wikiHow to Add a Picture for a Contact on Gmail
One of the great benefits of having an e-mail address is the address book feature. People use these address books to save information about their contacts. You can list more than just phone numbers; now, you can save e-mail addresses, usernames, home addresses, and so on. This makes saving your contacts even more detailed. People use this feature for their company contacts, friends, family, and others. If you use Gmail, you can even post pictures of them. This makes browsing through your address book even easier. Adding a picture of one of your contacts is easy and can be done in seconds with a few easy steps.
1Go to Gmail. Open your Internet browser, click the search link, and type in www.gmail.com then press Enter on your keyboard. This will bring you to the Gmail home page where you will be asked to sign in.
2Sign in. Click on the e-mail address box and enter your e-mail address; click on the password box below it and enter your password. After entering both information, click on the "Sign In" button located below your information.
3Go to Contacts. Once you are logged in, you will notice the word "Google" at the top left of the screen. Below that is the word "Gmail"; click on it to make a three-item drop-down list appear. The second option down is Contacts; click this option.
4Choose a contact. Your list of contacts should now be shown. Scroll through your contacts until you find the one you want to add a picture to. Click on the name and a new screen will pop up.
5Click on "Add a Picture." You will see to the right of their name is a blank picture. On top of this blank picture is the caption "Add a picture"; click on this to continue.
6Add a picture. Once you click on "Add a picture," a window will pop up. You now have 4 different options for the profile picture of your contact:
- The first option is "Upload." This is how you upload a picture from your computer. You can either drag the picture from a folder directly onto the screen to add it or click on "Select a photo from your computer." Selecting a photo from your computer is as easy as clicking the button, browsing your files until you find a picture, and clicking on it.
- Option two is "Your photos." If you click on this, all of your current photos will pop up. You can click on one of them if you want to use it as a contact photo.
- The third option is "Profile photo." This option will mirror their contact photo to that of their Google+. You can select this option by clicking on it. If they do not have a Google+, it will tell you so.
- The final option is "No photo." This is for if you do not want them to have a profile picture at all. Simply click on the option if you do not want your contact to have a picture.
7Set the profile photo. When you are finished, click the blue "Set as contact photo" button on the window with the options; it will confirm the changes and save.
- This is all you need to do to change your contacts profile picture!

Cars Shot at Near Hebron; Wounded Woman Gives Birth
Sharon Zucker and his wife Neta, in the ninth month of pregnancy, were lightly wounded by gunfire as they drove in the southern Hebron hills in the West Bank on Sunday night.
Sharon Zucker and his wife Neta, in the ninth month of pregnancy, were lightly wounded by gunfire as they drove in the southern Hebron hills in the West Bank last night and she was rushed to Soroka Medical Center in Be'er Sheva, where she gave birth to a son via Cesarean section. The baby is in good condition.
Shots were fired at their vehicle hours before the freeze on settlement construction was due to expire. No Palestinian organization had claimed responsibility for the attack as of press time. The incident took place near the Omerim junction in the West Bank around 8 P.M. Assailants fired on two passing Israeli-owned cars. One vehicle did not sustain any damage, but the other car, which was driven by Sharon Zucker, was pierced by bullets.
"I was driving from Tel Omerim in the direction of a checkpoint, and as we drove past the quarry, we saw a car approaching," Zucker, 35, said. "All of a sudden, I began hearing gunshots.
"A few second later, I realized that we were being shot at, and I felt that I was hit in my leg," he said. "The first thing I did was to calm my wife down, but she told me that she also felt a hit to the leg. I realized that she was also shot. I immediately called the police while I was still driving. I didn't stop the car and I reported the attack.
"I understood there was no point in waiting for an ambulance and I began driving in the direction of Soroka," Zucker continued. "As I approached Shoket junction, I saw a police patrol vehicle and I asked the cops to take my wife to the hospital, because they could turn on their siren and drive unimpeded.
"When I tried to get my wife out of the car, I realized she couldn't get out," Zucker said.
"After my wife undergoes a C-section, the doctors will remove the bullet from her leg. This was not how I wanted to bring a child into this world," he said.
The attack coincides with frantic diplomatic efforts to resolve the disagreement over Israel's moratorium on construction in West Bank settlements, an issue that threatens the recently launched direct negotiations between Jerusalem and Ramallah.
Despite Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's pleas to tone down their exuberance, settlers gathered by the thousands yesterday to celebrate the end of the freeze.
In late August, four Israelis were shot dead in their car near the West Bank settlement of Kiryat Arba less than a day before Israeli and Palestinian leaders met in Washington for a summit to announce the talks. The attack, for which Hamas claimed responsibility, shattered years of relative calm in the West Bank.
One day later, two Israelis were wounded, one seriously, in a shooting attack near the Israeli settlement of Kochav Hashachar.

Prophetic Contingency: Why Jim Douglass's JFK Book Matters
Tikkun Magazine, November/December 2010
Prophetic Contingency: Why Jim Douglass's JFK Book Mattersby Ched Myers
Hope comes from walking through the darkness of our history.
-- James W. Douglass
This November marks the fiftieth anniversary of John F. Kennedy's election. The best way to honor his legacy is to muster the courage to walk again through the "dark history" associated with his short but consequential presidency, in order to learn its lessons and discover its hope. Jim Douglass's JFK and the Unspeakable: Why He Died and Why it Matters, which Touchstone is reissuing this month as a trade paperback, is a reliable guide for that demanding task.
Admittedly, walking back through this history is no small thing to ask of those who are too young to recall that contested chapter of the American story, or those who lived through it but cannot bear the burden of making sense of it. Mired in either "conspiracy fatigue" or cynicism, we as a people have yet to fully face the fact that in November 1963 the National Security State assassinated a sitting president who was challenging its hegemony. Yet the many poignant parallels between the upstart presidency of Obama and that of JFK (see Douglass's piece in this issue) urge us to reckon anew with "the Unspeakable."
The Unspeakable was an eschatological metaphor (in the Berdyaevian sense) coined by the great Trappist monk Thomas Merton in the wake of the Cuban Missile Crisis. In his 1966 book Raids on the Unspeakable, Merton described it as "the void that gets into the language of public and official declarations ... and makes them ring dead with the hollowness of the abyss. It is the void out of which Eichmann drew the punctilious exactitude of his obedience."
That void indeed characterizes contemporary history, from Truman's insistence that the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki were "necessary to save American lives" to George W. Bush's glib pronouncement of "Mission Accomplished" in Iraq. The steady, numbing diet of lies and spin from political and corporate elites, compounded by spectacularized infotainment, wears relentlessly on our personal equilibrium and political imagination. But that only underscores the importance of Merton's search for a spiritual hope that "begins where every other hope stands frozen stiff in the face of the Unspeakable." It is this quest that Douglass has taken up and invites us into.
Douglass is no conspiracy geek. Part of the Catholic theological renaissance that emerged from Vatican II, his incisive interpretations of both politics and religion through the lens of Gandhian satyagraha have for more than forty years inspired and resourced many faith-based peace activists, myself included. His critique of the totalitarian logic of nuclear militarism led Douglass to leave a promising academic and ecclesial career to cofound the Ground Zero Center for Nonviolent Action (www.gzcenter.org) right next to the Trident submarine base in Bangor, Washington.
In the 1990s I admired Douglass's peacemaking efforts in the Balkans but was frankly puzzled (like many in the movement) at his growing preoccupation with researching and writing about the assassinations of Jack and Bobby, Martin and Malcolm. But when I read JFK and the Unspeakable (originally published by Orbis Books in 2008), the first fruits of a decade of labor, I began to fathom the profound depths this mentor is probing on our behalf.
Last year my wife and I visited Jim and Shelley at the Catholic Worker center in Birmingham, Alabama. We toured the ramshackle little house where Jim researches and writes, located beside railroad tracks where, in a previous nonviolent campaign, they tracked the nuclear "White Train." Sitting at one of the many desks overflowing with books and papers, Jim patiently yet passionately explained (yet again) why JFK's life and death matter.
The book argues that Merton's Unspeakable is pre-eminently incarnated in the CIA's doctrine of "plausible deniability," which lies behind half a century of covert operations (not least JFK's murder), and which remains a lethal threat to our democracy. Douglass's greatest contribution to the formidable corpus of JFK literature is his persuasive account of how the president, shaken by the apocalyptic implications of the Cuban Missile Crisis, slowly abandoned his Cold War worldview. Because he subsequently dared to try to end the de facto rule of bipolar politics, endgame militarism, and the National Security establishment, this "peacemaking president could not survive the warmaking State."
It is, insists Douglass, "a story that encircles the earth ... whose telling can transform a nation." If, that is, it animates us to embrace the work of nonviolent revolution that alone can secure a future. I commend this book to Tikkun's readership. It could not matter more.

In chennai - Velachery, one of the prominent builders have encroached road apart from their plot and constructed buildings.
In addition to they have also put a security gate in the middle of the dead-end road, otherwise would have been a public road.
I want to know whom and How CMDA to be approached for knowing:
1. Whether building approval is given for the construction?
2. If any violation from builder, can road be reclaimed by CMDA intervention?
3. Whether the security gate put up without any permission on the road can be taken away?
How RTI act can be effectively used to seek this information and clear the encroachments.

WASHINGTON (AP) - Congress will investigate the "flagrant abuse" of a federal loan program designed to help businesses recover from the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks and make sure such problems don't occur with Hurricane Katrina relief, a key Senate Republican announced Friday.
Sen. Olympia Snowe, R-Maine, chairwoman of the Senate Small Business and Entrepreneurship Committee, announced the investigation in response to an Associated Press story Thursday that showed the federal program was so loosely managed that it gave low-interest loans to companies that didn't need terrorism relief or even know they were getting it.
"The apparent widespread abuse of loans provided through the Supplemental Terrorist Activity Relief Act is nothing short of an outrage," Snowe said.
The committee chairwoman said she would demand answers from both the banks that gave the loans and the Small Business Administration, which supervised the program.
"Congress must seek and find answers when confronted with a situation that represents a possible betrayal of the public trust especially at a time when the people of the Gulf Region need every resource available to recover," Snowe said. "...I intend to exert my oversight power to determine how such flagrant abuse could happen and to ensure that Small Business Administration loans truly go to those who need them."
The SBA guaranteed $3.7 billion in loans under the STAR program, bringing its total Sept. 11 assistance package for businesses to nearly $5 billion.
Sen. John Kerry of Massachusetts, the committee's top Democrat, joined in the call for an investigation.
"This was a deliberate attempt to cover up White House budget gimmicks that left the SBA's largest loan program underfunded and on the brink of shutting down," Kerry said. "The administration asked SBA employees to bend the rules and steer regular loans through the program aimed at helping businesses impacted by 9/11."
Also on Friday, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-N.Y., sent a letter to SBA Administrator Hector Barreto, urging him to conduct a comprehensive review of the STAR program and report the agency's findings to Congress as soon possible.
In a statement released Friday night, Barreto called the AP story "rife with errors and based on misunderstanding of what the programs were intended to accomplish." The statement did not cite any examples of errors or misunderstandings. Earlier, an agency spokesman, Michael Stamler, also claimed the story was wrong but refused to elaborate.
Barreto's statement said the program that provided roughly 75 percent of the $5 billion recovery effort "was operated in an open, transparent and aboveboard manner and did not reduce the availability of low-interest disaster recovery loans to small businesses in the areas directly attacked by the terrorists. We look forward to demonstrating to Congress and the American people that the SBA appropriately implemented its congressional mandate."
The AP reported Thursday that businesses as diverse as Dunkin' Donuts shops and motorcycle dealers far from New York and Washington got loans drawn without their knowledge by their banks from the Sept. 11 program.
AP quoted several business owners as saying they hadn't been hurt by the attacks and were embarrassed to learn their loans came from the program. And banking officials and SBA documents show the SBA encouraged lenders to give out the low-interest, government guaranteed loans using the loosest interpretation of the rules.

Palestinian President Yasser Arafat will hold talks with French leaders in Paris later Wednesday to discuss the ongoing problems in the Middle East peace talks and the potential of achieving a lasting accord with Israel, Kuwait News agency (KUNA) said.
Arafat, who is on a tour of European capitals, arrived in France Tuesday.
Reuters said Arafat was due to hold talks with President Jacques Chirac and Prime Minister Lionel Jospin.
Arafat's top aide Nabil Abu Rudeina told AFP that the Palestinian president would "discuss with Chirac the peace process and bilateral relations and will also brief him on the outcome of his meeting with US President Bill Clinton" in Washington April 20.
Abu Rudeina said Arafat wanted to put forward the Palestinian position to Chirac before France assumes the rotating presidency of the European Union in the second half of the year.
Paris has been the focal point of a flurry of high-level contacts on the difficult Middle East peace process, including visits by Israeli foreign minister David Levy and his Syrian counterpart Farouq Shara - (Agencies)

Presidential campaign. Feb. 5 Primaries to Pose A Super Test of Strategy "After the trench warfare of Iowa and New Hampshire and the upcoming skirmishes in a handful of states, a very different battle awaits the presidential candidates on Feb. 5: the biggest and most challenging single day in a recent campaign for a party nomination."
Republicans. GOP rivals reverse roles "John McCain and Mike Huckabee traded places yesterday, with the war-hawk senator preaching Judeo-Christian values and the ordained Southern Baptist minister talking bullets and bombs at an armored-vehicle plant." Romney stance on Michigan trail clashes with Massachusetts record " On the eve of today's potentially make-or-break primary in Michigan, Mitt Romney campaigned as the savior of the auto industry, trying to convince voters that he is the Republican presidential hopeful best equipped to turn around the state's battered economy." Michigan's sagging economy is Tuesday's big issue "Michigan's Republican presidential primary on Tuesday is this election year's first clear referendum on who voters think can best manage - and revive - the slumping economy, which has hit this state harder than most."
Democrats. Clinton and Obama Call for Truce Over Dr. King Dispute "Speaking to black and Hispanic New Yorkers, Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton tried on Monday to quell a controversy over race in the fight for the Democratic presidential nomination by praising the Rev. Dr. Martin Lither King Jr. and describing him as a trailblazer for both herself and her rival, Senator Barack Obama." Democratic rivals try to calm racial rhetoric "After a week of race-related acrimony between the Clinton and Obama camps, Sens. Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama sought to tamp down the unpleasantries and lower the temperature of the Democratic presidential race." As Candidates Agree, Aides Keep Sparring As a controversy over racially charged politics threatened to spin out of control and supporters of Sens. Hillary Rodham Clinton (N.Y.) and Barack Obama (Ill.) expressed concern that the ongoing debate would revive old images of a party mired in identity politics and haunt the eventual Democratic nominee in the general election, the candidates inched toward a truce."
Economy. Pelosi Begins Discussions on Stimulus to Economy "Speaker Nancy Pelosi met with the Federal Reserve chairman, Ben S. Bernanke, to discuss potential action by Congress, the White House and the central bank to jump-start the economy and try to shorten the slowdown that many economists say has already begun to take hold." As Talk of Recession Grows, Republicans and Democrats Differ on Response "For Democratic presidential contenders, the growing risk of a recession is an opportunity for action. For Republican contenders, accustomed to calling for less government intervention, it presents a dilemma."
Mideast. Mideast peace talks get underway "Israeli and Palestinian negotiators began addressing the most difficult issues of their decades-old conflict, keeping a promise to President Bush but putting Israel's coalition government under strain." Gaza's Christian population wanes "Life has become increasingly difficult for Christians in Gaza since Hamas seized control of the coastal strip in June. Most Christians do not hold Hamas directly responsible, but they are calling for increased protection and accountability." Israel kills Hamas leader's son "Israeli forces killed the militant son of a powerful Hamas leader in Gaza in one of the bloodiest days of fighting since the group took control of the Gaza Strip in June."
Pakistan. Militants Escape Control of Pakistan, Officials Say"Pakistan's premier military intelligence agency has lost control of some of the networks of Pakistani militants it has nurtured since the 1980s, and is now suffering the violent blowback of that policy,"
Iraq. Iraq Defense Minister Sees Need for U.S. Security Help Until 2018"The Iraqi defense minister that his nation would not be able to take full responsibility for its internal security until 2012, nor be able on its own to defend Iraq's borders from external threat until at least 2018." Top naval officer warns of growing costs of maintaining war fleet"The US Navy's top officer has warned that the skyrocketing costs of designing and building cutting-edge warships - a problem that has plagued some shipbuilding programs in recent years - could hamper the service's ability to obtain the fleet it needs to defend American interests"
Iran. Israel: All 'on table' to halt Iran nukes "Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said that "all options" were open to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons, suggesting that Israel was prepared to use military force if it deemed it necessary against Tehran's nuclear program." Olmert hints that strikes on nuclear sites in Iran are an option"Prime Minister Ehud Olmert warned that all options are open when it comes to keeping Iran from obtaining atomic weapons, his clearest sign yet that Israel could use force against a nation considered among its most serious threats."UN 'to mull new Iran sanctions' "Foreign ministers from the UN Security Council's five permanent members, plus Germany, will meet next Tuesday in Berlin to discuss Iran, diplomats say. They are expected to explore whether to impose a third round of sanctions on Tehran over its nuclear programme."
Darfur. Aid workers flee Darfur amid bombing "Aid workers have been forced out of parts of West Darfur after the bombing of rebel positions by Sudanese government planes. According to rebels and international sources, Antonov aircraft belonging to the government bombed two villages near the West Darfur capital, el-Geneina,"
Emergency care. Emergency Care Waits Found to Be on Rise "Patients are waiting longer for care in the nation's emergency rooms, a potentially deadly result of the shrinking number of emergency departments and rising demand for emergency services, according to a new study by researchers at Harvard Medical School."
It Took a Partnership (Joseph A. Califano Jr., Washington Post) "The visionary preacher and the tough-talking master politician would be the first to say that they needed each other. I know how they came to work together, in a complex partnership, to produce a social revolution that has saved this nation."
Who was more important, the president or the preacher? (Robert Mann, Boston Globe) "WHO IS more responsible for all those New England Patriots touchdowns this season - Tom Brady or Randy Moss? To argue this question would strike many as silly. The answer, of course, is that both men, and other team members, played essential but unique roles in their team's success. A similar and equally pointless question has emerged in the contest for the Democratic presidential nomination: In the long struggle for civil rights, who was more important, the preacher or the president?"
Iraq, anyone? (James Reston Jr., USA Today) "A year from now, no matter who is elected, this country will inaugurate a postwar president. Depending on the continued success of the troop surge, the growing confidence of Iraqi authority and the safety of the withdrawal, the details might be different. But essentially, the nightmare of Iraq will be over and a new era of U.S. history will begin. So why are none of the candidates putting forward their vision of the post-Iraq era in America?"

.- The White House and U.S. Department of State are condemning reports that the Iranian government has issued an execution order for Pastor Yousef Nadarkhani because he refuses to reject his Christian faith.
"This action is yet another shocking breach of Iran's international obligations, its own constitution, and stated religious values," said a Feb. 23 statement from the White House press secretary's office.
The White House condemned "in the strongest possible terms" reports that a death sentence was issued for the pastor, expressed "solidarity" with Nadarkhani, and observed that the ability to practice one's faith "without fear of persecution" is "a fundamental and universal human right."
Through its actions towards the condemned pastor, the Iranian government is demonstrating a "total disregard for religious freedom" and "continuing violation of the universal rights of its citizens," it said.
The White House called for "people of conscience and governments around the world" to demand that Iran release Nadarkhani immediately and show a respect for basic human rights.
On the same day, the U.S. State Department voiced deep concern over the reports, noting a recent "increase in repression of freedom of expression" in Iran, where government persecution of religion is "common" and many religious groups "face harsh treatment."
"We stand with religious and political leaders from around the world" to condemn Nadarkhani's conviction and call for his release, the State Department said.
Nadarkhani has been in jail since he was arrested for apostasy in 2009. His arrest came after he complained to local authorities about his son being forced to read the Quran at school.
The pastor argued that he had never been a Muslim during his adult life.
Although an appeals court agreed with his assertion, it also ruled that he had left the faith of his ancestors and must therefore recant or face execution for apostasy.
Despite the death threats, Nadarkhani has stood firm and refused to renounce his faith.
Jordan Sekulow, executive director of the American Center for Law and Justice, said the statements from the White House and State Department confirm the reports he has received from contacts in Iran. Those sources told Sekulow that the government has issued an execution order for Nadarkhani that might be carried out at any time.
"We greatly appreciate the White House's and State Department's efforts," Sekulow said.
He added that it "is absolutely critical that we continue to place international pressure on Iran" for Nadarkhani's "immediate and unconditional release."
The American Center for Law and Justice has been closely monitoring Nadarkhani's situation for months, and has asked people to pray for the pastor and spread the word about his plight, especially through social media outlets.

STANFORD — With so many players on the Women's Tennis Association circuit from Eastern Europe — there are 23 in the top 50 alone — sometimes a little controversy doesn't hurt as far as getting noticed.
Much to her chagrin, Poland's Agnieszka Radwanska accomplished that a few weeks ago when she posed in the buff for ESPN the Magazine's body issue, the same issue that featured 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick "in the flesh" on its cover.
Even though Radwanska's lone photo was a modest, tasteful, strategically positioned shot of her sitting in a chair near a swimming pool full of tennis balls, the photo created a firestorm in her home country, where she was dropped by a Catholic youth group for "immoral behavior."
It might not sound like such a big deal, but Radwanska, 24, is a celebrity back home. She was the first Polish woman to win a WTA tournament and has 12 titles. She is ranked fourth in the world and lacks only a Grand Slam title to be considered one of the game's elite players.
Since the magazine came out, Radwanska is making her first tournament appearance this week in the Bank of the West Classic at Stanford's Taube Family Tennis Center, and she can't wait to get started, if only to put her off-court controversy on the back burner.
But Radwanska doesn't regret her decision, hasn't apologized and believes the organization that criticized her overreacted.
"I think I wasn't really expecting that huge thing about it," she said. "I'm still happy that I did it."
While she has resisted answering too many questions about it in the media, she posted a long statement on her Facebook page offering her point of view about the pose.
"The pictures are certainly not meant to cause offense and to brand them as immoral clearly does not take into account the context of the magazine," she said. "Moreover, they do not contain any explicit imagery whatsoever. I train extremely hard to keep my body in shape and that's what the article and the magazine is all about."
This will be Radwanska's fourth appearance at the Bank of the West — she will play her first match Wednesday night against Italy's Francesca Schiavone — and her first as the top seed after last week's withdrawal of second-ranked Maria Sharapova.
Radwanska is taking nothing for granted, though. At Wimbledon, she was the highest-ranked player to make the semifinals after Serena Williams and Sharapova were upset in the first week and Victoria Azarenka pulled out with a knee injury.
Radwanska conceded her first Grand Slam was there for the taking, but she was upset by 23rd-ranked Sabine Lisicki of Germany in a grueling three-set semifinal.
Radwanska said she just ran out of gas during a third set that Lisicki won 9-7.
"I had a lot of tough matches over there — four matches in a row that lasted over three hours," she said. "That's a lot on grass. My legs were really working hard, and I wasn't fresh enough for the third set. It was pretty close, but she was just better on a few points."
As consolation, Radwanska is proud of the fact that she is the only player to make the quarterfinals in all three Grand Slams this year, and doing it on the clay courts of the French Open was a breakthrough.
"It's not my favorite surface," she said.
She was also the only Wimbledon semifinalist who left the tournament healthy enough to come to the Bank of the West. Wimbledon champion Marion Bartoli, Lisicki and Kirsten Flipkens pulled out with injuries.
"I think all of those girls were playing a lot of tennis," she said. "I did, too, but I think my body has recovered. I've been playing well and I'm ready to start my hard-court season."
She is even more ready to put the magazine flap behind her.

For two members of the Immaculate-Joel Barlow High wrestling team the season would continue last week.
Freshman Emmett LiCastri and junior Steve Ghossaini both qualified for the State Open finals on Friday and Saturday, Feb. 22-23. By the time they were done each had placed in his respective weight class.
Together they combined for 26 points, which allowed Barlow to place 28th out of 97 teams. Danbury was the winner with 130. Windham and South Windsor were tied for runner-up, each with 121.
"There were a lot of outstanding wrestlers from so many schools that we never see during the regular season," said Immaculate-Barlow head coach Phil LiCastri. "So we never know exactly how we will match up until we go head to head with them.
Competing in the 126-pound group, Emmett LiCastri started by winning a 15-6 major decision over Terryville's Sam Ferreira. It was much close in the next match as he held off Somers' Nick Zachary for a 6-4 win.
LiCastri reached the quarterfinals of the championship round but lost a 6-0 decision to Bacon Academy's Matt McAllister.
Now in the consolation round, he pinned Ridgefield's Matt Philbin in 4:11. It was a close match in the semifinals but he held off Fairfield Warde's Charlie Kane 5-4.
A 9-2 loss to Trumbull's Brandon Licinsky was followed by a one-point decision in the next round. Getting edged 1-0 by Southington's Matt Solomon, LiCastri finished sixth overall.
"Emmett was in arguably the toughest weight class in the state this season," said his father. "There were a number of high caliber wrestlers who did not even qualify to go to the Opens and being a freshman on top of that we knew going in that it was going to be a tough road to place in the tournament."
Ghossaini also had some success early, which included a 13-7 victory over Norwich Free Academy's John Crooks in the preliminary round of the 195-pound class. His closest was in the championship quarterfinals, where he outlasted Windham's Xavier Kernozek 3-2.
Making it to the semifinals, Ghossaini had another close match, losing a 5-3 decision to Southington's Zach Maxwell.
A 3-1 decision over South Windsor's Tom Anderson got Ghossaini to the consolation finals. There he lost a 5-2 decision to Capital Magnet/Capital Prep's Chris Joel Samboy to place fourth overall and qualify for the New England meet on Friday in Providence, R.I.
"Steve showed a lot of heart both last week at the Class L tournament and this week at the Opens," said LiCastri. "I think Steve had well over 20 pins this season so he has not had a lot of matches go the full six minutes and he managed to pull out a couple of big overtime wins against some quality opponents."
"We had a number of coaches come up to us and tell us how great they thought both Steve and Emmett wrestled," he continued. "It was nice to see Immaculate and Barlow get some notice in a sport dominated by much larger schools with teams that have over 40 wrestlers between varsity and JV."

A kitten got an assist from the Broward Sheriff Fire Rescue when it became stuck in a car in Weston Monday.
Fire Rescue workers responded around 5 p.m. to the 1200 block of Fairlake Boulevard when the kitten was reported in the engine compartment of a Mercedes.
The driver said the kitten had been in there for about three hours and had been holed up on the driver's side between the fender and wheel well.
After about 30 minutes of trying to coax the kitten out, firefighters used an extinguisher with a little bit of pressure to try and get the kitten out.
One of the firefighters was able to gently the remove the kitten.

Viber, Nimbuzz and Fring Take on Telecom and Voice Calling
Telecom companies who were once thought of innovators and trend-setters in technology are now being beaten at their own game. New players like Nimbuzz, Viber, Vonage and Blackberry are offering customers services and applications where they can perform voice calls and send messages for free online. This model of business hits right at the bottom line of telecom companies who depend on these services. The hikes in call rates and cutting of discounted usage of services aren't helping the telecom giants either.
Smart phone usage has considerably increased around the world, and more and more Wi-Fi spots are popping up in urban areas. Malls and cinema theatres which depend on customers for their retail sales now offer free Wi-Fi in their areas to lure customers to stay on for a bit longer.
And applications run this online world now. They make life easier, cheaper and fun. And apps providing customers free communication tools are considered essential in any smart phone toolkit.
In India, a telecom law that would makes Voice-over-IP legal will soon become effective, and that would be the decisive blow to the traditional business model. India's telecom minister, Mr. Kapil Sibal, has already told the telcos to change their existing model to one that offers services based on billing data usage.
The bandwidth available nowadays and the comparative affordability of VoIP services account for the rising popularity of these VoIP services.
In addition to newer services like Nimbuzz and Viber, technology incumbents are also acting on this change. BlackBerry has introduced voice chat facilities with its new Messenger 7 enabling users to talk, send messages and pictures all at the same time, provided there is Wi-Fi connectivity.
Facebook has recently started service whereby iPhone users can use Facebook Messenger app to make calls to other iPhone users for free. But this offer is currently only available in the US.
Indian telecoms could look to foreign players like T-Mobile for new business models. T-Mobile has developed an app that lets users call any number in the US for free. The users don't even need to be T-Mobile subscribers; they only need to be on Wi-Fi.
Google offers a far more comprehensive solution in Google Voice, which allows users to make outgoing calls, take incoming calls and send text messages through their apps. But it needs an extra app to ensure incoming and outgoing calls work on the smartphone – on the desktop, calls only work in conjunction with Gmail.
In the meantime, Nimbuzz and Fring are rapidly growing in popularilty amongst the youth, especially in South-East Asian countries like India.
To ensure their telecom companies survive this technological onslaught, some countries have gone so far to make these services illegal. But how long this protection can help the telecom companies remains to be seen. People tend to resort to other measures such as using proxy servers to circumvent such restrictions, which is also not healthy in the long run.

Three months after his older brother Fidel formally selected him as his eventual successor, Raul Castro appears to be assuming a wider range of official duties and playing a more prominent role in the running of the Cuban Government and the Communist Party, Cuban officials and foreign diplomats say.
A military colleague of the younger Mr. Castro was recently put in charge of a major ministry, and other allies have been appointed to the streamlined Communist Party Central Committee and its Politburo.
Those and other recent developments suggest, a diplomat here said, ''that Fidel has finally begun to prepare for the day when he will no longer be on stage.''
Another diplomat said: ''Above all, Fidel wants continuity and an orderly transition. He is certainly not ready to abandon power any time soon, but he wants to be sure the house is in order when that day comes, and he thinks the best way to do that is to gradually expand Raul's responsibilities.''
Though never discussed in Cuba's state-controlled press except to accuse Cuba's enemies of fomenting disinformation, the question of Fidel Castro's health and succession has become a subject of much speculation here.Continue reading the main story
The Cuban leader has appeared both thinner and grayer in public appearances during the last year, including during the recent visit of Pope John Paul II, and his speech is slower.
At 66, Raul Castro is five years younger than Fidel. There is also a third brother, Ramon, the eldest, who, though he won a legislative seat in elections this month, is not a significant factor in party or Government affairs.
Raul Castro has been his brother's most trusted confidant and second in command since the two came to power in 1959; he currently occupies the key posts of Defense Minister and deputy general secretary of the Communist Party. But it was not until the party congress held in October that Fidel Castro formally designated Raul as his successor as Communist Party leader. Fidel Castro is also President of the country and Commander in Chief of the armed forces, and it is assumed that Raul would inherit those positions as well.
''Raul has more youth and more energy than me,'' the Cuban leader said. ''He has more time ahead of him.''
Since the October congress, Raul Castro has taken on a role that is both more visible and more varied.
In November, he embarked on his first publicly acknowledged trip abroad of this decade, making a two-week tour of China to acquaint himself with economic changes there and, with details of the Pope's visit here then being worked out, stopping in Rome on his way back to meet with Vatican officials.
Certain other officials close to Fidel Castro have also seen their roles gradually expand in recent times. The economy czar, Carlos Lage, for instance, now supervises much of the day-to-day administration of government.
But to the United States, any government that Raul Castro might head is merely an extension of the current one-party state. The Helms-Burton Act of 1996, which widened American economic sanctions against Cuba, specifically states that the embargo will be rescinded only when ''a transition government in Cuba is in power,'' one that ''does not include Fidel Castro or Raul Castro.''
But Latin American and European diplomats here say they detect certain subtle differences of approach and attitude between the two brothers. Raul, they maintain, is more pragmatic than Fidel on economic issues, but perhaps even more dogmatic on ideological questions.
At a special party meeting in March 1996, Raul denounced as ''fifth columnists'' a group of reformers working at several party-sponsored research institutes, who were then purged. But he is also said to have pushed for economic reforms in 1993, when the economic crisis that followed the collapse of the Communist bloc and the loss of Soviet subsidies threatened to bring Cuba to its knees.
At the October party congress, the military, which remains the foundation of Raul Castro's power and prestige, was singled out for praise. Then, in late November, the military Chief of Staff, Gen. Ulises Rosales del Toro, was made head of the Ministry of Sugar in what was seen as an effort to increase production after a series of bad harvests in the industry most vital to the Cuban economy.
But Raul Castro has not been immune from implied criticism. In December, Raul Valdes Vivo, the head of the party's school for cadres, published a scathing criticism of suggested economic reforms in the party newspaper Granma, arguing that letting Cubans invest in businesses ''would introduce a social force that sooner or later would serve the counterrevolution.''
Mr. Valdes Vivo described investors as nothing more than ''piranhas,'' and warned that they were ''capable in a minimum time of devouring a horse down to its bones.'' Here in Cuba, one of Fidel Castro's nicknames is El Caballo, which means ''the horse.''Continue reading the main story

A 49-year-old pedestrian died from injuries suffered in a crash Thursday after being struck by a car at the intersection of Charleston Boulevard and Pecos Road, police said.
Investigators said a 2006 blue Ford Mustang was traveling east on Charleston when it struck the man about 12:14 p.m. The Mustang was approaching Pecos Road with a green traffic signal when the man was walking south across Charleston from the northwest corner of the intersection, police said.
The man wasn't in a marked crosswalk and was crossing against a traffic signal, police said. He was taken to University Medical Center and was pronounced dead upon arrival.
The Clark County Coroner's Office will release the man's identity and cause of death after notifying family members.
Police said the driver of the Mustang, identified as 24-year-old Curtis Henderson, remained at the scene after the collision. He wasn't injured. Police had initially reported the accident was a hit-and-run crash, but said in a report this afternoon that the driver stayed at the scene.
This is the 39th fatal traffic collision in Metro's jurisdiction this year. All southbound lanes on Pecos Street were closed while authorities investigated.

September callups are just around the corner, meaning some hotshot prospects will get to strut their stuff for their respective clubs. Names to watch include the Reds' Billy Hamilton, the Tigers' Nick Castellanos, the Astros' Jonathan Singleton and the Mets' Rafael Montero. However, don't put all of your eggs into the prospect basket, as this is a particularly weak class of callups. Xander Bogaerts, Travis d'Arnaud and Kolten Wong have already received promotions. Hamilton and Castellanos will not play much, as their teams are in pennant races. Montero could take Matt Harvey's slot in the rotation, but the Mets may choose to limit his innings. Singleton is the best bet to play extensively during the final month of the season, but has also been scuffling at Triple-A since returning from suspension. In other words, your fantasy teams aren't likely to receive much help from the minors down the stretch in 2013.
Five more minor-league items to take into consideration:
1. Taijuan Walker will make his MLB debut before September is finished. Jameson Taillon and Archie Bradley will not.
2. Three under-the-radar prospects: Andrew Aplin (Houston), Tommy La Stella (Atlanta), Zach Petrick (Cardinals).
3. No. 6 overall pick Colin Moran is batting .474/.533/.658 with two home runs and four RBI over his last 10 games for Low-A Greensboro.
4. Javier Baez (Cubs) will be a better future fantasy option than Francisco Lindor (Indians) due to the former's plus-power.
5. A.J. Cole has officially found his groove; the 21-year-old righty has a 2.58 ERA and 42:8 K:BB ratio through 38.1 innings for Double-A Harrisburg. Just one year ago, he struggled so badly that he was demoted from High-A to Low-A. What a difference a year makes.
Let's look at the rest of the ups and down in this week's edition of the Minor League Barometer.
Tyler Glasnow, P, PIT - Glasnow and Colorado Rockies pitcher Eddie Butler are two of the biggest risers of the year. Glasnow is a tall, thin righty who has fanned 160 batters in just 106.1 innings this season for Low-A West Virginia. Glasnow just turned 20, but that hasn't stopped him from dominating the competition. Opposing batters are hitting a putrid .148 against him en route to a 2.29 ERA. The one concern with Glasnow will be the ability to repeat his delivery and find his release point consistently, due to the fact that he is 6-foot-7. He has walked 57 batters this season, including five in his last start Aug. 22 in which he did not allow a hit in five innings. Did I mention that 13 of the 15 outs recorded were strikeouts? It's clear Glasnow has the stuff (fastball/curveball mostly at this point), and if he can harness his command even a little bit more, it could be lights-out for opposing hitters at the higher levels.
Justin Nicolino, P, MIA - Nicolino was among the prospects sent back to the Fish in the monster offseason trade with the Blue Jays. He hasn't allowed a run over his last 13 innings for Double-A Jacksonville. The 21-year-old lefty has fanned 15 batters over that span, while walking four. Nicolino isn't overpowering, but he knows how to pitch, maintains standout control and has a free and easy delivery. He also has a penchant for keeping the ball down in the zone, as seen by his 1.31 GO:AO ratio between two levels this season. With command of three pitches (fastball/curveball/changeup) and the aforementioned downward movement, Nicolino has the ability to be extremely successful in the big leagues.
Delino DeShields Jr., 2B, HOU - After a slow start, DeShields has turned up the heat at High-A Lancaster. He is slashing .429/.529/.619 with four RBI and five steals over his last 10 games. Overall, the 21-year-old is hitting .319/.406/.463 with four home runs, 51 RBI and 47 steals through 104 games. DeShields will have to prove he can hit away from the friendly confines of the California League, but since he isn't a power hitter, he shouldn't be as affected as some other prospects. His speed will play in any ballpark, and he has also cut down on his strikeouts this season. He remains among the better second base prospects in the game.
Jake Lamb, 3B, AZ - Lamb was a sixth-round pick out of the University of Washington in 2012 and hasn't stopped hitting since entering the minors. The 22-year-old is batting .318/.441/.602 with 13 home runs and 40 RBI through 56 games for High-A Visalia. He has drawn 44 walks over that span. Lamb has been surging of late as well, slashing .395/.480/.71 with three home runs and nine RBI over his last 10 contests. The knock on Lamb thus far during his brief professional career has been his health; he has been on the disabled list on two separate occasions this season, including most recently due to a hamate injury. When he's been on the field, Lamb has shown he can handle the bat. Assuming the injuries won't be a theme, Lamb could be primed for future success for the D-Backs.
Michael Choice, OF, OAK - Call this one a gut feeling; I'm not sold on Choice. His numbers look good for Triple-A Sacramento. The 23-year-old is batting .300/.386/.443 with 14 home runs and 88 RBI through 126 games. Despite the .300 average and 88 RBI, Choice has now shown the power that made him a must-own prospect after the 2011 campaign in the California League. He hit just 10 home runs in 91 games at Double-A last season, and will play his future home games in cavernous O.co Coliseum. Choice has fanned 122 times this season as well and does not bring any speed to the table. In other words, because his power has been underwhelming, he strikes out a lot and will not steal any bases, he does not have the same luster as some other prospects in my view.
Parker Bridwell, P, BAL - Bridwell can look like an absolute stud on some days; on Aug. 16, Bridwell threw eight scoreless innings for Low-A Delmarva. The 6-4 righty allowed just two hits, did not walk a batter and fanned an astounding 14 batters in eight innings. Other times, the wheels completely come off; Bridwell has had three starts the last two months in which he has allowed at least six earned runs. Part of the problem has been Bridwell's control, which can abandon him for stretches. He has walked 55 batters in 132.2 innings, though he does have 138 strikeouts over that span. Nevertheless, due to the blowup starts thrown in here and there, Bridwell's ERA sits at 4.75 for the season. This is also his third try at Low-A. He just turned 21 this month and should move to High-A next season. A ninth-rounder in 2010 out of high school, Bridwell must be more consistent if he is to figure into the O's future plans.
Mark Sappington, P, LAA - The 22-year-old Sappington is further along in his development than Bridwell, but has also struggled with control. Between High-A and Double-A, the 6-5 righty has a 3.31 ERA and 131:79 K:BB ratio through 152.1 innings. Opposing batters are hitting just .216 against Sappington, which has helped to alleviate some of the strain from the additional walks. Sappington is a small-school product out of Division III Rockhurst, but has gained velocity on his fastball since college, making his slider and emerging changeup more effective. In a farm system starved for talent, Sappington could be fast-tracked to the big leagues. That assumes, of course, his walks don't come back to haunt him at the higher levels.
Mauricio Cabrera, P, ATL - Cabrera is a rare find because he has three quality pitches at age 19. His changeup has drawn rave reviews, while his curveball is also a plus-pitch. With a low-90s heater, Cabrera appears to have the goods on first glance. Cabrera keeps the ball down, an extremely promising sign for a young hurler. He has a 1.40 GO:AO ratio at Low-A Rome, having allowed just three home runs this season. However, his inability to locate has caused inconsistency. The 6-2 righty has been very wild this season, issuing 71 free passes in 131.1 innings for Low-A Rome. His ERA sits at 4.18. He was rocked in his last start Saturday for six runs in four innings. Cabrera walked four batters while fanning three. Cabrera has the raw talent to be a future rotation anchor, but needs some seasoning and won't make an impact for some time.
D.J. Peterson, 1B/3B, SEA - Peterson took a baseball to the left side of his jaw Thursday for Low-A Clinton and fractured his left mandible as a result. He has already had surgery, including having his jaw wired shut Friday, and may require another surgery before he can return to the baseball diamond. He'll likely miss the rest of the 2013 season and perhaps the Arizona Fall League as well. Peterson was the No. 12 overall selection in the 2013 draft by the Mariners and had shown off his power stroke before the injury. After a brief stint in the short-season Everett, Peterson slashed .293/.346/.576 with seven home runs and 20 RBI in 26 games for Low-A Clinton.
Carlos Sanchez, 2B, CHW - Not much has gone right for the White Sox this season, and Sanchez has been no exception. In 2012, he hit .323/.378/.403 with one home run, 56 RBI and 26 steals between Double-A and Triple-A. In 2013, he is batting just .245/.298/.302 with 25 RBI and 16 steals through 104 games for Triple-A Charlotte. Perhaps the White Sox pushed the 21-year-old too hard and promoted him too quickly. After all, Sanchez started the 2012 campaign at High-A, and has played in less than 200 games at Low-A or higher. Lack of plate discipline hasn't helped Sanchez's cause, as the middle infielder has drawn just 28 walks while fanning 70 times in 2013. Sanchez looks to need a lot of seasoning before hitting the big leagues.
D.J. Davis, OF, TOR - A 2012 first-round selection, Davis has been brought along slowly for the Jays. He's hitting .246/.323/.440 through 53 games in the Appalachian League. The 19-year-old has six home runs, 24 RBI and 10 steals over that span. Davis has been struggling lately, batting just .211/.279/.421 with 13 strikeouts over his last 10 games. In fact, he has been punched out 69 times. However, it's not that Davis has been that bad, but that other prospects of similar age from the first round of the 2012 campaign have already reached higher levels. This includes scintillating performances by fellow teenagers Byron Buxton, Carlos Correa and Addison Russell. Davis has plenty of time to mature, but it's clear he's going to need more seasoning than some of his fellow draftees from last year's class.
Jace Peterson, SS, SD - Just a 2013 downgrade for Peterson, who will miss the rest of this season due to a foot injury. The 23-year-old shortstop impressed with a slash line of .303/.382/.454 with seven home runs, 66 RBI and 42 steals in 113 games for High-A Lake Elsinore. He should be good to go for the 2014 campaign, which will likely start at Double-A. However, the specific ailment is an arch injury, which could bear watching, since Peterson relies so much on his speed. He will also turn 24 in May 2014, so Double-A will be crucial in determining his future potential. It will be a make-or-break season for Peterson.

I've been swaying between netbeans and phpstorm, and because netbeans is free it won my vote.
However, do today, I setup a new project based on an existing project I was working on. I lost my internet connection and when it came back up Netbeans decided it wanted to remove syncronise! which has caused thousands on files on the server to be changes and now the site doesn't work.
Why on earth did it want to remote sync?
That's put me off using netbeans now incase this happens again on a LIVE site and not a development site I was luckily working on today.
BTW internet connection can _never_ be reliable. IMHO something similar can easily happen with any other (S)FTP client. The only reliable way to deploy files to any server is using a version control system.

Data from NASA's GRACE satellite (Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment) has been used to show that the East Antarctic ice sheet is losing mass. GRACE has previously shown that the smaller West Antarctic and Greenland ice sheets are losing mass, but it was thought the East Antarctic was stable.
The data suggests there was no net loss between 2002 and 2006, but has been losing mass over the last three years. Whilst the loss is small compared to the West Antarctic Ice Sheet, it is a surprising find. More reporting is available here or best read the paper published in Nature Geoscience (Accelerated Antarctic ice loss from satellite gravity measurements, Chen J.L. et al, Nature Geoscience, 2009).

This song will resonate with girlfriends (and boyfriends) of gamers everywhere. Especially those whoa re sick of going to bed alone because their partner is too busy cosying up with his or her beloved games console.
It starts out sounding like a traditional love song, with the guys singing promises of romance to their other halves. But wait, there's an ulterior motive.
The song then devolves into the guys making excuses for their need to stay downstairs playing on the Xbox for a little longer. Along with an invitation to join in because games are good for you.
This works because it's true. I'm a gamer, so I should know.

Rejoice, fans of mouthy, masked, horribly disfigured mercenaries! The most famous, lovable killer in all of the Marvel Universe is getting his own honest to goodness solo Deadpool game. It promises to star just Deadpool killing a whole lotta people. Hey, just because we will
probably never get have to wait for that "Deadpool" movie for a few more years still, it doesn't mean we have to wait to be the Merc with a Mouth.
I don't know what kind of game this will be — it looks third-person, but then there are some FPS components, if that scene with the mini-gun is any indication — but if it's even half as fun as this trailer, than fans of the character will probably be pleased. And if not? Well, as with Wolverine, I'm guessing Deadpool would tell them to go suck it.
No word on a release date yet (heck, you can't even pre-order it as of now, sorry kids), but you can follow the Merc with a Mouth's gaming antics at his official site.

I love having fun putting together outfits especially creating a kind of irony together, mixing tomboy and girly together, with heels and lace with denim vest and obey hat — it just adds something intriguing to an outfit.
With the arm candy, decided to keep it all neutral — this vintage leather cuff from The Brooklyn Bakery is so pretty esp with the gold coin button detail. The Pink & Pepper heels are one of my faves bc I've always wanted to try out the tribal print trend, and why not now with heels? Lastly, wanted to layer my levis vest over this Black Sheep Clothing lace dress, which is gorgeous with the scallop hem and intricate crochet design.
Hope you loves had a great week, TGIF tomorrow! :) Keep inspiring Beautifuls.

I really like TV-B-Gone by Mitch Altman. The idea to have an universal remote to switch off any TV set is just marvellous! But for some real sneaky operation I wanted a much smaller version which perfectly fits into my pocket. So how about a small experiment how small you can go (and still solder by hand). So here it is: (most probably) the world smallest implementation of TV-B-Gone:
The µTVBG is based on the ATTINY85 implementation by Lady Ada. I just downloaded the schematics and replaced some parts, reduced the number of IR diodes and did a new board layout. Nothing special. Even the firmware works unchanged.The whole board measures a mere 1.4 cm to 2.5 cm – small enough to fit in in every pocket.
All parts are SMT 0603 parts, the transistors are the good old BC850C and as IR diodes I used the Osram SFH 4600 (I think I got quite a soft spot for all those Osram LED stuff, more by accident I use it more or less exclusively – they have great parts, are at least designed by German engineers). The SF 4600 deliver 30 mW of power at 940nm wave length, they look good and can be used flat or as side looker (as I have done here). Currently they are being replaced by the SFH 4641. The switch is a C & K Components KR221G, which is good quality and gives quite an good tactile feeling.
As you can see in the above picture I was able to completely mess up the SFH 4600 footprint – twice as wide as it should be. But with a piece of old wire it was no problem to fix it. You can see, you can even air wire stuff in SMT.
The board is powered by a CR1220 lithium battery, placed on the bottom of the board.
Why an SMT TV-B-Gone clone?
First of all I wanted a real small version – and I achieved that. Second I wanted to test if hand soldering of 0603 is feasible – which it is. 0805 is much easier, but consumes far more board space.
But the main reason is that I want to encourage everybody to try some SMT work. You can do a lot of cool stuff with it, cramp a lot of functionality in a very small board space. And you get real cool components for SMT. Most modern chips are developed as SMT-version only and if you stick to through-the-hole stuff you will never be able to use them (OK, you can get your breakout board at SparkFun). If you managed to do some SMT you are able to pick from thousands of alternatives from major vendors. And the hardest thing about SMT is to get over the fear that it is too small, which it is not – in most cases. So go for it!

Fewer things are more annoying than an artist's INSANELY RIDICULOUS photo shoot demands!!
If you're ever on set with Justin Bieber, he has a few rules for you.
1. You cannot look him directly in the eye.
WTF?!?!?!? Not sure about Canada, but here in the USA we value eye contact, JB.
2. You are FORBIDDEN from listening to Selena Gomez music (someone needs to get the **** over it already).
Can someone send this kid some humble cake, or pie, or ice cream?!?! Anything will do so long as it brings him back down to earth!
If you never have to work a Justin Bieber photo shoot, thank the universe!
Also, we're sure that someone will "deny" these demands by tomorrow at the latest.
