prepossessing than he, but the narrator's tone of voice somehow contrives to make the reader continue to turn the pages.' —Paul Levy
'A man who is newly-separated from his wife but middle-aged, embarks on a walking trip in Germany. At one of the B n B's that he is staying at the landlady is also contemplating her life and marriage. You could be so easily fooled into thinking that this book is mundane and just captures the hum-drum of their every-day lives, but the author, without writing what happens, is telling you really what is going on! You also have to make up your mind as to what outcomes there are at the end. I can't tell you how brilliantly stunning this book is and I think it's a credit to Booker that this has come from a small publishing company, yet packs one hell of a punch.' —RBKC Libraries blog
'The menacing atmosphere Moore builds up is masterful, in that Futh only partly perceives it, through his own preoccupations. A pair of silky knickers he finds under his bed only makes him think squeamishly that the dust on them is 'strangers' dead skin'. Rarely is dullness so dangerous.' —Laura Marsh

BUENOS AIRES (Mar. 20)

I don't follow the George Zimmerman Murder 2 case drama in great detail at the moment because there isn't much going on that is noteworthy until the next court appearance, but a line in a new Reuters story attempting to frame the circumstances that led to the case jumped out at me as being patently false:
George Zimmerman, who is white and Hispanic, is charged with shooting and killing the unarmed, black Martin as he walked through a gated community in Sanford, Florida, in February.
Reuters writer Barbara Liston is entitled to her own opinion, but not her own facts.
If all Trayvon Martin was doing was doing when he was shot was walking, this would have been a case no one outside of Sanford, Florida heard about, a nearly open-and-shut case. George Zimmerman would have been arrested that night and charged, quickly tried, and perhaps sentenced to prison already.
But that isn't reality, or even close to it.
As all witnesses and forensic evidence show—without deviation or exception—Trayvon Martin was not shot and killed "as he walked through a gated community." He was killed in a close-quarters hand-to-hand fight on the ground with George Zimmerman.
Liston can make all sorts of biased arguments if she desires to prosecute Zimmerman in the media. She can cast doubt on his explanation of why he fired his weapon. She can argue that the injuries he sustained while beating beaten up by Trayvon Martin didn't justify a lethal force response. She can even try to claim Trayvon was "just standing his ground" when he attacked Zimmerman, if she wants.
What she cannot do is make up her own facts. Liston is blatantly, purposefully lying, and she deserves to be called out on it.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 28/11/2012 (1727 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
While you were tucked away in your bed last night, a few hundred Winnipeggers braved the cold to vie for first in line - and the chance at $5,000 gift certificate - at the new IKEA.
Luckily, store management decided it wasn't safe for hours of sitting in the cold, and planned to allow up to 1,000 of the first customers inside the store until the official opening at 9 a.m.
There was a mad dash for the doors at midnight, and by 1 a.m. more than 300 people had settled in for an eight hour wait for the store to open.

Modern Mangas
Mangas is the Spanish word for "sleeves."
The mountain people in the Andes wear
the most wonderful ornately knitted sleeves
over their clothing for warmth. They're like
legwarmers for the arms. I fused this familiar
Peruvian silhouette with traditional British
Isle patterning, then added more color
and texture with some not-so-afterthought
embroidery. You don't have to live in the
Andes to fight off the chill with stylish and
thoroughly modern mangas.

About MeMy name is Elie.
I am many things, and some things I am not. I'm 23, a hopeless romantic, fiercely bisexual, and of the feminine gender. I am strange-looking, and probably won't look great in a swim suit. If you're looking for any amount of cleavage or a barbie-doll crotch, this may as well be a 404 error - you won't find them here.
I am not a full time model, nor do I hope to ever be. I have a job, and I study. But modelling is something that moves me in a way not many things do. I never feel more like myself than when I am utterly bare and being captured, sculpted through a lens.
I also adore the friendships I form with photographers. You have all been inspiring, intriguing, sometimes bizarre, but lovely people.
I believe mutual affection really contributes to developing a creative and artistic chemistry between the artist and the model. That's why I prefer to work one on one, and I feel that I work better one on one.
Talk to me, and maybe we will go places.
(I know I have been absent from here a while, and I apologise. Life kind of washed over me over the last 8 months, and modelling became something I couldn't afford to do. I won't bore you with the details - the important thing is that I am back, and I want nothing more than to be in front of a camera again. Perhaps even yours. Talk to me.)
** Instead of a list I have a tumblr, where I store beautiful images I come across.

text: NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Berkshire Hathaway ( BRK-B) has unloaded its holdings of unsecured bonds of Residential Capital, the insolvent mortgage finance unit of Ally Financial, days after seeking an independent investigation of transactions involving Ally and ResCap. It is unclear whether Berkshire's sales, disclosed in a court filing on Thursday, indicate that the company has changed its position in calling for the investigation. A court document filed by Berkshire June 4 raised questions about "dozens of transactions with Ally and its affiliates involving billions of dollars of asset transfers and intercompany financing." A call and email message to Thomas Walper, attorney at Munger, Tolles & Olsen, were not immediately returned on Friday. While Berkshire's $500 million unsecured stake represented more than half of the total unsecured debt of ResCap, Berkshire still owns $900 million--or more than 40%--of the total junior secured bonds issued by ResCap, according to court filings by Berkshire. The unsecured bond sales were first reported by Bloomberg News. ResCap filed for bankruptcy May 14 and proposed to sell the bulk of its assets in two separate transactions. ResCap is the fifth largest mortgage servicer in the U.S., behind Wells Fargo ( WFC), JPMorgan Chase ( JPM), Bank of America ( BAC) and Citigroup ( C). The company tapped Nationstar Mortgage ( NSM) as the lead bidder for its servicing and origination platform, though Ocwen Financial ( OCN), has said it will also bid. -- Written by Dan Freed in New York.

By Linda R. Nelson, MD, PhD
Published in Resolve for the journey and beyond, Summer 2012
Many women younger than 40 experience irregular menses (oligomenorrhea), and some women may even skip periods (amenorrhea) for months at a time. There can be many reasons for irregular or skipped menses in young women, but Premature Ovarian Failure (sometimes called primary ovarian insufficiency) is one of the less common causes.

About Spontaneous Premature Ovarian Failure, RESOLVE's Questions to Ask Series
How one woman chose to become a voice for people with infertility, By Tonya Neufeld
Premature Ovarian Failure (POF) affects 1 in 100 women younger than 40 years of age. This condition needs to be completely evaluated since there are often associated medical conditions that need to be treated. In addition, options for fertility may exist if a woman desires pregnancy.
Ovarian failure usually occurs at menopause when there are very few eggs and follicles left in the ovary. Estrogen levels decline due to the loss of the ovarian follicles that provide high levels of estrogen and progesterone during the menstrual cycle. The average age of menopause is 51 years of age and it is very common for women to have symptoms of estrogen loss and irregular cycles in their mid to late 40's.
However, women with POF have symptoms of early menopause including hot flashes, sleep disturbances, vaginal dryness and painful intercourse along with a lack of regular menstrual cycles in their teens, 20's or 30's.
The first step in making the diagnosis is a blood test to check whether or not the ovary is producing estrogen and the whether the pituitary gland is producing the hormones FSH and LH that stimulate the ovarian follicles. If the pituitary hormones are elevated and the ovary is not producing estrogen, then the diagnosis of POF is made. A transvaginal ultrasound may also be done to evaluate the ovaries. In POF patients, the ovaries are usually small and there are few follicles seen.
In many cases, a cause for POF cannot be found. A history of chemotherapy or radiation treatment for a childhood illness is the most common cause of POF. There are autoimmune causes of POF. In these cases, the immune system attacks endocrine organs including the ovaries, thyroid and adrenal glands. Lab tests can detect some of the antibodies directed at these glands, but it is not possible to detect all the immune factors that may be important. Women thought to have an autoimmune factor will need to have their thyroid and adrenal gland checked regularly because failure of these glands can lead to serious or life-threatening medical conditions.
There are also genetic causes of POF. Evaluation of chromosomes is often the initial step. In rare cases, women may have Y chromosome material present, which can lead to tumors in the ovaries if they are not removed. More commonly, there is only one normal X chromosome instead of 2 and this is called Turner syndrome or monosomy X. Women with Turner Syndrome may also have heart, vascular or kidney problems that need to be investigated. Fragile X syndrome is an abnormal expression of a gene on the X chromosome that leads to mental retardation in boys when the defect is "fully expanded." This genetic defect can also be present as a "premutation" in women with POF. There are other rare genetic defects that may also be diagnosed within families or as new mutations.
Lastly, there can be defects in the production or activity of pituitary and ovarian hormones. In these cases, follicles are present in the ovary but they cannot be stimulated to achieve a pregnancy.
Loss of estrogen can lead to many symptoms (see above) that can be treated with estrogen therapy. There are also several medical conditions that may be prevented by restoring estrogen in young women. These include bone loss (osteopenia) and vaginal atrophy. The relationship of estrogen to heart disease in young women is still controversial, but a lack of estrogen leads to abnormal cholesterol and lipid levels that can be reversed by estrogen therapy. In women without any contraindications, estrogen treatment would be recommended for these symptoms and disorders until the age of natural menopause (around 50 years of age). The risks of hormone use are generally age-related, and your physician will evaluate whether there are any contraindications to taking estrogen and progesterone. If there are, other non-hormonal treatments can be tried, and a healthy diet and exercise are always recommended to prevent heart disease, osteoporosis and obesity.
Infertility results from the loss of healthy eggs and follicles. For young women with POF menstrual cycles can still occur even years after the diagnosis and 10% of women with POF will conceive on their own. This is likely due to ovulation of a healthy egg even after months of skipped menses. There have been attempts to treat women with ovulation induction agents or other medications to improve fertility, but there is a lack of clear evidence that these treatments work. Most women with POF will not get pregnant with their own eggs. However, it is possible to become pregnant and carry a baby using eggs from another woman with a donor egg in-vitro fertilization cycle.
Depression and anxiety are very common in women with POF. A therapist or mental health professional may be able to help with these problems. RESOLVE also provides in-person and on-line support groups that can be very helpful as well.

The reporters at ABC's "Nightline" continued to outdo themselves in their glowing adoration for Senator Barack Obama. Correspondent David Wright, filing a story on Tuesday about the swelling crowds at the Democratic presidential contender's rallies, advised viewers to think of the events as "Springsteen concerts, but the tickets are free."
Describing those who waited outside in the cold for such a rally, he bubbled, "...Everyone waited patiently, because inside...they felt the warm glow of hope." Wright even wondered if the candidate can "redeem politics from mere partisanship."
Descending to a level of fawning that's usually reserved for the subjects featured in Tiger Beat or on "Entertainment Tonight," Wright created a religious metaphor. He rhapsodized, "Obama's true believers respond as though they've spent their whole lives out in the cold." Continuing the analogy, the ABC journalist exclaimed, "Politics doesn't even begin to describe it. A visit to an Obama rally is a pilgrimage."
Wright appeared to deride anyone who refused to jump on the Obama bandwagon as thoroughly uncool, as the type of person who wouldn't understand Frank Sinatra or the Beatles. "To them, the crowds around Obama are as baffling as the bobby soxers once were, screaming for Frankie while their parents worried," he explained.
Wright did feature L.A. Times columnist Joel Stein to provide some sarcasm about the cult of Obama. According to Stein, "It's kind of like being 13 and seeing Shawn Cassidy and we're all just on board. We're on board the Scott Baio train. So, we're not embarrassed when we get together."
But, clearly Wright should be included in the throngs of glowing supporters. He closed the segment with what must be described as one of the most over-the-top statements in the history of "Nightline." According to Wright, the senator's supporters are hoping that "Obama can redeem politics from mere partisanship. Black people hoping he can finally achieve Martin Luther King's dream. White people hoping he can redeem America from the sins of slavery and segregation." Admitting that Obama is not all powerful, he concluded, "It is hard to see how any politician, a mere human, can achieve all that..."
In a previous example of fawning over Obama, "Nightline" co-anchor Terry Moran described the senator as someone who makes "connections" and overcomes divisions.
A partial transcript of the segment, which aired at 11:35pm on February 19, follows:
MORAN: Well, that's Barack Obama's response to efforts by Hillary Clinton and, increasingly, by John McCain to turn his rhetorical skills into a weakness, but there's no denying his soaring oratory has helped him build a massive and fervent following unlike anything we have seen in politics for a while. And David Wright is with the Obama campaign in Texas tonight. David?
DAVID WRIGHT: Terry, they have struck the set here in Houston. We are truly the last ones here and in fact, somebody just turned out the lights, so I'd better talk fast. We've been to dozens of huge rallies like this in dozens of states and with every victory, Obama's congregation seems to be growing. If you've never been to an Obama rally before, a word of advice, go early. Think Springsteen concerts, but the tickets are free. First come, first serve. In Boise, Idaho, a few weeks back it couldn't have been more than 15 degrees out. But outside Taco Bell Arena early on a Saturday morning, everyone waited patiently because inside--
OBAMA: If you arrive together, we will remake this country and we will remake the world.
WRIGHT: --inside, they felt the warm glow of hope.
OBAMA: Keep me in your prayers. You know, make sure that everybody is praying and give me that protective blanket over it.
WRIGHT: Obama's true believers respond as though they've spent their whole lives out in the cold. At rally after rally, a few people literally faint.
OBAMA: [Montage of Obama reacting to fainting]: Is somebody okay? Did somebody just get faint? It looks like we have somebody who may have fainted. Hold on a second, young lady. Are you okay? Why don't you sit down though.
WRIGHT: Politics doesn't even begin to describe it. A visit to an Obama rally is a pilgrimage.
WRIGHT: So when did you fly in?
OBAMA SUPPORTER (FEMALE): I got here at 11:40 last night. I'm dead tired. I've had five hours of sleep in two days.
WRIGHT: But you came all the way from Washington just for this?
OBAMA SUPPORTER (FEMALE): Yes, I did. Yes, I did. I came to see the man.
WRIGHT: From Boise to Baltimore, he's winning them over. For you, is it even a close call between him and Hillary Clinton?
SECOND OBAMA SUPPORTER (FEMALE): Not at all. Because, as he said, she is the past, he is the future and the present. You know, you have to move forward.
OBAMA: There is a moment in the life of every generation, if it is to make its mark on history, where that spirit of hope has to come through.
WRIGHT: From the looks on their faces, they're yearning to hear stuff like that. As though they've waited for so long, they've almost lost hope. And now he comes along.
OBAMA: But we spend our whole lives caught up in being told what we can't do. And what's not possible, and that children have to be poor and race always is going to matter in this country and there's always going to be injustice and the economy can never work for anybody. We're fed that stuff all the time. Mostly by folks who are in power and take advantage of the status quo.
WRIGHT: But those outside the Obama bubble are left scratching their heads. They just don't get it.
SENATOR JOHN MCCAIN: I will fight every moment of every day in this campaign to make sure Americans are not deceived by an eloquent, but empty call for change that--
WRIGHT: To them, the crowds around Obama are as baffling as the bobby soxers once were, screaming for Frankie while their parents worried. Like Beetle-mania must have seemed to Ed Sullivan. As Hannah Montana seems to countless parents today.
JOEL STEIN (LA TIMES COLUMNIST): I'm in the demographic where everyone I know among my friends is in love with Obama.
WRIGHT: L.A. Times columnist Joel Stein has written about what he calls the cult of Obama.
STEIN: It's kind of like being 13 and seeing Shawn Cassidy and we're all just on board. We're onboard the Scott Baio train. So we're not embarrassed when we get together. We just talk about how much we love Obama.
WRIGHT: Some testimonials are nostalgic for an era when hope didn't seem so naive. Others imagined what has never been and asked why not.
OPRAH WINFREY: Disappointment doesn't have to be normal anymore. For the first time, I'm stepping out of my pew because I've been inspired.
OBAMA: Thank you, Oprah. And I love you.
WRIGHT: At this point, the bar is so high even the believers are starting to doubt he can pull it off.
STEIN: We know we're being fooled, but we kind of like it. I can't get off his ride, it's too good.
WRIGHT: The potential for disappointment is as big as Texas. People's hopes have been raised so high. Young people hoping that Obama can redeem politics from mere partisanship, black people hoping he can finally achieve Martin Luther King's dream. White people hoping he can redeem America from the sins of slavery and segregation. It is hard to see how any politician, a mere human, can achieve all that, but it will be very interesting to watch. Terry?
MORAN: And you wonder, David, if all that enthusiasm can sustain itself or if there's going to be some kind of reckoning or hangover. We'll watch as you cover this remarkable campaign. Thanks for that report.

A YOUNG girl surprised America's First Lady Michelle Obama after she gave her a copy of her unemployed father's resume.
Mrs Obama met Charlotte Bell at her annual question-and-answer session with the children of Executive Office employees.
Charlotte, 10, was in the front row and bravely told her that her father had been out of work for three years.
Then the girl popped up to hand Mrs Obama her dad's resume.
"My dad's been out of a job for three years and I wanted to give you his resume," she said.
Mrs Obama seemed taken aback at first, as the event hit an emotional moment.
"Oh my goodness," murmured Mrs Obama, as she wrapped the little girl in a hug.
"Well, it's a little private, but she's doing something for her dad, right?" she said to the audience, who were children of Executive Office employees.
"Got it," she said to Charlotte, taking the resume.
Mrs Obama promised to deal with the matter later.
When the event ended, Mrs Obama gave the girl a hug and then reached back to grab the resume off a table as she left the East Room.

NEW YORK — One big name deserves another. A day after Major League Soccer announced that Manchester United will take on the MLS All-Stars, the league and CAA Sports jointly announced that United and fellow European giants FC Barcelona will participate in this summer's World Football Challenge.
Manchester United and Barcelona are only the first of the big-name clubs expected to confirm their participation in the multi-team tournament taking place in stadiums across the US and Canada this summer.
This year, the WFC also includes, for the first time, MLS teams. The New England Revolution will host EPL table-toppers Manchester United at Gillette Stadium on July 13. The Red Devils will then take on the Chicago Fire at Soldier Field on July 23.
Manchester United and Barcelona—who locked horns in both the 2009 and 2011 UEFA Champions League final — will then meet each other at FedEx Field outside Washington, D.C., on July 30.
Barcelona, meanwhile, will participate further in the World Football Challenge, as will additional MLS clubs, in dates and venues to be announced soon. Tuesday's announced matches conclude the participation of Manchester United, New England and Chicago.
Manchester United were confirmed on Monday as the opponents in the 2011 AT&T MLS All-Star Game at Red Bull Arena in Harrison, N.J., on July 27. Sir Alex Ferguson's side will also travel to the Pacific Northwest to face the Seattle Sounders at Qwest Field on July 20 in a friendly that is not part of the World Football Challenge.
The inaugural version of the World Football Challenge took place in 2009 and featured Serie A clubs AC Milan and Inter Milan, EPL side Chelsea FC and Mexican giants Club América. The teams played a round-robin format in six cities at stadiums including the Rose Bowl, the Georgia Dome, MT&T Bank Stadium, Gillette Stadium, Stanford Stadium and Cowboys Stadium.

Camp Hill, Pa. Rite Aid Corp. said Wednesday it is closing a distribution center in Bohemia, N.Y.
Rite Aid said 60 people work at the facility. They have been notified and will receive severance pay after the closing, which is expected in mid to late May. The 255,000-sq.-ft. center serves 125 stores, and is one of six distribution facilities Rite Aid acquired in June 2007 when the company bought 1,850 Brooks Eckerd stores.
Larger distribution centers in Philadelphia and Rome, N.Y., will replace the Bohemia facility.
Rite Aid says it planned to look for cost-cutting opportunities in distribution once the Brooks Eckerd acquisition was complete.

What is an ERP System?
ERP is an acronym for enterprise resource planning. An ERP system can be defined as a conglomeration of multi-module applications software packages, which integrate activities of different functional departments. In this regard it is important to note that a complete ERP system is made up of not only software, but also an effective combination of business strategies, as well as the users and hardware required to run the ERP software.
Leaders in best ERP system in Sri Lanka
ERP software systems whole over Sri Lanka
Projections and production forecasting was often done in the head of the business owner or company accountant – mental acuity and fantastic memories constituted the means by which business decisions and production schedules were made. While amazing in their own right, such methods had their limitations and as business grew so did the mounds and mounds of paper.
Enter: the computer age. At first these machines were a novelty. The thought of anything remotely akin to ERP software systems seemed the stuff that rockets to the moon were made. When computers were originally introduced to the business world mainly in Colombo, Sri Lanka, they occupied rooms and rooms and thousands of watts of energy was employed for the purpose of doing rather simple calculations.
But as technology exponentially advanced, so did the way in which business computers worked. More and more information could be stored in smaller and smaller spaces and lower and lower cost. ERP software systems are a reflection of increasing business efficiency. ERP software systems play an integral role in business today.

Fresh German consumer event for Cologne
Sure, they tried that in London a few years ago, back when the ECTS was THE Games Show in Europe. Some other guy thought that Britain would be better served by another, competing Games Show. Result? No more Games Show in the UK. Popkomm is a German thing, it doesn't matter in which city it is, it's not going to go abroad. Leipzig's GC has become a global phenomenon in a segment where Germany is a marginal player. Also it won't help that K�ln is fucking ugly, an anonymous Ruhr area city that you could easily swap with any other city surrounding it without the visitors noticing the difference.
I'm not German, I don't live in Leipzig, I don't really give a toss if Leipzig is not going to have a GC in the future or not, but when I see something stupid I like to call it for what it is. Reply 0
If that is the logic then Leipzig GC would have never become what it is. There is no compelling reason for having a big Games trade show in Germany as the country is neither a big market for console games nor home to big publishers. Leipzig's rise was due to excellent timing, sheer luck and a spanking new, and cheap trade centre. Big companies' marketing depts are a bit like sloths: once they get used to a tree they don't like to change it as it means extra work.
After a few years they know what Leipzig has to offer, they know the fair, the hotels etc. You tell them to move to K�ln and you take a massive gamble. Change for change they may end up somewhere else, be Paris, London, Amsterdam or Madrid. Reply 0
What an idiotic mistake. Leipzig GC raised to prominence due to good work and the combined implosion of E3 and the collective suicide of ECTS. Now the Germans are doing an ECTS number themselves...some people never learn.
This will mark the end of the brief dominance of German Games fairs. Expect a rival event based somewhere else (London?) to be announced in the coming months. Reply 0
Endless Ocean
I second the idea of having a second reviewer spending more time with a game and offering another take. I can imagine what happened: stressed reviewer has one day to get through game, deadline looms as he struggles to go further due to the slow pace of the title. He gets annoyed and a superb, innovative title gets 6.
I have been playing games for a very long time and Endless Ocean has been one of the very few titles in the recent years that made me realise there is still magic in this medium.
It's an 8/10 at the very least in my book. Reply 0
Monster Hunter 3 for Wii
Yeah, because Capcom is in the business to lose money. The board sit down and the CEO says "guys, the PS3 version will sell loads, the XBOX360 is the perfect platform, let's do instead a Wii exclusive, it won't sell because in Japan it has been proved that if you don't have HD graphics and super online nobody likes you."
If Capcom decided to go for the Wii is simply because they think they will sell more on the Wii than they would on the PS3. No other reason. Reply 0
On a side note: don't you think that Sony is really starting to look like the Nintendo of the mid 90s? Thinking that are so big they can push unpopular choices (bluray now, a cartridge based format in a CD-ROM era then) down developers and consumer throats only to discover too late that the party is over for them? At the time it was Squaresoft moving FF7 to the PS1 that buried Nintendo, maybe it will Capcom now. Reply 0
This is a knock-out blow for Sony. A major Japanese developer that cancel a million seller franchise title for the PS3 to move it to Wii exclusive...it's going to have major repercussions in Japan. Reply 0

Konami gets moist about Wii
The more I read about it the more I find it intriguing!
A few more detaild from Wired Blog:
I spoke to Dewy's Adventure producer Shingo Mukaitoge, who also produced Elebits, and he's a cool guy. Dewy's Adventure might be described, in a very general and not entirely accurate sense, as Loco Roco in 3D. You hold the controller horizontally, like an NES pad, and tilt the world, and Dewy slides around it. You can't move Dewy directly, but you can make him jump and attack enemies. Get to the end of each stage. Straightforward.
Pressing up and down on the D-pad alters Dewy's temperature. Dewy is a droplet of water, see. Press up and he becomes a floating cloud, able to zap enemies with lightning . Press down and he becomes a block of ice, able to do, uh, something cold. This works with tilting the world in this sort of manner: if there's a body of water, you can jump in it, tilt the world so the water deforms, then turn it to ice. When you tilt the world back, the ice stays that way.
Liking it so far? I'm totally excited for this, even though they didn't have a playable available. It's scheduled for a fall release -- "we want to finish it before it gets too cold outside," Mukaitoge says.
That's what most previews of this game will tell you. What they might not understand, but Mukaitoge and I definitely get, is that this is a throwback to the old Famicom days. Think about it -- doesn't this look and sound like a great old NES game? Simple mechanics, cute characters, and a unique gameplay concept. Hell, you even hold the controller like a NES pad. I think that's exactly what they're going for here -- making a "pure game" for the Wii owners who have fond memories of the old game systems. Reply 0

That's bullshit, Time Pilot is a classic.

So you're igoring what the word "We" actually means and actually assigning it the slang name for urine?
If it had only one "i" I'd read it as "We", but with two to me it sounds a lot more like "wee". Reply 0
You realise that there are more people in Germany than in the UK.
Chuck in France, Spain, Poland etc and the most of Europe bit is just hot air.
You realise that a substantial majority of people in Europe learn English as a second language and when we hear "Nintendo Wii" we still associate it with "piss", don't you?
I am Italian, I work in Berlin (whichi is where I am typing this), I have just asked my colleagues during the lauch break what they tought about the "Wii" and they spent a good 30 minutes coming up with "wee" jokes. Reply 0
So here the recap:
Wii means "piss" in UK, Australia and in most of Europe
Wii means "tiny, puny" in Scotland
Wii means "how" in German and "what" in Dutch
Wii means "yes" in French
Italians and Spaniards don't use neither the "w" nor double vocals, so they won't know how to pronounce it.
In the US it's the sound of an excited little kid
Moreover it does not stands out in text form: I think the with the Wii we will overcome..."
They may as well call it "Nintendo Bye" as they exit the console market. Reply 0
The guys from Kotaku took it well:
After the announcement that the Nintendo Revolution is going to be called the �Wii�, we all feel a little bit sick. This is like drunkenly going home with a Thai stripper and discovering the next morning that not only is she a pre-op transsexual, she�s nine. Jesus, Nintendo.
We don�t really have any words of comfort. We hope you won�t start slaloming down the slippery slope of saccharine idiocy by calling it the Wii, but instead continue to proudly call Nintendo�s new console the Revolution, which evokes Marxism and a defiant fist stabbing at the sky, not the sound of a small child being pushed down a two foot slide.

Nintendo America defends 'Wii'
Look at the "Wii" thread.. 500+ posts.
Look on pretty much every message board (incl non games ones) and people are talking about the name
That's FREE advertising!
Does (for example) the announcement of the ps3's name get this much free press? Nope.
I think it's rather clever of them.
Put some explosive and a timer inside 100 Wii so that they explode and mangle the kids playing with it and you get EVEN more free advertising.
As someone said above there is such a thing as bad publicity. Ask Michael Jackson, ask Gary Glitter.
Nintendo machines ALREADY hav an image problem. Outside the "hardcore gamers" tiny bubble, average Joe does not find them cool, they are perceived as a "kiddie" consoles.
The GameCube looked like that and people did not buy it. Even if it had great games, even if it was much cheaper than the PS2 or the Xbox and offered similar if not better performance.
Now they worked on the image, made finally a piece of hardware you are not ashamed to place it your living room and then they call it "piss"? Or "Wheeeeeeeeee"? Reply 0

A LAKES woman's frantic search for her missing cat ended last night after he was found in a local farmer's barn.
Katherine Patterson contacted vets, knocked on people's doors and handed out leaflets in her bid to find Winston the Great, a Maine Coon tabby.
Katherine, who runs a goose farm with her husband in the Rusland Valley, last saw Winston on Saturday.
She initially feared he'd been stolen because the one-yeasr-old moggy never strayed further than the Pattersons' garden.
"Last night I handed a 'missing' leaflet to a man and he said he had seen a 'big black furry tail' in his barn a few nights ago," said Katherine.
"I knew this must have been Winston's tail he was describing and asked the gentleman if we could investigate the barn. I called: 'Winston!'. And then 'meaow' and out he came from under a log pile.
"I can't believe he's home and I'm in shock he went so far from home! But he's back, safe and happy.
"Thank you to everyone who has been so supportive and helpful."

Interesting facts about the 1950s

SAN ANTONIO -- If you could climb into a time machine and transport to the 1950s, what do you think you would find?
Were times that much simpler? With World War II behind them, and economic growth under way, people were hopeful. The Baby Boom had arrived, and the 1950s seemed to be a pretty good time to be alive.

This week, we celebrate integration. Though it is intrinsically at the heart of what we and our partners do in addressing myriad global health challenges through thoughtful, efficient strategies, today integration is particularly at the fore. For the very first time, there is a global plan to simultaneously take on the two diseases killing more than 2 million young children each year: pneumonia and diarrhea.
The Integrated Global Action Plan for the Prevention and Control of Pneumonia and Diarrhoea (GAPPD), released today by the World Health Organization (WHO) and UNICEF, provides the latest strategies and evidence needed to reduce death and illness from the two leading killer diseases among children. Beyond integration across the two diseases, the GAPPD is an opportunity to meld global and local agendas, giving national governments a comprehensive tool to determine the specific plans, investments, and partners needed to address the unique needs of their countries and achieve the greatest health impact for their citizens.
Global prioritization can only make a difference if it spurs complementary urgency among national governments where diarrhea and pneumonia still claim far too many lives. Engagement among national officials, health ministers, civil society, the private sector, donor agencies, multilateral institutions, and vulnerable communities is an ideal reflection of the GAPPD's integration of prevention and treatment strategies and its combined focus on diarrhea and pneumonia.
PATH is working to integrate our work related to diarrhea and pneumonia across a range of countries and platforms to contribute to this critical global health priority, aligned with the GAPPD framework. Specifically, we will be partnering with governments, international organizations, private-sector entities, and others to maximize utilization of critical interventions proven to reduce illness and deaths from these killers of children – and holding ourselves accountable for achieving clear results.
We will, for example, be building on our work in Cambodia, where about 9,100 children under the age of five die from pneumonia every year, and 2,300 die from diarrhea, integration is already at work. Since 2005, PATH has helped Cambodian officials implement clinical and community interventions that integrate diarrhea and pneumonia control, particularly in rural communities where child deaths are highest. Policy changes at the national level are cascading to provincial, district, and village levels, and empowering volunteers and caregivers to spark change and achieve lasting impact. During a one-year demonstration project, village health volunteers trained through the project hosted more than 450 mother classes, reaching more than 11,000 pregnant women and caregivers with lifesaving messages on pneumonia and diarrhea prevention and treatment. In parallel, Cambodia's national investment provides a model for the translation of integrated policies into action plans and interventions in other vulnerable communities.
With support secured from the world's leading health authorities, the call now shifts to national governments to translate this global framework into reality in the clinics and communities that battle childhood diarrhea and pneumonia every day. The GAPPD offers guidance on tapping into the strengths of national programs that already combine diarrhea and pneumonia interventions; on clarifying roles, responsibilities, and accountability across ministries, sectors and partners; and on dedicating resources to reduce health inequality and reach those in greatest need.
In addition to our commitment to working at country level to ensure access to life-saving diarrhea and pneumonia interventions, we also are helping to turn the action plan into health impact. For example, PATH and World Vision International developed an advocacy toolkit for in-country NGOs and CSOs. GAPPD messages, advocacy actions, and template materials (press release, brief, letter) can be tailored for each country context.
Today's launch of the GAPPD with its complementary resources is a reminder of the crucial value of collaboration and integrated efforts: Global and local officials must work together. Stakeholders such as civil society and the private sector must work together. Governments must engage health workers who must in turn work with their communities, so that diarrhea and pneumonia can be overcome… together.
This post originally appeared on DefeatDD.org. DefeatDD.org provides key documents and links to information on simple, lifesaving interventions that have the potential to significantly impact diarrhea incidence worldwide.

My niece has been diagnosed with ADHD and oppositional defiant disorder (ODD). She's 8 years old and very intelligent for her age – not with school things, but in finding ways around her parents. She's become a master manipulator, trying to run things in her home the way she sees fit and wants them, not the way her parents see fit. She's on medication for the ADHD, which seems to help in school, somewhat. But with the ODD, her family is fighting an uphill battle all the time. She's in therapy, but it doesn't seem to be helping very much. What can we, as a family, do to help my sister not lose her mind?
Therapy is often not helpful for oppositional defiant behavior. Typically, children with oppositional defiance behave well with therapists. They simply don't behave well at home. Other than offer your support and suggest a number of resources, I am not sure if there is anything more you can do as a family to help your sister "not lose her mind."
Among the books that I recommend to families with children experiencing a combination of ADHD and ODD and the type of behavior you describe are "1-2-3 Magic" by Tom Phelan, "Your Defiant Child" by Russell Barkley and "From Chaos to Calm" by Janet Heininger and Sharon Weiss.

Tiki Taane Releases With Strings Attached
Tiki Taane Releases With Strings Attached (Alive & Orchestrated) Album January 2014
On November 3 2012, after months of preparation, Tiki Taane, his whānau and friends came together in Old St Paul's Church in Wellington to record and film the live album 'With Strings Attached (Alive & Orchestrated)' which will be officially released January 31.
With the help of NZ On Air and TVNZ, the crew were able to capture the beautiful and powerful performances of Tiki and his live band The Dub Soldiers, kapahaka group Te Pou O Mangatawhiri and a string orchestra in the angelic setting of Old St Paul's.
"Stylistically we wanted With Strings Attached to cover a wide range of my music catalogue," says Tiki. " We chose classics like solo acoustic number 'Always On My Mind' then delved into an earlier ballad 'Love Your Ways', which I wrote in my Salmonella Dub days. We also included more atmospherically intense songs like 'Tangaroa' and the opening dubstep song 'Whakakotahi', both of which performance-wise, visually feature the power of Te Pou O Mangatawhiri Kapahaka."
The live and orchestrated version of 'Summertime' featuring MC Tali will be released to radio this week.
For the musical score, Tiki was fortunate to work closely with two key members of the prestigious NZ Symphony Orchestra - Steve Bremner who arranged the music and Hamish McKeich who conducted the entire project.
With Strings Attached (Alive and Orchestrated) features talented Shapeshifter friends Pdigsss, Sambora, Nicky and Reno, Jason Johnston (Jakob), and majestic vocalists Ria Hall, Tali and Tiki's Dad, Uekaha Taane Tinorau.
"I'm so proud of this project and excited to release it for you all to hear," says Tiki. "I hope you enjoy this album as much as we did making it."
The TVNZ special of Tiki's With Strings Attached will screen on TVONE, 4 January at 9.30pm.

Apple Fingerprint Scanner Details Leaked In Patent
More information has been leaked regarding the new iPhone 5S's home button revealing an increased chance that it will have a built in fingerprint scanner. The recently found patents seem to explain how Apple will tackle problems of using the main navigation button on the device to allow it to be used to scan the users finger print, possibly, to make a secure purchase within a app. While at the same time providing the useful feature we all know it to do.
The patent suggests that the metal ring around the home button on the iPhone 5S will be capacitive meaning it detects change in electrical charge from your finger. This will trigger a scan when the user holds there finger over the button.
It seems Apple has big plans for the small button which has been rumoured to be axed in previous years. The patent seems to suggest the finger print scanner will not be the only sensor crammed in, since it is likely a NFC sensor plus optical input/output sensors will be hidden there too.

Earthjustice this week won a court order on behalf of Friends of the Earth and Sierra Club that will protect the white sand dune beaches and the endangered species that live on the Fort Morgan Peninsula. US District Court Judge Charles R. Butler, Jr. issued a preliminary injunction that blocks action under permits issued to developers by the US Fish and Wildlife Service. The preliminary injunction was sought by the environmental groups, who argued that FWS violated federal laws when it approved permits for condominium development without considering the significant and potentially devastating impacts to endangered species in the area – in particular, the Alabama beach mouse.
"The way these huge condominium developments have been built is destroying the beauty of our beaches," said Esther Boykin, managing attorney in the New Orleans office of Earthjustice. "Protective sand dunes have been bulldozed, and sea oats and wildlife such as the Alabama beach mouse have been decimated. People come to the beach to enjoy its natural beauty, and that's what we're trying to save. If the plants and animals disappear, we'll be left with a dead ecosystem and a lot of concrete," said Boykin.
FWS issued permits to Fort Morgan Paradise Joint Venture and Gulf Highlands LCC to construct condominiums on adjoining properties on the Fort Morgan Peninsula. The two projects would involve construction of large condominiums near the Gulf of Mexico on approximately 190 acres of wet beach, coastal dunes, wetlands, and scrub habitats. The developers plan to construct a total of six 20-story condo towers, thirteen single-family units, and commercial developments that include 20 more housing units called Beach Club West and Gulf Highlands Condominiums.
"Developing the Fort Morgan peninsula is a recipe for environmental and fiscal disaster, " said Friends of the Earth President Dr. Brent Blackwelder. "It already costs American taxpayers roughly $200 million a year to keep Mother Nature from reclaiming sensitive coastal areas."
The Alabama beach mouse has been a concern for conservationists who see its dwindling population as a signal of the decline of the Gulf coast's natural environment. According to the groups' lawsuit, "the extermination of the beach mouse, a tragedy in and of itself, would indicate that the entire coastal ecosystem has moved closer to death." The court's order prevents "any further 'take' of the Alabama beach mouse and any further destruction of its habitat" until the case can be fully considered by the court.
"Condominiums are not in short supply on Alabama's coast, but native species are," said Neil Milligan of Sierra Club's Alabama Chapter. "The endangered species act requires effective conservation measures in exchange for permits to develop, but Fish and Wildlife isn't upholding that standard."
From 1985 to present, FWS has issued ten permits that allow developers to kill or otherwise harm Alabama beach mice. The FWS has never denied a permit on the basis of protecting Alabama's beaches or its unique habitat for endangered species.
