When: Open daily
Where: 1313 Disneyland Drive, Anaheim
Tickets: $96 adults and $90 children ages 3-9 for one park; $150 adults and $144 children for both parks
Information: 714-781-4636;www.disneyland.disney.go.com
"To all who come to this happy place, welcome. Disneyland is your land. Here, age relives fond memories of the past and here, youth may savor the challenge and promise of the future. Disneyland is dedicated to the ideals, the dreams and the hard facts which have created America…with the hope that it will be a source of joy and inspiration to the world." — Walt Disney, July 17, 1955
What a difference 59 years makes.
It was 101 degrees for Disneyland's opening preview on July 17, 1955. But Thursday, when the park celebrated its 59th birthday, blue skies, scattered puffy white clouds and temperatures in the lower 80s set the stage for a perfect day to celebrate Disneyland's 59th anniversary.
cool facts about Disneyland'S opening day
Opening day: Disneyland was dedicated during a special preview opening day on July 17, 1955. The public opening was July 18. The dedication aired on ABC at 4:30 p.m. July 17.
Park attendance: 6,000 guests were invited for the special preview opening, but an additional 22,000 showed up with counterfeit tickets, making for a total of 28,000 guests that day.
Temperature: 101 degrees; it was unseasonably high
Cast characters at opening ceremonies: Characters did not roam Disneyland in the 1950s, but for the preview day, character costumes were borrowed from the Ice Capades, which produced Disney on Ice. They included Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, Pluto, Dumbo, Chip 'n' Dale, Peter Pan, Wendy Captain Hook, Cinderella, Fairy Godmother, Prince Charming, Sleeping Beauty, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Alice, Mad Hatter, White Rabbit, the March Hare, Annie Oakley and Aunt Jemima.
Celebrities at opening ceremonies: Art Linkletter, Bob Cummings, Ronald Reagan, Frank Sinatra, Jerry Lewis, Sammy Davis Jr., Danny Thomas, Debbie Reynolds, Eddie Fisher, Thurl Ravenscroft, Buddy Ebsen, Gale Storm, Julie Bishop, Irene Dunn, Marjorie Main, the Mouseketeers, California Gov. Goodwin J. Knight and the Dixieland jazz band Firehouse Five plus Two. Fess Parker led the opening parade on horseback as Davy Crockett.
Rides and attractions: Santa Fe and Disneyland Railroad (now simply Disneyland Railroad), horse-drawn streetcars, A fire wagon, surreys, stage coaches, mule pack, Main Street Cinema, King Arthur Carousel, Peter Pan's Flight, Snow White's Adventures (now Snow White's Scary Adventures), Mr. Toad's Wild Ride, Mad Tea Party, Canal Boats of the World, Jungle Cruise, Autopia, Space Station X-1, Circarama and the Mark Twain Riverboat. Only six of these attractions have closed over the years..
Glitches: Due to a local plumbers' strike, many of the water fountains were dry. The asphalt that had been poured in the morning was still soft, so ladies wearing high heels sunk in. There was a gas leak in Fantasyland, so park operators closed Fantasyland, and nearby Adventureland and Frontierland, for the afternoon.
Total park attendance in 1955: 1 million
Ticket price in 1955: Admission was $1. Rides and attractions were a separate fee via individual tickets. Three months after the park opened, books of tickets were available; the tickets were labeled "A" to "C."
Disney films released in 1955: "Davy Crockett, King of the Wild Frontier," "Lady and the Tramp" and "The Littlest Outlaw."
—Michelle J. Mills
The Mayor of Main Street, one of Disney's cast of characters, welcomed a few hundred invited guests and a sea of onlookers squeezed around Main Street's Town Square. The train station was festooned with old-fashioned patriotic bunting and flags.
The recorded greeting by Walt Disney on that very first day at the theme park was played over the speakers. The Dapper Dans performed four-part harmony songs toasting each of the Magic Kingdom's lands. The audience was encouraged to join in on popular tunes, like "The Tiki Tiki Tiki Tiki Tiki Room" and "It's a Small World."
"I was driving here this morning very excited because to take part in something so historic, Disneyland celebrating it's 59th year, it's such a special place to so many people," said Megan Navarette, who has worked at Disneyland for more than four years and has served as an ambassador for one. Her favorite attraction in the park is Big Thunder Mountain because "it's lots of fun, smooth and the new ending is very explosive."
Pasadena resident Sam Gennaway, the author of "The Disneyland Story: The Unofficial Guide to the Evolution of Walt Disney's Dream" (Unofficial Guides, $16), said that the opening of Disneyland in 1955 is notable in America's history and society.
"The park mirrored many of the changes happening at the time," Gennaway said in an earlier interview. "The park is akin to a television set where you could turn the dial and watch all of the popular genres of the day: a Western, a science-fiction film, a politically incorrect exotic location or a cartoon. The commercials are when you buy food or souvenirs or use the bathroom. It was Walt Disney.... celebrating that in America, somebody like him could live the dream due to free enterprise."
During Disney's lifetime, through 1966, the park remained a reflection of his thoughts, ideas and opinions, Gennaway said. Today the focus has changed, although the legacy continues in most of the cast members' hearts.
"My favorite (attraction) is still Pirates of the Caribbean. As Walt said, it's like a good party and you can easily drop in on many different discussions. Plus you don't have to wear 3D glasses," Gennaway said.
The denouement of Disneyland's celebration was the appearance of 59 characters — from Pinocchio and Cinderella to Mickey Mouse and Cruella de Ville — who invited the crowd to join them in singing happy birthday to the park. Confetti flowed, fireworks burst and the new Diamond Celebration logo for 2015 was revealed. Then the emcee announced that the 60th birthday party will begin in the spring 2015 with many surprises, including a photo contest. For entry information, visit www.disneyparksblog.com.

Reduction of stress encourages the growth of telomere, which allows cells to continue dividing. Our cells divide and grow, a telomere – a small DNA cap at the end of each chromosome - protects our dna from damage. The enzyme Telomerase, repairs the telomeres and 'keeps DNA young'.
Several new telomerase-based drugs have entered Phase II and III clinical trials. And there is a very real race for the ultimate anti-aging pill.
"Current research reveals stressed people have shorter telomeres. Shorter telomeres appear to predispose us to disease and cancer and lead to shorter lives. Yet astonishingly, it has been discovered meditation appears to stall the process."

Another thing to note, is Epigenetics, the layer that controls your genes, control which genes to turn on or off. A healthy lifestyle turns on the good genes and turns off the bad genes which helps defeat disease. Also, your gene activation combination was passed down to you by your parents and you will pass it on to your kids. This means if your parents smoked and had a bad life style, a lot of their bad genes were activated resulting in disease, this configuration was passed on to you, however if you exercise and eat well, you can deactivate those bad genes and turn on the good genes and pass that on to your children. You could reverse the damage caused by your family tree.

SPOILER ALERT - The Indiana Pacers are staying in Indiana,and if I am wrong I will eat my keyboard.
I am by no means suggesting that the blue and gold will continue to be retained by the Simon's. However, I am confident that the Indiana Pacers will remain focal occupants of the Conseco Fieldhouse.
Why can I exert such blatant confidence?
It is simply not possible given the current "arid" economic climate and geographical desire for a professional basketball team.
[1] The economic climate of North America is dry – no wait "arid." Given the economic climate of half of the globe a move is very risky. While many billionaires might have an interest in a Simon short sale, I am confident that 99.9% of interested buyers would not want to risk moving the team to a new environment. [2] Furthermore, a suitable, fertile environment does not exist. Even if the Simons or a "buyer" decided expressed interest in a move, they would find that there are few places in the United States, Canada, or Mexico that could potentially receive and support an NBA franchise.
[1] Seattle, Washington. The Super Sonics moved, and now the fans of every slumping franchise with an expiring or near-expiring lease are in panic. Seattle would certainly love to regain an NBA franchise, but at what cost? The soul reason the NBA's late elder son became the league's newest baby was because of a dispute over stadium conditions. The owners of the Super Sonics thought that Key Arena was a sub par professional stadium. While many agree, the city decided they would not invest the money needed to build a new arena. To complicate matters for the Sonics, the city also stated that they would not renovate Key Arena, unless the Sonics made significant finacial contributions.
Obviously Seattle wants a pro-team, just not the pro-price tag. Therefore if the Pacers are hemorrhaging money, why would they move to a city that would refuse to stop the bleeding? The Pacers need cash, and Seattle is not going to accommodate any team with a handout.
[2] Las Vegas, Nevada. After the 07' All Star Game, it appeared that Sin City was the heir apparent for an NBA franchise. However, before you place your bet on a Pacers move to Vegas, consider the following. The city of Las Vegas may not be as ripe as Stern and Co. once anticipated. After several months of research, the city of Las Vegas concluded the creation of a new arena was not a sure thing. To complicate matters worst, the city does not have an existing arena capable of hosting a pro-team while a new stadium is built. Therefore, a stadium would have to be constructed before Vegas could welcome an NBA franchise.
While Vegas seems like a great opportunity for an NBA expansion or relocation, a Pacers move to the desert seems like a long shot. After all, the city of Los Vegas is at least 4 -5 years from a suitable arena.
[3] Baltimore, Maryland. I once heard that Baltimore was interested in a NBA franchise. However, studies were conducted and apparently a pro-team would not generate a large following.
Baltimore is a great football town, but it is not a basketball town. The Pacers will not be leaving from Indianapolis to Baltimore on a Mayflower semi any day soon.
[1] Vancouver, Canada. This is by no means an insult to any users who live or have lived in Canada. However, Canada is not a possible location. I loosely quote Stevie "Franchise" Francis, players don't want to play in Canada because of "Location, taxes, endorsements, and the will of God." This is proven by the exoduses of stars such as Damon Stoudemire, Marcus Camby, Vince Carter, and Tracy McGrady.
Canada, particularly Vancouver, has proven to be a failed experiment. The Pacers, or any potential buyers would not want to subject itself to the trials and tribulations of a Canadian based team.
[1] Mexico City, Mexico. Language barriers, drug wars, and swine flu. Need I say more?
It appears that there isn't a city or country that could suit the Indiana Pacers better than, you guessed it, Indiana. I believe the Pacers will remain in Indiana. I also believe that the Pacers best opportunity for success is in Indiana. No one buys a professional sports team with expectation that it will make significant money, and the Pacers are a playoff run and a descent marketing campaign from becoming sustainable.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
With that being said, I hope the city of Indianapolis shows favor to the Indiana Pacers. (This is the part where I get personal). I have been a Pacers fan and a Colts fan since the day I was born. However, the way that Jim Irsay took advantage of the city with L.O.S. was simply nothing short of sinister. Either the Pacers need to be given a similar deal (within reason), or Irsay needs to renegotiate some of the benefits he received on a stadium that was burdened by tax payers and is directly affecting other sports teams.
We the fans of the Indiana Pacers need to be proactive about promoting and marketing this team. Indiana is the best possible location for the Indiana Pacers, and there is no doubt that we can help the organization and the state realize that once again.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - The 16 state legislators representing nine northeast Florida counties have announced their support House and Senate bills providing a state sales tax rebate to fund improvements at EverBank Field.
Members of both parties unanimously support House Bill 721 and Senate Bill 922, according to Rep. Travis Cummings, R-Orange Park.
EverBank Field, constructed in 1995, is the home of the NFL's Jacksonville Jaguars and hosts the TaxSlayer.com Gator Bowl, the annual Florida-Georgia game, and numerous other sporting and entertainment events like this weekend's Monster Jam.
"As a Clay County resident who attends every Jaguars home game and the Florida-Georgia game, the regional importance of this facility can't be overstated," said Sen. Rob Bradley, R- Fleming Island -- sponsor of the senate bill. "I have made it a priority to help ensure the long-term viability of the First Coast as a nationally recognized sports and entertainment region."
Since 1995, two-thirds of the NFL's franchises have moved into brand new facilities and most others have made sizable renovations.
"I had the honor of supporting the maintenance efforts of EverBank Field for many years as a member of the Jacksonville City Council and I'm excited to help carry the flag in the Florida House of Representatives," said Rep. Daniel Davis, R-Jacksonville -- sponsor of the house bill.
Sen. Audrey Gibson (D-Jacksonville), a longtime advocate of widespread use of this publicly-owned facility, who represents the district where Everbank Field lies, added "I applaud the creative efforts of the Jaguars in making the NFL an affordable experience, attracting more residents and families. All deserve a safe and well-maintained environment to enjoy these events. This bill will go a long way towards continuing that goal and I am happy to lend my support."

With the 2011 Chevrolet Equinox's high-quality interior and great ride, it's easy to see why the compact SUV has been a runaway success, though its value diminishes as the trim level and price rises.
It's been two years since our initial review of the redesigned 2010 model. Now, a few years in, we've tested multiple Equinox trim levels against fresher competition. This time around, I drove the most-expensive trim, the LTZ, with a four-cylinder engine and all-wheel drive. Other trims are the LS, 1LT and 2LT.
There aren't many feature changes for the 2011 Equinox versus the 2010. For a comparison of the two model years, see here.
Winner of $29,000 SUV Shootout
The Equinox's competition has only improved since our original review, yet the Equinox took the top spot in Cars.com's $29,000 SUV Shootout against the redesigned Kia Sportage, Dodge Journey and six other SUVs. The Equinox's family-friendly features, premium interior feel and value won over our editors and the participating family. To read the full comparison, click here.
Less is More
The lower-priced LS and LT models offer the most bang for the buck in the Equinox lineup, with great interior fit and finish, high-quality materials and an isolated experience from the road compared with crossovers in the $20,000 to $30,000 range. Plus, the Equinox's most family-friendly features aren't limited to just the LTZ.
That's great news for LS and LT models, but it contributes to the fact that the Equinox starts to lose its charm above $30,000. The four-cylinder Equinox LTZ I tested cost $33,260 with optional all-wheel drive, navigation and sunroof, excluding an $810 destination fee. At that price, its interior teeters on average compared with the quality of the similarly priced Ford Edge and Nissan Murano. Conversely, what's impressive is that the Equinox starts at $22,995 with essentially the same interior.
A front-wheel-drive, four-cylinder LTZ starts at $28,570 and includes leather seats, a power liftgate, rear parking assist, driver's seat memory and roof rails.
The Equinox's power liftgate is a handy feature that's seldom found on affordable cars. It's also available on the Equinox 2LT for $495 — especially nice given it's not uncommon to see a feature like this offered only on a model's most expensive trim level or bundled in a pricey option package. The power tailgate with remote open/close proved an invaluable convenience during a weekend trip when the liftgate was opened and closed a dozen times per day.
Another family-friendly option on the 2LT is a rear-seat entertainment system with dual screens for $1,295. There's a standard backup camera on 2LT models that doesn't require a navigation system, as many cameras do, while a rearview camera is optional on 1LT ($24,160) models for $845 in a package that also includes remote start and a powered driver's seat.
Road Tripping
With its great highway manners, the Equinox excels on road trips. I drove more than 300 miles, round-trip, on highways with posted speed limits of 70 mph. The Equinox tracks straight and true at those speeds, rarely requiring course correction from the steering wheel. It's also quiet and comfortable at 70 mph, with a compliant ride.
As we've noted in other evaluations, the Equinox's cargo area is smaller than its large exterior suggests, which is a potential problem for road-trippers. The sliding backseat moves forward to provide the most cargo room, mitigating the problem but sacrificing backseat legroom. Doing so was the only way I was able to fit a weekend's worth of cargo for four people: four duffle bags, two slow cookers, two folding chairs, a golf bag, a large cooler, and groceries. Only with some clever packing were we able to maintain visibility through the rear window.
Under the Hood
The Equinox's wheezy 182-horsepower, 2.4-liter four-cylinder is an under-performer considering the LTZ's high asking price. The engine struggles to pull its freight when fully packed. My passengers commented on the straining noises that came from under the hood as the engine wound out in every gear to compensate for the additional weight.
The four-cylinder is acceptable in LS and LT models, but for $30,000-plus, in the LTZ it leaves a large performance gap compared with the Murano's and Edge's silky smooth V-6 drivetrains. A 264-hp V-6 is an additional $1,500 on Equinox 1LT, 2LT and LTZ trims for those who need extra power.
The Equinox is a Top Safety Pick at the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. It scored the agency's best rating, Good, in front-, rear- and side-impact crash tests, as well as in a roof-strength test.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration gave the Equinox four out of five stars overall using its revised testing procedures for 2011. In frontal and rollover tests, the Equinox received four out of five stars, and it earned five out of five stars in side crash tests.
Standard safety equipment includes front airbags, side-impact airbags mounted in the front seats, and side curtain airbags for front and rear passengers. Also standard are an electronic stability system, antilock brakes and six months of OnStar with automatic crash response. A paid subscription is required after the initial trial period.
For a complete list of standard safety features, see here. To see how well child-safety seats fit in the Equinox, click here.
Equinox in the Market
Buyers don't have to spend the steep $34,000 as-tested price of our LTZ to get what makes the Equinox a great crossover SUV. The Equinox's greatest attributes are just as present on less-expensive trim levels, and as the Cars.com $29,000 SUV Shootout proved, the Equinox has the right stuff to be competitive in the busy sub-$30,000 price range.

Host Your Facebook Applications on AWS
In this article, you will learn how to launch your Facebook application on Amazon Web Services cloud infrastructure within minutes. A Facebook application—whether it is online casual game or social application—is a hosted web application that utilizes the Facebook API. You can host your Facebook applications on AWS to access a reliable, scalable, and cost-effective compute infrastructure.
The flexibility of AWS allows you to choose the programming models, languages, and operating systems that you are already using or that are best suited for your project. With AWS, you can bring your existing skills and knowledge to the platform; you don't have to learn lots of new skills.
When you host your application or game in the cloud, you can start small and then quickly scale up your infrastructure when your application is popular.
For the purpose of this tutorial, we will deploy a sample application built in PHP and host it in the AWS cloud.
To launch a sample Facebook application in the AWS cloud, all you have to do is following:
- 1. Sign up for AWS account (there is no charge for opening an AWS account)
- 2. Create a new Facebook app on Facebook
- 3. Launch the Facebook sample stack with one click
- 4. Configure the Site URL (or Canvas URL) of your app
- 5. You are done!
Launch Facebook Sample App in the AWS Cloud in Three Simple Steps
First, you will have to sign up for an AWS account, if you don't already have one.
- 1. Create an app on Facebook
You can create an app on Facebook by going to http://developers.facebook.com/apps and clicking on the "Create App" button. This will create Facebook app credentials (Facebook App ID and Secret Key) that you will need in the next step.
Add Basic Info like App Display Name, App Namespace (can only contain lowercase letters, dashes and underscores), and email address and app domain as "amazonaws.com" (More about this later).
- 2. Launch the Facebook sample Stack with one click
Once, you have created an app on Facebook, you need to host your application. We are going to host the application in AWS cloud. To do that, click on "Launch Stack" button.
This will take you to the AWS Management Console's AWS CloudFormation stack wizard and load the sample template. AWS CloudFormation is a service that will gives you an easy way to create a collection of related AWS resources and provision them in an orderly and predictable fashion using a simple template (JSON).
This sample AWS CloudFormation template will launch all the necessary cloud resources you need to launch the sample app on AWS. Since this template will automatically configure the sample PHP (File Sharing) application, you will need to input a few parameters before you can launch the stack:
- 1. Facebook App ID, which was generated by Facebook when you created an app in Step 1
- 2. Facebook Secret Key, which was generated by Facebook when you created an app in Step 1
- 3. Facebook App Namespace, which is the same namespace that you used in Step 1
- 4. AWS Access ID, which can be found in AWS Security Credentials page under "Your Account"
- 5. AWS Secret Access Key, which can be found in AWS Security Credentials page under "Your Account"
The sample template will not only launch and provision all the cloud resources (like an elastic load balancer, an EC2 Micro instance, Auto Scaling Group, Amazon CloudWatch Alarms, uses Amazon Machine Image, configures Security Groups etc.) but also install the latest Facebook PHP SDK (from GitHub) and the AWS SDK for PHP (from PEAR) at boot time as well as download and configure the sample application. This will take a few minutes to launch the stack. The beauty about this cloud architecture is that it will automatically scale and add more Amazon EC2 Instances when your traffic is high and also maintain a minimum number of EC2 fleet size (Min size set to 1) and launch new instances in case of the instance failed.
Once the stack is launched (Status shows "Create_Complete") , you now have your application hosted in the AWS cloud. The architecture diagram above shows what will be launched behind the scenes by AWS CloudFormation Sample template that we used.
Note: You can use the Facebook Sample template as-is or modify it or use it as a starting point for creating your own templates. You can find more AWS CloudFormation templates here.
After the stack is launched, it will output the Site URL of your application which you will need for Step 3.
- 3. Configure your Facebook application
After you have launched your stack, you need to let Facebook know where the actual app is hosted. Go back to your application settings at http://developers.facebook.com/apps and under select how your app integrates with Facebook section, paste the Site URL under Website (if you want to have your own website or game) or Canvas URL under App on Facebook (if you want to integrate your app with Facebook's user experience).
That's it. You are done! Within just a few minutes, you have now launched your Facebook web application in AWS cloud. To go to your app, simply point your browser to the Site URL or http://apps.facebook.com/yourFacebookNamespace/.
When you go access the app for the first time, the app will ask for authorization and permission to access your profile:
This sample application is simple file sharing application. With this application, you can upload any file and share it with your friends. The application is built in PHP, uses the AWS SDK for PHP and leverages Amazon S3 to store your files. It also posts a message on your wall when you upload a file and notifies your friends and leverages the Facebook's PHP SDK to do so.

It also posts a message on your wall when you upload a file and notifies your friends and leverages the Facebook's PHP SDK to do so.
Cost of Running the Sample Application on AWS
The Sample app (and the sample template) takes advantage of the AWS Free Usage Tier. New AWS customers will be able to run a free Amazon EC2 Micro Instance for a year, while also leveraging a free usage tier for Amazon S3, Amazon Elastic Block Store, Amazon Elastic Load Balancing, and AWS data transfer. Beyond the AWS free usage tier, you only pay for the resources you use; there are no long-term contracts or up-front commitments. You can use the AWS Simple Monthly Calculator to estimate the cost of your application.
How to Modify the Sample Application
With Amazon EC2, you get complete control of your environment. You can login access as "ec2-user" using Putty/Terminal and the SSH keypair that you used when you launched the stack. Please refer to Amazon EC2 Getting Started Guide for more information. You can modify the sample application (which can be found at /var/www/html/) or replace the sample application with your own existing Facebook app.
We would like to thank Navin Kumaran from 8KMiles. 8KMiles is a leading cloud consulting firm and an Amazon Web Services Solution Provider that offers cloud strategy, cloud engineering and cloud migration services to help businesses leverage the power of cloud computing.

REPORT: Williams doubles up on Park success
10:00am Friday 10th January 2014
By Andrew Simpson
10:00am Friday 10th January 2014
By Andrew Simpson
Winnington Park 33 Douglas 5
WINNINGTON were clinical when disposing of promotion hopefuls Douglas, recording only a second league win since the middle of October.
They ran in five tries along the way, meaning the Isle of Man outfit have lost on both of their visits to Northwich this term.
Park broke through when Fraser Lindsay applied the finishing flourish to a fine backs-led move, converted by fit-again Sam Brookes.
Douglas replied instantly, Daryn Thompson crossing the line following a successful rolling maul.
They assumed control afterwards, keeping possession for longer than the home team who defended their try-line resolutely.
Winnington were next to score though, Mike Jones touching down after an attack of multiple phases with Brookes again accurate when adding the extras.
But they could not capitalise when the visitors were reduced to 14 men after Ryan Maddocks was sent to the sin bin, leading 14-5 at the interval.
Douglas dominated the opening exchanges of the second period, camping inside Park's 22, though they could not turn their territorial advantage into points.
Instead replacement Chris Heptinstall showed glimpses of his former self when finishing a slick passing move with a flash of acceleration.
Brookes' conversion extended Park's lead.
Their victory was secure when Craig Lamb chased his own interception kick, only to be pipped at the line by Danny Williams who claimed the first try of a brace.
Lindsay had a try chalked off, though Williams doubled his personal tally shortly afterwards out wide. Brookes' fourth conversion of the afternoon completed the scoring.
Park Underdown, Sanson, Taylor, Alston (Will Armstrong), Heale, Dykes (Wharton), Danny Williams, Stubbs, Mike Jones, Brookes, Lamb, Lindsay, Reeks, Owen (Heptinstall), Allmark. Tries Danny Williams (2), Lindsay, Mike Jones, Heptinstall. Cons Brookes (4).

THE young woman found drowned in Rivington reservoir had a tragic life, it has emerged.
The woman, who has been named as Donna Greenall, had appeared at Bolton Magistrates Court, charged with being drunk and disorderly and breaching an anti-social behaviour order the day before her death.
Her body was found just after 6pm on Tuesday by dog walker Julian Holt, in the Lower Rivington Reservoir.
The 26-year-old had a chequered history of offending including a number of incidents involving being drunk and disorderly and making nuisance calls to the emergency services.
In March she was jailed for four months after being found guilty of assaulting policeman Jordan Caton.
She was also given an anti-social behaviour order around the same time, barring her from being drunk in public, making hoax calls to emergency services and behaving in a way "likely to cause distress or alarm".
After Ms Greenall was released from prison she was jailed again when she was again convicted of making false reports to police.
Magistrates described her as having a "flagrant disregard" for court orders as well as a record of previous offences when passing the sentence.
Ms Greenall served just a few weeks of that sentence and after being released, was arrested again on July 26 for behaving in a drunk and disorderly manner in Kemble Close, Horwich, contravening the ASBO that she had been earlier served with.
She appeared at Bolton Magistrates Court on Monday, the day before her death, and was given a 12- week sentence, suspended for six months.
According to court lists, Ms Greenall had lived at a number of addresses in the last year, including Nottingham Drive and Brownlow Way.
The latest court list, recorded the day before her death, suggested she was of "no fixed abode" at the time, although it is thought she had recently lived in Horwich.
The case has been passed to Preston Coroners Court where the date for an inquest into the circumstances surrounding her death is to be set.

I am officially fed up with Stephen Jackson. He was 1-8 from the field in 27+ minutes of work. He will have a good game here and there but he is MUCH too streaky for my liking. I hope he is gone during the off season. He is a very good defender but his streaky shooting and passing ability (or lack there of) are killing me. I say trade him for a draft pick and maybe a solid backup. Besides, I am comfortable with our lineup without him
C Jeff Foster, David Harrison, Scot Pollard
PF Jermaine O'Neal, Danny Granger, Scot Pollard, Austin Croshere
SF Danny Granger, Peja, Austin Croshere
SG Peja, Fred Jones, Sarunas
PG Jamaal Tinsley, Sarunas, AJ
Add in whatever we get in the draft or trade and , healthy, that is a contending team.

WASHINGTON The economy stagnates. Syria burns. Scandals lap at his feet. China and Russia mock him, even as a "29-year-old hacker" revealed his nation's spy secrets to the world. How does President Obama respond? With a grandiloquent speech on climate change.
Climate change? It lies at the very bottom of a list of Americans' concerns (last of 21 Pew poll). Which means that Obama's declaration of unilateral American war on global warming, whatever the cost and it will be heavy is either highly visionary or hopelessly solipsistic. You decide:
Global temperatures have been flat for 16 years a curious time to unveil a grand, hugely costly, socially disruptive anti-warming program.

This Saturday was the first time I've actually felt really festive and ready for the holidays. I took the afternoon to go shopping on my own, and the city was hopping and happy.
While stopping for my post-workout coffee at the Starbucks on 93rd and Broadway, I ran into the festive trio at left, and that pretty much set the tone for my day. After making a comment about how that beard looked itchy, I learned that it was SantaCon yesterday, which is basically just a huge bar crawl requiring people to dress up like Santa. (During the course of the day I also saw several slutty Mrs. Claus', elves, and even an abominable snowman. I'm totally doing SantaCon next year.) Read More

Order Fair Trade Certified Flowers for Mom
Celebrate Mom with A Bouquet Grown with Love
Mother's Day is right around the corner! As you stock up on goodies and wrap those gifts for mom, don't forget about the flowers! What better symbolizes your love for her and your support for moms around the world than to send the gift of Fair Trade Certified flowers? When you buy these sprigs, bunches and bouquets, you are supporting women's work in Ecuador -- helping provide maternity leave, safe working conditions and protection from hazardous chemicals for mothers and their families. Here are a few easy ways to purchase your Fair Trade Certified flowers for mom:
- In store at: Whole Foods Market, New Seasons Market, Bristol Farms and Stop & Shop
- Online at: OneWorldFlowers.org and 1800flowers.com
Order today to make sure the flowers arrive on time!
In honor of Mother's Day, we'd like to highlight a few inspiring stories about the hardworking, dedicated and inspirational women and moms of Fair Trade:
Rosa García - Hoja Verde Flower Worker, Ecuador
Rosa García is a worker at Hoja Verde, a family-owned flower farm in Cayambe, Ecuador. Through the Children's Health Program the farm established with its Fair Trade premium, Rosa is able to receive preventative healthcare for her children in the form of check-ups and treatments, vaccines, and vitamin supplements at low co-pays.
"This program helps me cover all of my children's medications and the money that I saved helps me provide quality food for my children," – Rosa Garcia, Hoja Verde Worker
Pilar Rocha - Jardines Piaveri Ltd. Flower Worker, Ecuador
Pilar Rocha is another great source of inspiration for flower farmers as well as a great example of who benefits from our purchases. She works at Piaveri Gardens nestled into a valley in mountainous volcano region of Ecuador. Jardines Piaveri Ltd. used its Fair Trade premiums to fund a microcredit, low-interest loan program for workers and their families that would like to start their own small business. It also finances community programs that ranged from providing 50 school chairs to elementary schools in the area to helping elderly seniors in local parishes and towns. Jardines Piaveri Ltd. also provides annual breast cancer and health screenings for their female workers and their families. Pilar has benefited from these programs as well as the atmosphere of empowerment Fair Trade has brought to Piaveri Gardens.
Pilar Rocha, pictured on the far right, holds flowers from Piaveri Gardens.
"I've worked on many flower farms in my life, but this one is different. We're paid more and job safety is better. And for the first time, I feel respected." – Pilar Rocha, Jardines Paiveri Worker
Vanesa Perez – Agrogana Flower Worker, Ecuador
The workers at Agrogana know the importance of education and democratically decided to use their Fair Trade Funds on afterschool programs for the children of their workers. Vanesa Perez from Latacunga, Ecuador (pictured below), teaches English to elementary school-aged children of Agrogana employees for three hours every Monday through Thursday.
These women are a snapshot of what your gift of Fair Trade flowers can do for mothers and women around the world. We know how important that smile is when Mom walks in and sees those roses in bloom. Now take a moment to imagine the smile on the face of the mother who can now send her child to school on a scholarship funded by Fair Trade premiums or the HIV/AIDS support group in Kenya made possible by your purchase. This Mother's Day, pamper your mom with a gift that gives back and impacts the lives of moms and their families around the world.
Don't forget to order today to make sure your flowers arrive on time!

What makes a great band name? Well, it depends on who you ask.
The other day, in an effort to stir up trouble on my Facebook page, I wrote the following post:
"Sooo, say I was to compile a list of the best Wilmington bands of all times. Who should not be left off that list?"
More than 100 comments later, I knew that trying to create the definitive version of such a list was a fool's errand that would only upset a bunch of people. But I still had space to fill in Friday's Weekend section — we have The List every week — and a list of every Wilmington band ever wasn't going to cut it.
And so, weaseling out of the situation as best as I could, I decided not to go with The (large number) Best Wilmington Bands of All Time, and instead took things down the path of 14 of the Best Wilmington Band NAMES of all time. God knows we've had a lot of them.
What makes a great band name? Well, it depends on who you ask. Some might say Prefab Sprout (not a Wilmington band, of course) is the best band name of all time; others might call it the worst. For me, it's about creativity, humor (puns help), layers of meaning, something unexpected, maybe even a little shocking or naughty.
And so, in no particular order and without elaboration, I present to you:
14 of the best Wilmington band names of all time:
1. Rural Swine
2. All Tore Up
3. Glow in the Dark Scars
4. Tricky the Cosmonaut
5. D&D Sluggers
6. Jake the Evil Redneck
7. N U Deep
8. Apocalipstick
9. Pandora's Lunchbox
10. Raised by Cows
11. Mute Lingo
12. MonkeyKnifeFight
13. The Jackson Hives
14. Mullet Revolta
Agree? Disagree? Lambaste away.

This letter is regarding Lake County reconsidering some type of county-owned facility for electricity. Sonoma County and some of the cities in Sonoma County are in the process of setting up agreements regarding buying power from power plants and reselling the electricity.
I believe we still have the best opportunity in our own backyard where we could come up with a plan through a venture capitalist making an agreement with the Geysers and sell the electricity back to PG&E, to be distributed to the people in Lake County and make profit from the resale of the electricity.
This would be a forever thing and we have it in our own backyard and we choose to ignore it. I think it is time that the County of Lake look at, and negotiate with someone to put this type of agreement together. Other counties have researched and there is information available for the County of Lake for free at this time. Lake County could be able to get a headstart on this free research that has already been prepared by other counties. Lake County could give all its residents economical electricity forever and the county could make money.
Something is much better than nothing. As we are today, we have nothing, except resource in our own backyard, which is always the first step.

One of the ways I monitor what is going on in the web and mobile development industry is to look at job listings. While there are tons of sources to scour, a site called indeed.com conveniently aggregates multiple sources into a searchable trend database that allows you to look up and monitor evolving job titles, skill requirements, and technology trends over time. I was first introduced to indeed.com from a colleague of mine at Adobe whose role required him to monitor evolving and growing job roles to help make strategy decisions on where to take software.
From just a few searches, you can start to get a general picture of some basic findings:
When you do a basic search for job titles like "web designer" and "web developer," there is clear long term growth, but you also see an interesting recent trend.
First let me explain this graph. Out of all of the job listings that indeed.com aggregates (which go far beyond tech positions) the graph shows the overall percentage of jobs that match the search term within the available listings. This percentage is based on the total number of jobs available at the time of sampling, which can go up or down, but shows the overall growth over time of that percentage.
In this case, there has been a slow growth over time for the role of web designer, growing from just under .1% in 2005 to just over .1% today. The web developer role has gone up from .25% in 2005 to just over .4% today. What is interesting to note, however, is that the web developer role has gone down in the last 12 months. While this data doesn't tell us why the percentage has decreased in the last twelve months, it does provide a quantitative source to start investigating further.
When you consider the growth of mobile, have you ever considered how web roles stack up against mobile roles?
This graph paints a slightly different picture. When you superimpose the mobile role titles of "mobile developer," "user experience designer," and "user interface designer" on top of the existing web roles (web designer and web developer), you can see the slow growth in mobile development positions over the last two years. This can form a couple of hypotheses. First, that web developer roles are moving to mobile development. Second, that user experience and user interface design roles are impeding the growth of web design.
While there isn't enough information to prove these hypotheses, it is an interesting piece of data to monitor, and it may lead you to other sources to prove or disprove your hypotheses.
One of the things that is difficult to determine with indeed.com is information about very specific technologies, or uses of technology. The indeed.com database is much better at representing large technology areas. One specific area of interest is the perceived growth of HTML5 and the decline of Flash.
When you look at the data, you see there has been a long-term growth of Flash, but when HTML5 technology needs hit the job market around mid-2009, the growth of HTML5 in job postings grew at a steady pace. When you look at Flash roles, there are nearly three and a half times as many Flash jobs as HTML5 jobs—however, the decline of Flash roles in the last year is at a steeper slope than that of the growth with HTML5.
If you draw trend lines based on the rates of growth or decline in the last 12 months, jobs mentioning HTML5 will overtake Flash sometime later this year.
The data that indeed.com has covers up to late 2011. If the rates change has changed since then, then the point of intersection may have already happened, or will happen sooner than this prediction. While this is not a scientific way to look at it, it does provide additional information that can help guide people in their professional development.
If you do another data slice around the three major content management systems, Joomla!, WordPress, and Drupal, you can see how they are trending in the job market:
WordPress is clearly taking the lead in the job market, with Drupal and Joomla following. It is interesting to see that they were all around the same in the middle of 2009, but then WordPress shot up. The division of Joomla and Drupal took place sometime in early 2010.
A relatively new trend that is also interesting to map in job listings is responsive design. Responsive design—something that we generally take for granted—is growing quickly. By doing a search on indeed.com, you can start to validate that belief with data:
While responsive design within job postings is still a very small percentage, the growth rate has been staggering in the last year, and following this current trend it will continue to grow significantly in 2012.
By looking at job trend data it is interesting to see how roles, technologies, and required skills are changing over time. This information can help inform your professional development, and help you to understand how shifts take place in the job market.
While research like this isn't scientifically rock-solid, it does start to form hypothesis that you can use to validate against other sources, or take to the community to ask more questions and get additional guidance.

Frank Delicious wrote:and now we know the secret to your power. You are more machine than bear!
When the fingers are stationary the energy can only move to the disc. This maximizes spin and sacrifices speed and hurts you in the short run. Safe maximized spin/speed combination comes from an abrupt retarding, not full stopping, of the wrist opening 10-20 degrees to the right of hand shaking position for hyper spin and accelerating the arm to move faster after the disc separation from fingers allowing a full follow through. Regular snap stops the wrist at hand shaking position. When you retard the wrist motion to the right the wrist should be pushed down or be already down so that the disc is inline but lower than the line between the wrist and the elbow. This helps in keeping the nose of the disc down. It isn't easy to keep on holding on to the disc so that it will not slip out prior to the disc pivoting between the index finger and the thumb. Many don't have enough finger strength to accomplish that without training. Squeezing almost as hard with the middle finger as the index finger helps. When the wrist slows down the disc leaves the vicinity of the palm during the pivot. The disc moves with so much force that the index finger can't stay crooked and if you pinch hard enough the disc will pull the index finger straight pointed at the target. By this time the disc has pivoted so that only the finger print of the index finger and the thumb touch the disc at the rear of the disc. That, a straighter flight and added distance are indicators of a great snap. If you manage to turn the shoulders so that the arm is straight as the disc rips out and the shoulder line points to 11.30-11.45 o'clock with the target being at 12 o'clock you can't achieve more from power from body positions. After that only more acceleration and stronger retarding of the elbow and wrist during proper times adds more power along with a more powerful run up.
How about a description of what body parts to move to where at different stages of the throw?
JR discussing forearm motion wrote:The muscles tense up automatically so you don't need to add muscle effort in any other way than trying to move the forearm fast and slightly tensioning the so far totally loose grip on the disc.
I was balancing text length with the required amount of data and left out some data. Style and ease of understanding wise do you think that the time line should be simpler and more data should be explained elsewhere in the article?

Before artists like Macklemore and Ryan Lewis, Buckshot has served as a prototype for the independent artist. The Brooklyn-born emcee, along with Drew "Dru Ha" Friedman founded Duck Down Records and immediately built the label into a Hip Hop house of royalty, cutting deals with artists like B-Real, Pharoahe Monch, 9th Wonder as well as working on his own projects like Black Moon and Boot Camp Clik.
When the music industry shifted from plastic to digital, Buckshot stayed ahead of the curve, giving artists an alternative to the major label's 360 deals, which allow the label to take a portion of any revenue earned, music related or otherwise.
As an artist, Buckshot has collaborated with some of the most venerable names in Hip Hop, from 2009's Survival Skills, which he did with KRS-One to Chemistry (2005), The Formula (2009), and The Solution (2012) which he did with North Carolina producer, 9th Wonder. For his latest project, Backpack Travels, which will hit stores June 24, the venerable emcee enlisted Kiwi DJ/producer, P-Money, to produce the 10-track album, which also features appearances by Joey Bada$$, CJ Fly, Raz Fresco, David Dallas, Steele, T'Nah Apex and Chelsea Reject.
Though he's only 27 years of age, P-Money has already earned several awards in his home country, New Zealand, and has laced tracks for artists like Sauce Money, Akon, Skillz, Bobby Creekwater and more.
In an exclusive interview with HipHopDX, Buckshot talks about working with younger artists like P-Money and the Pro Era crew, and why today more than ever, it pays to be independent and the ideological shift on the perception of "backpack Rap."
Buckshot Explains His Natural Chemistry With P-Money & Pro Era
HipHopDX: On Survival Skills you were working with "The Teacher," KRS-One, who was nine years your senior. This time around you're the teacher. Was the age difference a factor in working together in the studio?
Buckshot: I don't think P was as conscious of [the age difference], just like I wasn't as conscious of it with KRS. As much as you'd like to believe so or think there might be a clash 'cause of the age difference, we're not here forever, so take advantage of the position that you want to be in and go for it. That's the one thing I love about Backpack Travels. It just reflects beats and rhymes. And it's funny because to work with the younger cats from P-Money to Pro Era, all of that happened naturally.
DX: Speaking of Pro Era, those guys really represent that '90s New York sound that you helped cultivate early on. What was it like working with those guys?
Buckshot: Those guys are next level. Not only do they respect the music from the '90s, but they respect the music that we put out in the '90s, so it was just natural that we connected on a musical level. You got an artist like that that loves underground Hip Hop from the '90s. I'm one of the few artists from that era that's still out here, representing from the '90s. And one of the questions that I get asked constantly is, "Where you been?" or "What you been up to?" And that's more the older cats. The younger cats will know what I'm doing. That just shows that they're out of touch with Hip Hop. Anybody old school should embrace the new school and what the new school is doing because that's how they gained respect, and that's how people gained respect for you.
Why Buckshot Says Backpack Rap Is Being Embraced
DX: The album is called Backpack Travels. How do you think the perception of backpack Rap has changed from the time you first dropped the line about rocking, "baggy black jeans, knapsack and a beeper," back in '93?
Buckshot: The perception of backpack Rap has changed from something that was negative at first, and then it turned to something positive. It becoming positive is something that came from what we did and how we came out with the perception. Later on through the years, people learned to embrace it. When I came up, I respected guys like KRS-One, and guys like Rakim and Big Daddy Kane because you could tell that these people grew up when Hip Hop was about beats and rhymes. If you got respect for the artists of yesterday, you're more likely to have respect for the artists of today as far as the love of original Hip Hop. With that being said, the artists that are on my album represent the love and the respect of artists from yesterday. They represent that love, and it was very important for me to translate that to the artists of today. When you hear artists like that that make music, you should acknowledge them because these are not just artists that are putting out records to put out records. These are artists that are putting out records representing Hip Hop.
DX: These days you got guys like Tech N9ne and Macklemore reaping the benefits of being independent artists, but you were one of the first to do it. Do you feel that now, more than ever emcees should opt for independence over signing with the majors?
Buckshot: I know all about the music industry. I know where this stuff is headed. I knew where brick and mortar was headed years ago. That's why I got online. I had DuckDown.com since 1995, before people even knew what a dot com was. This cool ass white dude put me on to computers and told me, "This is where we gotta go." I knew what was gonna happen, and I'm telling you the same thing is gonna happen now. You see how crazy this music industry is because people just don't know. All these 360 deals that are mandatory now for all the major labels are the craziest thing in the world. Period. That's the worst situation. Getting signed [to a major label] now is so much worse, because the labels give you a small amount of money and then they're taking all your stuff. So any time we give you money for anything you gotta give money to the label. Labels got smart and said, "We're tired of giving a million or $100,000 dollars to the artist, and he winds up taking all the promotion that we did for him and go out there and get an endorsement deal for a million dollars, and we don't get a cent from it." But that was how it was supposed to go, and people like Lyor Cohen came through and did that wack ass 360 deal shit.

'Breakthrough of the Year' Redraws Evolutionary Picture
In 2009, an international team of researchers published the results of 15 years of study of "Ardi," the oldest hominid skeleton uncovered to date. The journal Science named the discovery of this 4.4-million-year-old creature its "Breakthrough of the Year 2009," and scientists from Case Western Reserve University played an integral part in the field research and analysis of the fossils that have redrawn humanity's evolutionary family tree.
The remains were first discovered in 1994 near the Awash River in Ethiopia. At 4.4 million years old, Ardi, short for her species' proper name, Ardipithecus ramidus, is 1.2 million years older than the famed Lucy skeleton (an Australopithecus afarensis) discovered 20 years earlier, also in Ethiopia. According to researchers, Ardi stood about 4 feet tall and weighed approximately 110 pounds. What makes this female hominid so special are the unique attributes that identify her as a possible human ancestor in the midst of transitioning from climbing on all fours to walking upright on two legs.
Ardi is vastly different from the chimpanzees so often thought to be the model of our forebears. These fossils show that human ancestors and apes were already evolving away from each other more than 4 million years ago, according to Scott W. Simpson, PhD, associate professor of anatomy at Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine and research associate at the Cleveland Museum of Natural History.
The Ardi fossils shed light on a previously poorly understood time period in human evolution and also provide new insights into the common ancestor from which human and ape family trees diverged millions of years ago.
Before the discovery of Ardi, researchers assumed that our common ancestor would be more chimpanzee-like. But Ardi's anatomy is a unique blend of characteristics—some similar to chimps, some similar to monkeys—including a pelvis designed for both climbing and upright bipedal motion, a fully opposable grasping big toe and small canine and incisor teeth unlike the larger ones of modern chimps. These features indicate that the common ancestor looked and acted less like chimpanzees than previously thought. "It's completely different from what we predicted and changes not only the way we think about human ancestors, but chimpanzees and monkeys, too," Simpson says. "This is one of those quantum leaps in understanding."
Simpson participated in seven years of field research in Ethiopia with the team and coauthored three of the 11 papers on Ardi. Yohannes Haile-Selassie, PhD, curator and head of physical anthropology at the Cleveland Museum of Natural History and an adjunct professor in the departments of anthropology, anatomy and cognitive science at Case Western Reserve, discovered the skeleton. Haile-Selassie and Simpson, along with Bruce Latimer, PhD, former executive director of the Cleveland Museum of Natural History and an adjunct professor of anatomy, anthropology and cognitive science at Case Western Reserve, and Linda Spurlock, director of Human Health at the museum, contributed to seven of the papers.
The Case Western Reserve researchers were part of a team of 47 scientists from nine nations who contributed to the 11 published papers.

THE Clarets' promotion success has been immortalised in song by an Irish folk band.
The Corrigan Brothers, who had their biggest hit with a track called There's No-one As Irish As Barack Obama, have penned a tune paying tribute to Sean Dyche's side.
The band, formerly known as Hardy Drew and the Nancy Boys, said they were inspired to write Burnley Are Back Where They Belong by their cousins Billy and Des Foley, who live in Burnley.
The band's guitarist Brian Corrigan, from Castletroy, County Limerick, said: "Our Burnley cousins, the Foleys, are very serious Clarets fans and we felt we should celebrate Burnley's return to where they belong, the Premier League, in song."
The Corrigan Brothers – completed by multi-instrumentalists Ger and Donncha – plan to visit their cousins for the first home game of the Premier League season.
Brian added: "We will have a few pints, and sing a few songs."

A CANCER expert from Droitwich has warned being aware of the signs of bowel cancer – which kills someone in the UK every 30 minutes – could make the difference between life and death.
As part of this month's Bowel Cancer Awareness Month consultant colorectal surgeon at the BMI Droitwich Spa Hospital Simon Radley has said, when spotted early, the disease can successfully treated in more than 90 per cent of cases.
Figures by Cancer Research UK show more than 93 per cent of people diagnosed with the condition at an early stage live for at least five years in comparison with seven per cent of those who find out at a later stage.
Mr Radley – who also founded the Birmingham Bowel Clinic – said it was important to be aware of symptoms including weight loss, feeling tired without reason, stomach pains or a lump in the stomach.
"If you know what is normal you can then act if something out of the ordinary happens," he said.
"A change in your bowel habit that lasts for three weeks or more, blood in your poo are warning signs that need acting upon as soon as possible."
"In many cases there is not a clear cut reason why some people develop bowel cancer, but you can reduce your personal risk of developing cancer by making some simple lifestyle choices."
Ways to prevent bowel cancer include quitting smoking, maintaining a healthy weight and cutting down on alcohol. Exercising regularly and eating healthily are also likely to reduce the risk of developing the disease.
