ROME (Jul. 11)
United Nations Secretary General U Thant, addressing the Italian Society for International Organizations here today, stressed the fact that slow progress has been made in international efforts to provide "guarantees of human rights." He said that "the horrors perpetrated by man against man in Nazi Germany" provoked determination among nations "never to allow the recurrence of the outrages and barbarities of the Nazis."
"This determination," he pointed out, "did not find unqualified support." He noted that there had been "controversies" in the United Nations on the subject of the implementation of human rights covenants which are to translate into precise legal terms the provisions of the Universal Declaration on Human Rights and to set up the machinery for their implementation.
"Either this year or next," he said, "the Third Committee of the General Assembly (which deals with social, humanitarian and cultural affairs), will discuss the problems arising out of the enforcement or implementation of these covenants. These problems will relate to such important questions as to who may complain against violations of civil and political rights and to whom; and how shall the progress in the recognition and enjoyment of economic, social and cultural rights be kept under review and assisted."
He cited as one major barrier to effective implementation of the various conventions on human rights developed through the United Nations the contention that the provision of the Charter that nothing in it "shall authorize the United Nations to intervene in matters which are essentially within the domestic jurisdiction of any state" as meaning that the UN "may not even discuss anything which is considered by a member state to relate to its domestic matters."
The Secretary General said that the procedures for the protection of human rights as set forth in the Charter were clear. He described them as "discussion, study, recommendation, convention, conference, consultation with non-governmental organizations, establishment of commissions and subsidiary organs — including specifically an injunction to set up a Commission on Human Rights — and technical and advisory services."
"While the value of these methods should not be exaggerated, neither should the services themselves be belittled," he said. He asserted that these services "have been used in what can only be called an ever-increasing atmosphere of cooperation by member states with the United Nations in its efforts to promote and encourage human rights."
He said that at the present time, Governments were "sincerely taking part in ever-increasing numbers in periodically reporting on human rights developments in their countries, not only on the progress made, but also on the problems met. The Governments are cooperating, too, in global studies of discrimination in such fields as education, political rights, religious rights and practices and of such rights as the right of everyone to be free from arbitrary arrest, detention and exile."

text: It's official, Henry Cejudo is back for 2012. adidas wrestling has to be thrilled to hear he is back. I was beginning to wonder if it made sense for them to add him as a sponsored athlete. I imagine they knew or it was in his contract that he was going to wrestle in the next Olympics. I guess with Cael, Gable and maybe Rulon still under contract - there was not enough money to keep Cejudo with Asics. Can't wait to find out what is going to be new for 2011-2012 from adidas. It sounds like they are overhauling the entire 2010-2011 line up except the Combat Speed III. There will be a new color combination of the CSIII to look forward to. We should have those images shortly...was promised them middle of January or so.

If you want to get to know George Fox, let him give you a tour of his home office.
It's not a large room, but it's got bits of every passion in his life. The man is a collector.
First, there's the pens numbering in the thousands that line his walls. Next, the Pez dispensers. After that, calculators, eight-track players, Sherlock Holmes memorabilia, pencil sharpeners and more.
Fox spends his "allowance" — the money his wife lets him spend — on acquiring these items. And speaking to him when he is surrounded by them, you have to be willing to take a meandering path to where you end up.
"No matter where you look, there's something that will get my attention," he said.
A conversation about one of his passions quickly moves in another direction when he spots his latest find, a French-made but Japanese retail pen he recently acquired from a person in Korea.
Fox is known widely around the community as an advocate for animals. He is the president of Assissi Animal Refuge and said he thinks he has helped spay or neuter at least 70 feral cats.
He is a member of the Killeen Animal Advisory Committee, the volunteer group that advises the Killeen City Council on animal-related issues. He has worked with Gatesville and Copperas Cove on crafting ordinances.
Fox said he first got involved with animal advocacy when he came across Moose, his beloved Great Dane who died at the age of 12. Moose and another dog had been left chained to a tree.
When the two dogs were discovered, their chains had become tangled. One of the dogs suffocated and Moose needed to have his leg amputated.
Fox, an Oklahoma native who has been in Killeen since 1985, became heavily involved with animals after adopting Moose. He founded Assissi Animal Refuge in 2005, and continues to routinely rescue and foster cats.
He has eight at this time: Fred, Missy, Little Bit, Coco, Pickles, Kiki, Gracie and Callie.

In its third year, the cruise-in events hosted by the Good Old Cruisers and the city of Dry Ridge are open to all show cars, trucks, antiques, classics, muscle cars, sports cars, motorcycles and tractors.
Some area residents say the event is an inconvenience and a potential safety hazard when parts of downtown are shut down to through traffic for the event.
The Williamstown Main Street Merchants want downtown Williamstown to be cleaned up to encourage new growth.
That's the message that merchants plan to bring to city council meeting on Aug. 2.
"Other cities have worked with merchants to clean things up and that's what we want," said Marlene McComas, a long-time business owner in Williamstown.
Debbie Stone, owner of Massage on Main, will serve as spokesperson for the merchants group and has prepared a Power Point presentation for the city council.
Crittenden City Council has a new face at the table, after member Gary Greenwell offered a letter of resignation at the June meeting, citing health issues.
James Purcell, county attorney for 21 years and Grant County District Judge from 2003 to 2006, was sworn into office, by Megan Simpson, the city clerk/treasurer, on July 6 and immediately took his seat at the table. Purcell will finish the term vacated by Greenwell and has filed for election to council in November.
Grilling for
the cause
St. Elizabeth Healthcare-Grant County will hold a grill out fundraiser from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. July 29 on Barnes Road in Williamstown.
The lunch cost $6, which includes: rib eye steak sandwich, baked beans, cheesy potatoes, coleslaw and dessert. All proceeds will go to benefit breast cancer patients.
Free eye screenings
offered at St. Elizabeth
Dr. Charles Breen will conduct free eye screenings at St. Elizabeth Healthcare-Grant County in Williamstown from 9:30 to 11 a.m. July 30.

Daniel Newman, who had previously been convicted of 21 felony sex crimes against children in other northern Kentucky counties, could be eligible for parole after 20 years in prison.
He was arrested May 15, 2009, at his apartment in the Harvesters Subdivision in Crittenden after teachers at Crittenden-Mount Zion Elementary overheard two male students talking about the crimes the previous day.
Melissa Ann Kyle of Dry Ridge became the bride of Jeffrey Ross Burger on May 8, 2010, at Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Fairfield, Ohio.
The bride's parents are Nancy and James Hudson of Dry Ridge and Mark and Lisa Kyle of Carrollton.
The groom's parents are Diane and Ron Cantrell of Fairfield and Ken and Diane Burger of West Chester, Ohio.
The bride wore an ivory strapless satin Oleg Cassini ball gown with a bodice of beaded embroidery and a chapel length train. A cathedral veil completed her attire.
I feel violated! There I said it. No, I haven't been the victim of a violent or even minor crime, but I feel violated anyway.
An unwanted, unwelcome "guest" has invaded my personal space and he's worn out his welcome.
There's a mouse, not in my house, but in the News office.
I recently went on vacation and didn't notice anything amiss before I left. But, upon my return when I opened my closet to put away my camera and purse, I noticed the "gifts" Mr. Mouse had left me.
The family and friends of Charlie Melton are invited to share in the celebration of his 80th birthday from 2 to 4 p.m. Aug. 7 at the Eagle Creek County Club, 990 Crittenden Mount Zion Rd., Dry Ridge.
Guests are asked to R.S.V.P. by calling 859-428-2986 or 859-317-2915.

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- KV Pharmaceutical's ( KV.A) arbitrary and blatantly greedy pricing strategy was considered the dumbest thing on Wall Street this week by readers of TheStreet.
As of late Friday, about 65% of the roughly 175 readers that took our poll thought that KV's decision to hike the price of its new prenatal drug was a particularly bad idea. The company recently won the exclusive rights to produce a shot that helps prevent premature births. However, the shot that once cost about $10 will now cost $1,500. "All the upfront development of the drug was done by the National Institute of Health," Dr. Kevin Ault, associate professor of gynecology and obstetrics at Emory University School of Medicine, told ABC. "You and I paid for that with our tax dollars, it's not like this pharmaceutical company is trying to recoup its investments in research and development, as is usually the reason for the price of new drugs." The Food and Drug Administration's approval to grant KV exclusive rights to the product prevents the pharmacies that had been producing the shot from doing so anymore. It also prevents doctors from using anything but the KV formulation. With approximately 16% of votes, Gilbert Gottfried's tasteless tweets making light of the devastation in Japan was voted the second dumbest thing on Wall Street this week. Gottfried took to Twitter on Monday to make some inappropriate jokes about the tragedy in Japan. He was quickly fired as the voice of the Aflac ( AFL) duck. Aflac quickly cut ties with the comedian following a string of similar comments.

By Franklin Alli, with Agency report
The Dangote Group has so far sunk $140 million (about N23 billion) into its cement grinding plant in the Cameroonian economic capital city, Douala.
The investment, according to the company is to help the country to attain self-sufficiency in cement production and consumption and to halt importation of the commodity into the country, Nigeria as a reference point.
The grinding plant with a capacity of one million metric tons of cement a year and which will be upgraded to 1.5 million metric tons is located in an area called Base Elf on the shorelines of the River Wouri off the Atlantic coastline.
Investigation revealed that Cameroon imports about 500,000 metric tons of cement annually and that the yearly demand for cement is estimated at four million metric tons. Efforts by the government to boost domestic production saw supply increase from 1.6 million metric tons to an estimated 2.2 million metric tons leaving a shortfall of 1.8 million metric tons. To this end, the government invited private sector investment s in the sector. It was based on this that the government signed an investment agreement with the Dangote Group in September 2011.
Abdullahi Bada, General Manager of the Doula plant, noted that the entry of Dangote into the Cameroonian cement industry is premised on the fact that for long, Africa has been a dumping ground for products over which we have comparative advantages and we have seize this opportunity, taking the bull by the horn to make sure Africa has comparative advantage, especially in the area of cement manufacturing.
According to him, the first 50kg bag of 42.5 grade of cement from the plant will be available in the market from August this year.
"As a policy, Dangote Cement worldwide produces 42.5 grade cement because we take the healthy and safety of our people very seriously. We can't rule out the fact that most of the builders and contractors in the rural areas lack engineers to monitor what they do; however, if you have a good product they will be able to come out with standard constructions that will last and won't endanger people's lives."
Regarding competition, he noted, "The cement industry in Cameroon is largely dominated by the Cinmenteries du Cameroun, CIMENCAM, owned by the French group Lafarge, which has for a long time been the only firm in this activity. The presence of the Moroccan group CIMAF whose annual production capacity is 500 tons; a Korean firm is also

I'm not sure what would happen in Ottawa if you referred to next week's federal budget as "the budget" and not "Economic Action Plan 2013," which the government insists is its proper baptismal name.
Perhaps the rebranding police would come along and, next thing you know, you'd be sitting in the hoosegow with some old codger in chains who'd forgotten to put "Harper" in front of "government" or deprived "Canadian navy" of the word "royal."
There's a mania for rebranding around these parts, as The Globe's Jill Mahoney has reported. The latest edict from Ottawa insists that everyone refer to the army as the Canadian Armed Forces, presumably a reminder that our soldiers carry guns into war and not, let's say, cheese knives and stuffed otters. It's all very serious, this business of remodelling the country's image, or why else would the government spend so much time worrying about it?
Other countries, too, make painstaking efforts to shape their brands for the global stage, some more successfully than others. You can only feel sorry for the Balkan country that came up with the tourism slogan "I feel Slovenia," though it's marginally better than "I feel Slovenians." The government of Thailand has hired Canada's own maestro of marketing, Tyler Brȗlé, to update its image, but it's hard to see how you could improve on a country that already boasts beautiful ladyboys and magic-mushroom omelettes. Maybe next year it'll be called Tyland.
"Whoever is in charge of promoting Canada abroad completely has their heads up their asses," celebrity chief Anthony Bourdain said on his show The Layover. "It's all bears and swatting salmon." With that in mind, the website Brandchannel recently looked at what qualities Canada possessed as a brand. Look away now, faint of heart: "The Canadian character," it concluded, "does not lend itself to bold communications." This, of course, need not be the case. We can leverage our strengths – our surly pop stars, our surlier government – to leap onto the world stage. Consider how we might recast ourselves.
Biebland: Canadians of a certain age will remember Quintland, the popular theme park where the Dionne quintuplets were put on display in the 1930s. As the first human zoo, Quintland presaged reality TV – and made a ton of cash.
Just imagine how much more lucrative it would be to keep troubled young star Justin Bieber in captivity. Specially trained keepers would be on hand to arrange his pants at precisely the right bum-baring angle, while whispering the names of his hits to keep him calm. Justin's spelling lessons might coincide with school group visits, for educational value. Celine Dion would surely sing the occasional lullaby, and Carly Rae Jepsen could throw Timbits over the fence. Imagine the endless queues of Beliebers! Imagine how quiet Twitter would be! The entrance fee alone could eliminate the deficit.
Canada – Because Math is Hard: We could use this slogan to sell ourselves to anyone who ever failed high-school algebra. Just as we once provided sanctuary to draft dodgers and runaway slaves, we might now welcome the innumerate and those who suffer from arithmophobia. This isn't a country that worships data, at the moment.
After a stormy tenure, Parliamentary Budget Officer Kevin Page is about to leave his job, which involves helping MPs keep an eye on government spending. His work seemed to resemble horse dentistry more than finance in that he spent most of his time trying to wrench information out of skittish government officials. The job posting seeks someone "impartial, tactful and discreet." And, possibly, good at math.
While we're on the subject, how many other countries can boast that two of their top statisticians have quit in the past three years? If I may paraphrase Oscar Wilde: To lose one number-cruncher may be regarded as a misfortune; to lose both looks like carelessness.
We're No. 11: Canada's recent tumble down the UN's Human Development Index need not be a bad thing. We now have an opportunity to sell our most prized assets – modesty, ambivalence and a deep sense of comfort in the middle of the road. Let Norway crow about being No. 1. At least we can count to 11. Sort of.
Beyond Thunder (Bay) Dome: If modesty doesn't win us friends, then violence will. Stop listening to bleeding hearts who think NHL players should be allowed to retire with their brains still inside their heads. Hockey fighting is what made this country great. Well, hockey fighting and agricultural subsidies. Just imagine how much more exciting the sport would be if, before every game, the announcer's voice boomed through the arena: "Two men enter, one man leaves … on a stretcher."
If hockey's too retro, consider this: Two Canadian women have advanced to the top ranks of the Ultimate Fighting Championship, a sport so bristling in kicks and punches that it could be the Senate on expense-reimbursement day.
Canada has rebuilt itself before. We have the technology. We have the budget – I mean the Economic Action Plan 2013. Let's use it.Report Typo/Error

New England in Brief
Vermont revenues short of targets
MONTPELIER (AP) -- Vermont state revenues are running short of what was forecast both for the month of October and for the first four months of the fiscal year.
Administration Secretary Jeb Spaulding said Tuesday that the state took in nearly $102 million during October, but that was still more than 2 percent below the target for the month.
Year-to-date, general revenues are running about a half of one percentage point shy of what forecasters had predicted in July.
Spaulding said the personal income -- the largest source of revenue for the state -- is running more than 4 percent behind its target for the year.
Putney solar project looking to line up investors
PUTNEY (AP) -- Leaders of a solar project in Vermont are hoping to attract investors.
The SunFarm Community Solar project has leased a vacant field in rural Putney to construct 624 fixed solar panels over an acre. That would produce as much as 150 kilowatts of power.
Project leaders are offering 1,500 shares for purchase to Green Mountain Power customers in order to receive credit on their utility bills over an extended period of time.
SunFarm founder Nick Ziter comes from a line of entrepreneurs in Windham County, with ties to the Putney Inn and A Vermont Table in Putney, and the old Ziter's Market in West Brattleboro.
SunFarm hopes to start construction before the end of the year.
Slow-moving tortoise case dismissed in Vt.
NEWPORT (AP) -- It took a while, but the case of 100-pound stolen tortoise has finally been dismissed in Vermont.
In 2010, Zachary Barbeau of Irasburg was charged with possession of stolen property, a misdemeanor, accusing him of taking the 2-foot-long African spur-thighed tortoise from its owner in Albany.
Barbeau, then-20, had worked on the tortoise owner's property but denied stealing it. He told police that he didn't feel that Peter Lowry had cared for the reptile properly.
Barbeau was accused of bringing the tortoise to a friend, who turned it into police.
The tortoise was returned to Lowry unharmed. Barbeau was to complete a local community justice program, but for some reason he didn't complete it.
On Nov. 6 a judge dismissed the case.
"Unfortunately, given the lack of resources committed to the Vermont Judiciary, we do not have the luxury of entertaining minor cases indefinitely," Judge Howard VanBenthuysen wrote.
2 logging companies to pay $150,000 in fines in Vermont
MONTPELIER (AP) -- The Vermont Attorney General's office says two logging companies will pay a total of $150,000 in fines for improper timber harvesting.
The office says Adrien Inkel and Son Inc., and Stephane Inkel, Inc. failed to follow current use forest management plan on their 2,113-acre parcel in Bloomfield.
Under the court-approved settlement, the companies will pay the state for four violations of its "Heavy Cut" law. The law was enacted in 1997 and requires landowners to follow sound forest management practices when heavy cutting 40 acres or more.
Vermont Air Guard members to deploy
to Afghanistan
COLCHESTER (AP) -- Thirty members of the Vermont Air National Guard engineering squadron are expected to be in Afghanistan by January.
Colonel Michael Morgan is with the 158th Fighter Wing of the Vermont Air National Guard and says the airmen will work at airfields doing similar functions as a Public Works Department.
Col. Michael Morgan said the Air Guard members will start deploying soon. He said their duties will include maintaining heat and hot water, in addition to aircraft.
They are expected to be in Afghanistan for six months.
N.H. Tech Council scholarships get boost
CONCORD, N.H. (AP) -- Students pursuing degrees in tech-related fields in New Hampshire will now be eligible for more scholarship money, thanks to an agreement between the New Hampshire High Tech Council and the state's public colleges and universities.
The chancellors of the University System of New Hampshire and the Community College System of New Hampshire recently signed a memorandum agreeing to contribute matching funds to the tech council's Kocher Scholarship Program.
The agreement will enable the council to award more scholarships at higher amounts. Awardees now will receive $4,000 scholarships. Applications will be accepted for the next round of funding from Jan. 1 to Feb. 28.
UNH leads project
on newborn heart screening
DURHAM, N.H. (AP) -- The University of New Hampshire is using a three-year, $900,000 federal grant to address regional gaps in newborn screening for heart disease.
The UNH Institute on Disability was awarded the grant from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to address the challenges of implementing newborn screening for critical congenital heart disease in New England. Officials say those challenges include staffing limitations at public health agencies and birthing facilities, as well as the wide geographic distribution of birthing facilities across the region.
The project's goals include enhancing connections between state public health departments and hospitals and making sure that families have access to diagnostic and treatment services regardless of how far away they live from major cities.

PORTSMOUTH, N.H. (AP) -- Workers on the new Memorial Bridge connecting New Hampshire and Maine have installed a concrete deck on the Portsmouth side and plan to have the sidewalks ready before Thanksgiving.
The contractor working on the bridge says the approach will serve as the entryway to a new span to the south to be put in place in January.
On the Kittery, Maine, side, four new concrete piers have been completed and some beams have been installed for four out of five spans of a new approach.
The new bridge is expected to be completed by July 2013. The old Memorial Bridge connected the two communities for nearly 90 years.
Massachusetts making new push to add to housing stock
BOSTON (AP) -- Gov. Deval Patrick is unveiling new initiatives that he says will help create an additional 10,000 multi-family units of housing in Massachusetts each year.
Patrick said one of the initiatives is designed to provide financial incentives to cities and towns that plan to build residential housing near public transportation and town centers.
The administration also announced progress in finding affordable housing for homeless veterans. Lt. Gov. Timothy Murray said there's been a 21 percent decline in the number of homeless veterans in Massachusetts over the past year.
Patrick said the administration has also made what he called significant investments in the Commonwealth's public housing stock.
Patrick said the state has preserved and improved 46,000 public housing units through increased capital funding, increased operating subsidies, and changes in management.

"After years of hardship, food security and nutrition are now improving for women like Wata. Schemes such as the 'Back to the Soil' initiative by President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, Liberia's leader and the first female head of state in Africa, are encouraging Monrovia's residents to reconnect with agriculture. The FAO and NGOs such as Action Against Hunger - a charity working to reduce child malnutrition and provide sustainable solutions to hunger - have been running similar programmes in which vegetable gardens are used to improve food security and nutrition, and boost incomes...Nancy, one of the women benefiting from such schemes, smiles proudly as her crops tower over her. In just a year she has learnt how to secure her own livelihood and provide the best possible nutrition for her family. Following a visit to one of Action Against Hunger's feeding centres in Monrovia, where her two-year-old daughter was treated for malnutrition, Nancy joined the scheme to help mothers cultivate their own vegetable gardens. An increase in the consumption of vegetables, fruit and protein is vital to reducing chronic malnutrition. This affects 45 percent of under-fives in Liberia, according to the FAO."

Rising Star Racing Heading To Hot Houston
Posted by: newsla on Jun 26, 2014 - 04:13 PM
Rising Star Racing Heading To Hot Houston
After a quick break between race weekends, all three Rising Star Racing drivers are looking forward to returning to action this weekend for the Grand Prix of Houston. The 1.7-mile temporary street circuit, set in the shadows of the Reliant Arena facility, will play host to a double-header Verizon IndyCar Series race weekend.
The weekend will also see Pro Mazda presented by Cooper Tires step up as the lead support series during the event, providing the young drivers with a great opportunity to show well in front of what is expected to once again be a large crowd.
Rising Star Racing drivers Josef Newgarden, Neil Alberico, and Spencer Pigot all have racing experience on the track and will hope to beat the heat as well as the competition as the summer season is well and truly underway.
Newgarden returns to Texas, which also was the host state for the most recent IndyCar event with the Firestone 600 at Texas Motor Speedway, looking to build on the 11th place finish he earned with Sarah Fisher Hartman Racing after having qualified on the front row for the race.
Last yearâs Houston Grand Prix saw Newgarden again show strength on the street circuit format, netting a fifth place finish in the October event. The young American racer will once again carry the remarkable livery from Strike, which is a Texas-based leading single-source North American energy services provider that has grown itâs association with the Sarah Fisher Hartman squad in 2014.
âIâd like to leave Houston with a couple of really strong results,â said Newgarden. âLooking at Detroitâs doubleheader, we didnât have a good weekend. We had good pace, but we werenât able to leave the weekend with good results. We could definitely use a break. Weâve been close this year, we just have to try and catch that break. Weâre hoping to make Houston the place to do it.â
That this weekendâs race is set in June could play a significant role in the outcome as the Rising Star Racing drivers will be confronted with the Texas heat and humidity that will provide a one-two punch. But all three have been dedicated to their remarkable physical training programs, which in conjunction with non-stop hydration before and after any on-track action, should see them rise to the challenge of the first-time visit to Houston in these conditions.
The Houston event was the final chapter in Albericoâs huge push for the 2013 US F2000 Championship as he held up his end of the deal with a double-podium performance that included a race win. While the points tally came up short last year, Alberico and his Cape Motorsports with WTR squad have quickly adapted to the Pro Mazda ranks and should be expected to play a role in both races this weekend.
After opening the 2014 season with aplomb and four consecutive wins, his championship charge literally lost air in Indianapolis as Pigot fought to third place on the Lucas Oil oval despite having a punctured tire. While the result cost him ground in the championship, Pigot still holds a three point advantage and knows that there is a lot of racing yet to take on for him and his Juncos Racing squad.
âI just have to approach the weekend with the goal of winning both races,â said Pigot, who has taken his training outside into the summer heat as well as integrating hot yoga into his routine to best prepare for the kind of conditions that the weekend should create. âYou just have to make sure you donât have contact or something like the puncture that happened to us. Itâs going to be interesting with the heat-the track is bumpy and itâs a good, challenging lap, I like it a lot. Weâve had very fast cars, every time out, and that gives me a lot of confidence about this weekend.â
Before any motors are fired though, Pigot and Alberico will take some time on Thursday to make a visit to the Texas Childrenâs Hospital in Houston as part of the Racing For Kids weekend engagement. The hospital visits provide the young patients with the chance to meet the drivers and take the attention off their own battles for the afternoon.
The on-track action will kick off with a 9:15 a.m. practice session for the Pro Mazda runners on Friday, with IndyCar taking to the track at 10:00 a.m. Tune in to NBCSN for both rounds of IndyCar events live (3:00 p.m. Saturday and Sunday).

My friend and also a person I enjoy stalking both electronically and in person Lotus over at Sarcastic Mom does this totally weird slightly pervy super cool thing every year on her blog, where she gets a bunch of people to flaunt scare people with show off their boobs. I wasn't going to do it, but the last time I showed my boobs to random strangers it was an accident and I see this as a chance to redeem myself I'm always looking for new ways to compare myself to other women and feel inferior it's for charity, yo. So yep, I'm in there. (To be perfectly honest, I kind of love my photo, as well as all the others and, for the moment anyway, I'm feeling pretty good about myself AND my girls.)
Do Susan G. Komen a favor and click on over, would ya? Lotus is donating all of her July ad revenue to the foundation, and that's calculated by page loads, folks. So vote early and often, and send your friends. Give boobs a chance.
(First commenter here to guess correctly which ones are mine wins a prize, by the way.)
Peace, love and healthy boobs, bitches.Stumble it!

Failure. That is the message behind the numbers in the South Australian budget. Forget Jack Snelling's tough talk. Ignore the wailing about revenue. Plain and simple the Labor government has failed to rein in expenses.
After years of so-called belt tightening and angst from the public sector unions, the expenses have hit $6.74 billion for 2011-12 financial year.
What an achievement.
Total expenses have surged. In that same boomtime budget Foley predicted a total bill of $14.32 billion in 2011-12. His successor Snelling will spend $15.73 billion.
Next year? The 2012-13 was the last year for which Foley offered a forecast in his first "tough" budget in 2009.
He thought the state, following his "tough" decisions, would be paying staff $7.67 billion in the 2013 financial year. Snelling will shell out $7.87 billion.
Total expenses foreseen by Foley to hit $15.08 billion will hit $15.06 billion. A rare win.
Every year the government simply has spent more than it said it would at budget time.
Years of spouting on about public service cuts have also come to nought. There were 76,300 public servants in the core general government sector in 2008 and there are now 82,214. It has increased every single year.
Under Snelling's first full year in charge, the number has ballooned by 2627.
Oh, but the revenue, they cry. Every year, bar a $150 million writedown in 2009-10, the amount of revenue expected in 2011-12 has come in above forecast.
The fact is that had the government hit the wages target aimed at by Foley, they would have $1 billion more in their pocket. That would buy a few schools and bridges, you could probably chuck in a good road and a decent hospital.
Perhaps the government thought it could wait for blue skies to return. Faced finally with the reality check this year that expenses could no longer keep running ahead, the government simply decided to keep spending.
Told that revenue will for once not come in ahead of book, the government is again trying to say it will rein in costs.
Snelling also denied he was borrowing to pay its bills. This is not true. The cash operating position in the coming financial year is a $99 million deficit.
There are reasons for that, some nothing to do with him.
But it's a deficit. It's also a deficit that will worsen if the government cannot arrest its wages bill. The following year, an election year, the government is forecasting a $54 million operating cash surplus. That is a hiccup away from borrowing in successive years to pay the bills.
Snelling crowed about the government's "success" in hitting its fiscal targets. If this is what success looks like, let's hope it does not fail.
That's the message for
The Australian Financial Review

MEMBERS of the West and South Dorset Green Party supported a national protest at Weymouth train station.
It came as part of the 'Action For Rail' campaign for a national, integrated railway service under public ownership.
Eight members led the protest early yesterday, handing out postcards to travellers for them to send to their MPs.
It was held to mark the 20th anniversary of the Railways Act, which protestors said paved the way for privatisation of the UK's rail network.
Anne Clements, of the West and South Dorset Green Party, said: "Rail privatisation has been a failure. "It has failed on all its promises – fares have rocketed, public subsidy has more than doubled and there has been little new private investment."
The call for the nationalisation of the railway is supported by many organisations and individuals, who showed their support at yesterday's protest across the country at more than 35 stations.
Ms Clements added: "If this change were to happen more people would use the railways instead of air and car travel. "A sensible transport infrastructure is crucial in reducing carbon emissions and combating climate change."
Green Party MP Caroline Lucas has launched a Private Member's Bill in Parliament to bring the railways back into public ownership step by step.
Ms Clements said: "The irony is that at present some of the profits being made by the train operators are ending up with state-owned companies of other countries such as Germany's Deutsche Bahn which owns Arriva."

Alex Kidd in the Enchanted Castle
Wii Points: 800
Why this has been released the same week as Wonder Boy is something of a mystery, since the comparison only serves to highlight just how badly SEGA botched it. Both are side-scrolling platform adventures, but the monkey-faced Alex Kidd - surely the lamest videogame character this side of Bubsy - has none of his rival's assured design or pitch-perfect control.
I'll admit to having enjoyed some of the previous Alex Kidd games, on a basic level, but by the time Enchanted Castle rolled around in 1989 the character was already looking woefully out of date. The result is this infantile effort, plagued by horrible floaty jumping movements, imprecise attack moves and abominable collision detection. All of these factors combine to produce a singularly underwhelming experience - especially as the slightest contact with an enemy (or even standing vaguely near them) means instant death. Joy.
If that's not bad enough, the game relies on a completely random game of Rock, Paper, Scissors for boss fights and bonus items. Victory comes from blind luck, and you'll sit there plugging away at the same sections over and over, hoping the law of averages means you'll eventually choose the right option and escape from this Groundhog Day gaming hell.
Virtua Fighter 2
Original platform: SEGA Megadrive
Wii Points: 800
Virtua Fighter! On the Wii! My God, you can taste the awesome already. Except...you can't. This isn't really Virtua Fighter 2. OK, it's called Virtua Fighter 2, but it isn't the ground-breaking 3D classic that dazzled you in the arcades back in 1994. Nor is it the SEGA Saturn version you remember from the following year.
No, this is the Megadrive version of Virtua Fighter 2 from 1996. Yeah. Virtua Fighter. On the Megadrive. How does that work? Answer: it doesn't. The most obvious change is the switch from 3D polygons to 2D sprites, so the main selling point of the series - punching guys who look like that Dire Straits video - is out of the window right from the start. You can also wave goodbye to several characters - though Jeffry McWild (hobby: reggae music) is still here, thankfully - and a bunch of moves and combos are also omitted to save precious memory. Movement is lumpen and clumsy, attacks are stiff and uninspiring and it's all a rather shoddy attempt at 2D fighting.
Games like this sadly shine an unforgiving spotlight on the flaws in the Virtual Console set-up, with the lack of a demo function leading to disappointment, but most notably the insistence on pricing them according to platform. There's simply no way this warrants 800 points simply because it appeared on the Megadrive rather than, say, the PC Engine.
You may squeeze a few minutes of amusement from the reasonably flexible options - such as the ability to give fighters infinite health - but when Street Fighter II is already available for download, and infinitely superior even in its earliest console incarnation, why would you bother?

San Diego's golf natives are restless.
Two and a half years ago, the Torrey Pines South Course was the stage for one of the most memorable U.S. Opens in the 110 years the tournament has been contested. Tiger Woods' playoff win over Rocco Mediate was a tremendous success by virtually every measure: The competition was compelling, the TV ratings were through the roof and many of the financial pieces set records for the U.S. Golf Association.
San Diego immediately invited the USGA back for a return visit. Now the city's feeling a little like the girl who never got a call back after the first date. The USGA hasn't exactly been throwing chocolate and bouquets San Diego's way, and the message from at least one of the city's golf leaders is this:
"We're not going to sit around waiting for a call to go to the prom."
That's the statement of Tom Wornham, the former president of the Century Club who now is the co-chair, with attorney Jeff Baglio, of San Diego's championship golf committee. Wornham and Baglio are the point men who are trusted by the city to continue talks with the USGA about a possible future U.S. Open at Torrey Pines.
Make no mistake: Getting another U.S. Open – the Super Bowl of golf -- is their top desire and priority.
But when they see Pebble Beach get the 2019 U.S. Open before the resort even staged the 2010 Open, and when they hear Shinnecock Hills might be in line for 2018 – a date San Diego coveted – and when they don't feel a lot of warmth coming from people in the blue blazers, they begin to wonder if they shouldn't begin flirting with a different suitor.
"Out of consideration for the process, we have not had serious conversations" with other golf entities, Wornham said. "But it is intriguing. You look at the storied courses that have hosted multiple great major events. If we're going to be shelved for a while (by the USGA), maybe there's a great opportunity to expand Torrey's resume."
Wornham wouldn't go into detail beyond that, but when he's talking about other opportunities he's clearly referring to the PGA of America, which stages each year's final major, the PGA Championship, and the biennial Ryder Cup.
The PGA has had no qualms about putting former U.S. Open courses into its own rota. The more recent venues include Southern Hills, Hazeltine, Medinah and Baltusrol. The USGA, on the other hand, generally tends to stay away from sites for long periods once the PGA has been there. Of the past 10 Open sites, four previously held PGAs, the last being Winged Foot in Mamaroneck, N.Y. ('06 Open, '97 PGA).
The PGA currently has venues chosen through the 2016 PGA Championship.
"It seems to me that you don't want to keep a treasure on the shelf," Wornham said. "There are a lot of people who want to have U.S. Opens in their region. Likewise, there are a lot of major events that are interested in coming to Torrey Pines. At some point, the two lines will cross.
"This is not a veiled threat at all. I'm not taking the USGA's actions as dissing us. They have an agenda. Things happen in their world that are beyond our control. Our responsibility is to look at things in our control."
Wornham, an executive vice president for Wells Fargo Bank, said there have been no talks with the USGA since a San Diego contingent attended the U.S. Open at Pebble Beach in June. At that time, the next available Open date was '18 – a seemingly prime slot for San Diego, a decade after its first hosting. It was a shock, then, when the announcement came that Pebble would host the '19 Open to commemorate the resort's 100th anniversary.
The '18 date remains open, but there have been reports that Shinnecock Hills, which has hosted four Opens, is being strongly considered for that year. There are some golf insiders who believe that California will not receive back-to-back Opens, even if southern and northern California are two different worlds. If that's the case, Torrey wouldn't get another shot until 2021.
If the USGA's vision for Torrey Pines is that far off, then there's probably no reason to be in a hurry to draw up contracts. The golf landscape will no doubt change dramatically in 11 years. But the USGA guards its selection process so doggedly that it's difficult to get a read on how it really feels about Torrey.
Mike Davis, the USGA's director of rules and competitions who was in Argentina last week staging the World Amateur Team Championship, said in an email to the Union-Tribune, "The USGA has many good invitations for the U.S. Open. Torrey Pines certainly fits into that category. We typically go back to successful venues in the 8 to 25-year time period; thus, I believe it is kind of unfair of anyone to read anything into the USGA's decision to date not to return to Torrey Pines."
Davis called the 2008 U.S. Open "memorable and historic" and said Torrey Pines South provided a "superb" test of golf. He said he believed that no major changes would have to be made to stage another Open.
However, two sources with strong USGA ties said they don't believe Davis is enamored of Torrey Pines, which was selected in 2002 for '08, before Davis was in his current position.
In his email, Davis said, "It is true I personally feel some U.S. Open courses are more architecturally interesting than others. Golf course architecture is like art – it's subjective. … That said, there must be a reason that the likes of Shinnecock Hills, Pebble Beach, Merion or Oakmont are higher-ranked (on the so-called 'top 100' lists) than other U.S. Open venues we repeatedly go back to."
Some architectural critics haven't much praised the redesign of the South that was performed by Rees Jones in 2001. Torrey Pines was 68th in Golf Magazine's biennial U.S. "Top 100" in 2009, and Golfweek failed to recognize the South in its 2010 listing of the best 100 "modern" courses in America. Golfweek critic Bradley S. Klein has written that Torrey Pines is "not worthy" of hosting a U.S. Open.
There was one more piece of USGA news last week that may or may not have an effect on Torrey Pines' prospects. Jay Rains, the La Mesa attorney who has served on the USGA's Executive Committee for eight years, learned that he would not be nominated for president of the USGA after serving the last three years as vice president. He will retire from the committee at the end of this year.
It was Rains who first envisioned a U.S. Open for Torrey Pines and put together the group that made it a reality.
"While I am disappointed by the Nominating Committee's decision, I am very grateful for all of the wonderful experiences and friendships that have come (wife) Kathy's and my way over the last eight years," Rains said in an email. He declined further comment.
It may be that Rains' departure is a good thing, because it removes any perception of a conflict of interest if the USGA is serious about returning to Torrey.
The downside? San Diego's only voice inside the USGA is gone, at a time when the city and USGA seem to need a matchmaker.

When It Comes to Wi-fi, You Ain't Surfed Nothing Yet
An article in Fortune magazine is predicting that even most WiFi believers are being way too conservative in predicting what WiFi will be able to do. The writer takes the current technology and extrapolates outward, assuming that it will increase in both range and speed in a fairly rapid manner. He also assumes that the pervasive, fast, wireless technology will lead people to create new applications that demand such bandwidth, and people will find new, and completely unexpected uses for the technology. I agree with the second part - that applications will make use of the bandwidth and it will happen in ways many people aren't expecting, but some of the other stuff is a bit overhyped. I think there's plenty of potential for WiFi, but there are more issues than just technology to take into account - including politics, competing technologies, and human nature. Trying to predict all of these factors is close to impossible. So, while I do believe that we will see ubiquitous high speed wireless internet, I wouldn't commit to a specific technology at this point (or even assume that it will be a single technology), nor would I agree to a specific timeline for when this will happen.

text: NEW YORK ( ETF Expert) -- In a matter of hours, the European Central Bank as well as the People's Bank of China lowered key interest rates. For that matter, the Bank of England stepped up its bond-purchasing, quantitative easing program.In the recent past, stimulative measures might have been seen as a positive for stocks of faltering economies. The measures might even have been viewed as a benefit to nations around the world that export their wares. However, the initial reaction by foreign equity ETFs was rather uninspiring. For example, through the first half of Thursday's trading session last week, the Vanguard MSCI EAFE Index Fund ( VEA) retreated by roughly -1.35%.

Harvey's Civvy is the second episode of the third season of Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law, and the twenty-second episode overall.
Starring: Gary Cole (Harvey Birdman)
Also Starring: Thomas Allen (Peanut), John Michael Higgins (Mentok the Mindtaker)
Also Guest Starring: Paul Adelstein (Murro), Chris Edgerly (Potamus/Barracuda/Cumulus), Toby Huss (Shado/Devlin), Kym Whitley (Waitress)
Plot Overview
In 1967, Birdman defeats Murro the Marauder in combat, leaving him severely disabled. In the present day, Harvey receives a summons; Murro is suing him for a million dollars. Harvey gets Peter Potamus to defend him, while Murro is represented by Shado the Brain Thief, whose mental powers are similar to those of Mentok the Mindtaker. During the trial, Harvey learns that a large number of his former enemies may bring a class-action suit against him if he loses the case.
When Shado uses his powers to make the jury cry, he and Mentok have a "duel" of mental powers; afterwards they go to a bar and have a few drinks. Later, Mentok telepathically cues Peter to call Shado to the stand and ask him, "Did you get that thing I sent you?" Because Shado hadn't responded to Peter's request for medical discovery, Mentok declares a mistrial; it turns out Mentok was only pretending to be buddies with Shado so that Mentok could look through Shado's mind for anything incriminating.
Elated that he'd won the case, Harvey lets loose an energy blast... right at Peter.

Since the Great Atlantic Hurricane of 1944, the area was spared from destruction. However, in 1954, things got decidedly worse as the area was hit by two hurricanes only 10 days apart. The first of these hurricanes to hit New England was Carol.
Hurricane Carol formed as a tropical storm near the Bahamas on August 25th from a tropical depression centered there over the previous week. The storm began to move northwest at a rate of 12 mph, but upper level winds began to weaken, and the storm gradually slowed. As the storm moved over the warm waters of the Caribbean, it intensified until it became a hurricane two days later. The storm continued to intensify, and had slowed its forward speed to only 1-2 mph. When hurricanes slow like this, they tend to drift erratically.
Between August 27th and August 29th, the storm drifted to the northwest, curving more to the west, and then making a sharp turn to the north and northeast. On August 30th, the storm was located off the coast of South Carolina. But later that day, the storm began to be influenced by a deep trough moving toward the eastern seaboard.
By late on August 30tht, the storm had accelerated to a forward speed of 40 mph, and was moving toward New England. The Weather Bureau had predicted that the storm would affect Long Island, NY in the Afternoon of the 31st, but the east coast trough deepened, and the storm maintained its rapid movement to the northeast. At one point, while the storm was off the coast of New Jersey, the storm's forward speed was calculated at 60 mph.
The storm made its landfall on Long Island, New York with winds approaching 120 mph. The tides were high, and the results were similar to the Hurricane of 1938. As the eastern, most dangerous semi-circle crossed southern New England, it caused extensive damage, and a storm surge of 10 to 15 feet. Some areas reported storm surges higher than in 1938.
The eye of the storm passed over Groton, Connecticut, at 10 AM on the 31st, and continued to cut a path through central New England. As many as 4000 cottages were destroyed from Westerly, Rhode Island eastward to Sakonnet Point. At 10:30 AM, the Boston Weather Bureau issued a Hurricane Warning for coastal New England, but it was already too late as coastal residents had only minutes to prepare for the storm.
Carol wreaked havoc across southern New England as it swept away cottages, restaurants, and boatyards. Though the storm was weaker than the Hurricane of 38', it was the worst storm in the history of Cape Cod.
Even though the storm was moving inland, it was not yet through with its destruction. In Maine, winds were clocked at 80 mph at the Augusta airport, 75 mph at the State Capitol, and 70 mph in Portland. Wind was not the only factor in the storm, as a total of 2.15 inches of rain fell on the Twin Cities in less than 12 hours. The rain began at 5:05 PM on the 31st and ended at 4:55 PM on the 1st. This according to records at the Union Water Power Company in Lewiston. The peak of the storm was felt between 3:30 PM and 5:30 PM on August 31st.
Damage from the storm was estimated to be close to $10 million dollars. The highest ever to occur from a natural disaster. Ironically, that record would be broken only 10 days later by Hurricane Edna. Governor Burton Cross declared a state of emergency as the apple crop was all but ruined.
In Windham, a large lumber shed at L.C. Andrew Company was destroyed. In Farmington, a large elm fell onto a house causing extensive damage. In Norway and South Paris, the story was the same as the rest of the region, as several trees were knocked down, and some homes damaged by falling trees. Power was out between 2 PM on Tuesday the 31st and 4 AM the next day.
Here in Androscoggin County, the damage was tremendous. Photographs of the area showed whole trees uprooted, telephone poles knocked down, houses damaged, cars crushed, and damage to other structures. The storm caused widespread power outages and disrupted telephone service. Hospitals lost power, and emergency services were kept busy throughout the storm.
In North Livermore, several hundred acres of corn were flattened, and apple orchards were virtually stripped of their crop. Roads throughout the area were made impassable from tree branches and utility lines. Lisbon was also hit hard with the greatest number of wires downed in the area.
The storm took as many as 60 lives during its trip along the coast. This ranks the storm as the 19th deadliest in U.S. History. Three people in Maine were killed, and several others were injured. One incident In Columbia Falls, took the life of a 60 year old woman from New Brunswick, when two automobiles collided at the height of the storm. Four others were injured in the crash.
In Auburn, a 17 year old boy was injured when he was struck in the back by a large tree limb. In Lewiston, a firefighter had 2 fingers severely crushed while attempting to secure a Coca-Cola sign on Lisbon Street. In Gray, a 61 year old woman re-fractured a broken leg while she was fleeing a fire that had broken out in her home. The fire started when a tree fell onto the house.
In the Twin Cities, hundreds of trees were reported uprooted, and many sidewalks were damaged from their root systems. Electrical and telephone service was disrupted as tree branches fell like match sticks. Water mains were also broken by the roots of fallen trees.
Houses were damaged by trees in several locations as were many cars. A Fire Truck in Lewiston was damaged by a falling tree limb while responding to a home that had been struck by a large tree on Main Street. In Lewiston, the City Park and Bates College Campus were littered with fallen trees and branches.
Firemen in Auburn were kept busy throughout the storm responding to several small electrical fires and sparking wires. No serious fires were reported. Off duty policemen were also called into work as well as the Civil Defense auxiliary police and the American Legion police unit. Civil Defense personnel had been alerted by the State CD headquarters in the morning, and were well prepared.
Six counties were declared a disaster area by the Small Business Administration in Washington. These counties were York, Cumberland, Sagadahoc, Lincoln, Knox, and Waldo counties. A preliminary estimate by the Agriculture Department placed the damage of the apple crop close to $1.7 Million dollars.
In 1990 dollars, the total storm damage from Carol
was $2,370,215,000 dollars, the 10th most costliest hurricane in
U.S. history. As residents were cleaning up from Carol, Hurricane
Dolly was moving closer to New England. Thankfully, the storm moved
out to sea south of New England. However, mother nature was not
through yet. Edna, a much less noticed storm was brewing in the
Atlantic, and would strike the area only 10 days later.

HOUSTON - The Offshore Technology Conference 2013 kicked off at Reliant Park on Monday.
Each year, the Offshore Technology Conference brings thousands to Houston to see the newest drilling technology. About 90,000 visitors are expected at this year's conference.
For decades, OTC has been a popular event for those in the offshore drilling business and among the largest trade shows in the world.
"This is the largest that we have had in the 44 year history of OTC," said Ed Stokes, the vice chairman of OTC. "It is right at about 653,000 square feet, equivalent to about 11.5 football fields, including end zones."
Governor Rick Perry will meet with the Crown Prince and Princess of Norway on Monday, and participate in a panel with other coastal governors regarding offshore energy development.
Highlights for this year's conference include a two-part discussion on how the industry can improve self-regulation and how the U.S. federal and state governments can coordinate regulations and policies. Project updates from around the how their latest developments are effecting the industry, along with alternative energy for offshore facilities.
Amid the acres of booths displaying the latest products marketed for the energy industry is the two-story FMC Technologies booth showing off their newest pump. It is a sub-sea, three-mega watt pump and motor system that is capable of being placed at the well head.
"It is more efficient and more profitable to pump the oil from the ground up versus sucking it out of the ground," said David Robison, the director of sales at FMC Technologies.
The OTC wraps up on Thursday, May 10.
"This year it will bring about $130 to $150 million this week," said Stokes.

For the movies, i'm kind of person that usually prefers old ones and not the mainstream. Of course, there are many exceptions.
Apart from that, i won't lie that i love games, be it computer games, board games, or other. That's just great way to spend time with friends or even alone if that's the case.
What more? I like cooking, but i prefer part of eating those tasty things than rather the process of cooking alone. Lately i'm also into boulder climbing.
If it comes to messaging, i really like lenghty emails, etc. Maybe that's because not many people do it these days. Probably that's also why i like to discuss many things and taking into account both sides of the argument.
Also, singing, playing guitar, remembering irrelevant details and being pain in the ass sometimes.

Music played an important role in the Renaissance theatre and Shakespeare brought new subtlety to its use. In a theatre without lights and sets, it fell to music to underline mood, whether for magic, comedy, feasting or pathos.
Here are thirty or so settings from Shakespeare's lifetime by composers including Morley, Johnson, Dowland, Byrd, Ferrabosco and others, including lyrics set to ballad tunes that would have been very familiar to the actors in his company.

Maui 2006
I spent the week before Christmas 2006 on the island of Maui in Hawaii. My wife was attending a conference at the Sheraton Maui and I tagged along to keep her company and to get a much needed break from work. The Sheraton turned out to be at one of the nicest locations in west Maui - just north of Lahaina on Ka'anapali beach. The snorkeling around Black Rock in front of the hotel was great.
I had never been to Hawaii before this and, to be honest, I never really thought much of it. My image of Hawaii seems to have been formed from 1970's TV shows and I was picturing something like the Brady Bunch vacation with Don Ho and tacky Luau's. Sure, there was a lot of that sort of thing there, but the natural beauty of Maui overshadowed all of that. I've never seen such an amazing environment and diversity of life. If you can ignore all the resort stuff around you, it's a pretty cool place.
In any event, I didn't do much adventuring. The goal for this trip was to sit on the beach and relax. I had been putting in some long hours at work and I was burned out. I spent the week relaxing, swimming, snorkeling and reading. With nothing to do but sit on the beach and read, I managed to get through two books: The Future of Life by E.O. Wilson and I Have Landed: The End of a Beginning in Natural History by Steven Jay Gould. I recommend both of them. The Future of Life is about biodiversity, why it's important, and what the future holds for us. The Steven Jay Gould book is another compilation of his essays mostly themed around topics in evolutionary biology.
Here some pics from the week:
This was a beach near Wailea. I forget the name of the beach, but it was pretty nice.
This was Oneloa (aka Makena aka "Big") Beach in south Maui. It was pretty spectacular.
Ka'anapali beach looking towards Molokai. I saw several whales from this beach. Humpback whales travel from Alaska to spend the winter season in the waters around Hawaii. The shallow waters between the islands of Maui, Lanai, and Molokai apparently have the largest concentration of these whales.
This one is in the Maui aquarium, but I saw a few sea turtles while snorkeling in the ocean. There are a few different kinds of sea turtles in Hawaii. I'm not sure what kind I saw. I think at least one of them was a Green turtle.
Christmas time in Hawaii was great. I'll be back.

Update: The song is by The Platters and is called "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes" Not a good endorsement of said incense burner if the "smoke gets in your eyes" Just kidding love the juxtaposition of the art and the lyrics, Great Stuff!

[video:http://www.dailymotion.com/video/my_video_id autoplay:0] when it is rendered into the page.
Is this a bug into the module or am i doing something wrong ?

Ben and Emily* have been living the all-American good life. Married 15 years, they've traveled, pursued their careers with success and have two young children. They can boast all the pillars of good physical, mental and relationship health: exercise, church attendance, supportive family and friends.
But all is not well.
They have accumulated considerable college debts. Ben has seen many colleagues laid off and worries he will be next. The stresses of part-time work and two small children are wearing on Emily.
The looming debt and job insecurity lead to quarrels. Instead of discussing their worries openly together, they are irritable, overly sensitive, and hear criticism in every drop of discontent.
Ben resents Emily's schedule, believing she is lazy. Emily is angry about what she sees as his self-absorption and his sense that he is the only contributor to the family.
If she just says "I don't feel like cooking tonight," he's liable to accuse her of being financially irresponsible, as if not cooking equals dining in a restaurant. What about popping open a can of chicken noodle soup and toasting cheese sandwiches?
But all Ben can hear his wife saying is that he can't provide the lifestyle they used to enjoy. Emily in turn feels under attack and withdraws further.
So many couples these days are under the kind of economic stress Ben and Emily face. They must choose, day to day, whether they will draw closer or fall apart.
It is how they respond to that stress — not the stress itself — that will determine their future.
* "Ben and Emily'' are a composite of several couples Puterbaugh has counseled.

Photo Flash: Steve Guttenberg Honored With Star on Hollywood Walk of Fame
Actor Steve Guttenberg was honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in Los Angeles on Monday, December 12th. Guttenberg, star of many films including Police Academy, and now starring on Broadway in the hit production of RELATIVELY SPEAKING, had his star unveiled in front of the Hollywood Division LAPD's Police Activities League office (PAL) at 6411 Hollywood Boulevard.
Star of a dozen films that have grossed 100 million dollars at the American box-office, with leading-man looks and critically acknowledged comedy and dramatic chops, Steve Guttenberg has climbed his way to the top of being one of Hollywood's favorite actors.
Over the course of his career, Guttenberg has starred in an amazing 52 films, including four successful series: Police Academy, Three Men and a Baby, Short Circuit and Ron Howard's Cocoon and their sequels. He has also appeared in such acclaimed dramatic hits as Barry Levinson's Diner, Franklin Schaffner's The Boys from Brazil and Curtis Hanson's Bedroom Window.
Guttenberg can currently be seen starring in Broadway's RELATIVELY SPEAKING, a collection of three one-act comedies written by esteemed scribes Ethan Coen, Elaine May and Woody Allen, and directed by John Turturro. Guttenberg stars in Woody Allen's comedy Honeymoon Motel, where a wedding day goes awry. He also produced and stars in the indie feature, A Novel Romance, opposite Shannon Elizabeth and Milena Govich, which is currently in theaters. The film won best feature at the NY Film and Video Festival.
Also a filmmaker, Guttenberg has helmed a number of projects, including P.S., Your Cat Is Dead, the film version of the respected James Kirkpatrick play which Guttenberg also starred in, wrote and produced. He is the founder of Mr. Kirby productions.
In addition to his work as an actor and filmmaker, Guttenberg has put his time to good use, additionally creating the Guttenhouse project. He initiated the Guttenhouse project to house selected youths who are phased out of foster care programs at the age of 18 and would otherwise wind up on the streets, with no housing or direction. His first Guttenhouse has accommodated a half dozen kids for varying lengths of time for the past seven years, giving each private bedrooms, use of computer equipment, regular oversight by a trained social worker and mentoring. He has also headed the $7,000,000 campaign to provide glasses for 50,000 sight-challenged youngsters whose families cannot afford eye care. He has headed other such important national campaigns for the Entertainment Industry Foundation and was recently lauded by the Red Cross for his very personal work following Hurricane Katrina. His family and friends are the most important part of his life.
The Hollywood Walk of Fame is an internationally-recognized Hollywood icon. With approximately 24 star ceremonies annually broadcast around the world, the constant reinforcement provided to the public has made the Walk of Fame a top visitor attraction. The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce continues to administer the Walk of Fame as the representative of the City of Los Angeles. The Walk of Fame is a tribute to all of those who worked diligently to develop the concept and to maintain this world-class tourist attraction. www.WalkOfFame.com
The world premiere of RELATIVELY SPEAKING, three one-act comedies by the prolific writing trio of Ethan Coen, Elaine May and Woody Allen, opened on Broadway on October 20 at The Brooks Atkinson Theatre (256 West 47 Street) to critical acclaim.
Directed by John Turturro, the ensemble cast of 16 features Caroline Aaron, Bill Army, Katherine Borowitz, Lisa Emery, Ari Graynor, Steve Guttenberg, Danny Hoch, Julie Kavner, Jason Kravits, Richard Libertini, Mark Linn-Baker, Max Gordon Moore, Patricia O'Connell, Allen Lewis Rickman, Grant Shaud, Marlo Thomas.
