Nothing about this rote exercise feels remotely fresh. It's a re-tread of the 2009 original, sans the inspired lunacy.
Read Full Review
Ditching the hangovers, the backward structure, the fleshed-out characters and any sense of debauchery or fun, this installment instead just thrusts its long-suffering protagonists into a rote chase narrative, periodically pausing to trot out fan favorites for a curtain call.
With The Hangover Part III, director Todd Phillips continues to occupy an apt (and very lucrative) niche, casting rich, entitled fraternity dicks as underdog heroes beset by shrewish women, foreigners with funny accents, and even animals—often cute animals with big, dewy eyes.
Young viewers looking for unbridled raunch will be sadly disappointed, and so will other moviegoers expecting more than a few wan chuckles. This picture is like a brightly colored balloon with all the comic air seeping out.
Director Todd Phillips has delivered a film so different from the first two, one could even ask if this is even supposed to be a comedy. I'm not saying it's an unfunny comedy wannabe; I'm saying it plays more like a straightforward, real-world thriller with a few laughs than a hard-R slapstick farce.
You should stick around for the end credits because there's a Helms sight gag that's absolutely priceless. The movie could've used more laughs like that one.

Wolf Pack "threequel" has tons of danger, crude content.
What Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that while The Hangover Part III deviates from the structure of the first two installments, it doesn't skimp at all on the over-the-top, R-rated raunch that defines the franchise. After a harrowing kidnapping, Phil (Bradley Cooper), Stu (Ed Helms), and Alan (Zach Galifianakis) stumble into all manner of mishaps trying to rescue their pal, Doug (Justin Bartha). Expect tons of strong language ("f--k," "s--t," and more), violence (guns, knives, animal cruelty), danger, alcohol and drug use, and sexual content (including scenes that show bare breasts and male genitals). While perhaps not quite as over the top as the last installment, this is still iffy for anyone except the most mature teens and adults.
Messages: Friendship is the franchise's underlying theme, but there's a conflict between the message to be true to your friends (especially when they're in trouble and need help) and the fact that loyalty leads people into dangerous situations.
Role models: Although they're always motivated by loyalty to their friend, the three main characters make very poor choices that lead them into dangerous -- sometimes criminal -- activities, including lying, breaking into homes, stealing, attempted kidnapping, and more.
Violence: Violent content includes a harrowing carjacking/kidnapping and several scenes in which criminals brandish handguns. Gangsters callously shoot each other and attack people with knives. Several men attempt to drug and abduct another man. Punching, falling off buildings, etc. Several scenes show people being cruel to animals, including a giraffe that meets a very unpleasant (and undeserved) end.
Sex: Many sexual references/suggestions. A few scenes feature brief glimpses of women in their underwear/possibly topless. Characters imitate masturbation/ejaculation. Sex talk/references. A flirtatious/sexual scene involving a lollipop. One character is a retired stripper. One unusual scene includes bare breasts and a naked man running around, his penis fully exposed.
Language: Extensive swearing in almost every scene, mostly permutations of "s--t" and "f--k." Also "bitch," "ass," "d--k," "a--hole," "damn," "hell," "goddamn," "oh my God," and more.
Consumerism: Several well-known car brands are visible, including Mercedes-Benz, Toyota, and Maybach. A character prefers Tab sodas, and several of the guys like Dos Equis beer. Many famous Las Vegas hotels are shown prominently as the characters drive through the town, and an important scene is staged at Caesar's Palace.
Drinking, drugs and smoking: Characters drink beer and wine in bars and at meals in several scenes. Some people also smoke cigarettes; one smokes a cigar. While no drug use is shown, several sequences have strong drug references (especially to cocaine) -- and the whole premise of the Hangover franchise is people getting drugged and forgetting about their actions.

Congratulations to Rebecca Knodt, who officially took over last Tuesday as executive director of the Emergency Food Bank and Family Services of San Joaquin.
Congratulations to Rebecca Knodt, who officially took over last Tuesday as executive director of the Emergency Food Bank and Family Services of San Joaquin.
Knodt, 54, a native of Lima, Peru, and 25-year Stockton resident, replaces Tim Viall, who headed the Food Bank for nine years until his retirement.
Knodt at one point worked with Su Salud, the nonprofit organization that brought health care to thousands of uninsured county residents.
In recent years, she's worked in the corporate world, but she said she relishes her return to working with nonprofits.
And work it will be. The Food Bank serves an average of 1,000 families a day and collects and distributes close to 4 million pounds of food annually from its main Stockton location and eight community pantries countywide.
And while we're at it, congratulations to Mark Martinez, long-time chief executive of the San Joaquin County Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, who on Oct. 22 will become chief executive of the statewide California Hispanic Chambers of Commerce.
Martinez is credited with raising the stature and the activity level of the local chamber to include such things as an annual college financial workshop that attracts thousands of students and their parents, and an annual business forecast conference.
In addition to the local chamber losing Martinez, he also will step down as a director of Stockton's anti-crime effort, the Marshall Plan.
James Jimenez, a senior vice president at Community Bank of San Joaquin and chairman of the local Hispanic chamber, will assume Martinez's chamber duties on an interim basis. Martinez said he'd like to see Jimenez also take his slot on the Marshall Plan effort.
THUMBS UP and DOWN
Dr. Christopher Arismendi, Dameron Hospital's CEO for 12 years, is stepping aside at the request of the hospital board.
Officials are circumspect about the move, but it seems to be tied to ongoing talks of some sort of partnership between the local private hospital and the giant public University of California, Davis, Medical Center in Sacramento. Those talks have been going on at least since the middle of 2011. Both sides characterize what's being sought is a partnership, not a takeover.
The departure of Arismendi, who will return to his surgical practice, could signal an agreement is near.
The long-anticipated Marine Highway, bringing container operations to the Port of Stockton for the first time, will be officially dedicated Thursday.
U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood is expected to attend the dedication. About $30 million in 2009 American Recovery and Reinvestment Act money was used to buy two giant cranes, extend rail lines, buy two cargo barges and a cargo yard.
This allows huge cargo containers to be unloaded from oceangoing ships at the Port of Oakland, placed on barges to the trip to Stockton where they can then be loaded on trucks for distribution. Cargo goods can move the opposite direction, too.
This takes thousands of trucks off the Bay Area and cross-Altamont Pass highways and potentially creates thousands of jobs in San Joaquin County.
And it comes at just the right moment. Port of Stockton officials reported last week that a record $35.1 million in port revenue for 2011-12 fiscal year, a 34 percent increase from the previous year.
Port activity is considered an economic barometer, and if that's true, things are looking up.

Horoscopes for week of June 5, 2008
"Woodsman Claims: 'Lady Bigfoot Kept Me as Her Love Slave!'" That was the headline of a report in the Weekly World News. In addition to providing fascinating details about the man's captivity, the article also had a helpful section on the jobs most likely to get someone kidnapped by a female sasquatch. They included lumberjack, surveyor, landscape artist, and ornithologist. In my astrological opinion, that list should be amended, at least for the next few weeks, to note that Taurus lumberjacks, surveyors, landscape artists, and ornithologists are especially susceptible. Why do I say that? Because according to my projections, many of you Tauruses will be swept up in or profoundly influenced by powerful feminine energy.
"The truth is always more interesting that your preconception of what it might be," says author Steven Levy. Journalists "should not have the stories written out in their heads before they report them. Preconceptions can blind you to the full, rich human reality that awaits you when you actually listen to your subjects and approach the material with an open mind." I think that's an excellent strategy to use even if you're not a journalist -- and especially for you right now, while you're in a phase when the healing shock of the new is available everywhere you go.
Whatever you do, Cancerian, DON'T open the door of that closet that hasn't been opened in years. DON'T poke your nose into the funny business that has been going on behind the scenes. DON'T peek inside Pandora's other box, or pick the fruit of temptation off the tree of knowledge, or rush in, like a trusting fool, where angels fear to tread. DON'T do any of these controversial, forbidden things, my dear Crab -- unless you want to risk embarking on some enigmatic, elemental, enlightening adventures.
I happen to like The Bees Made Honey in the Lion's Skull, a CD by sludge rockers Earth. But I'm not urging you to get a copy of it so much as I'm suggesting that you carry out a metaphorical equivalent of what the album's title describes. This is a perfect time for you to create something sweet in a situation that once scared the sleep out of you.
In the ancient text known as the Sutra of Forty-two Chapters, the Buddha is quoted as saying, "My doctrine is to think the thought that is unthinkable, to practice the deed that is unperformable, to speak the speech that is inexpressible, and to be trained in the discipline that is beyond discipline." Those happen to be your tough assignments in the coming week, Virgo. You will actually have a good chance at succeeding if you refuse to be excessively sober and serious in your approach. The more fun you have and the more playful your style is, the greater the likelihood is that you will pull off subtle yet spectacular feats that may seem impossible to more no-nonsense people.
"Dear Dr. Brezsny: I love my weekly dose of astrological wit, but I've got to say that if I had all the fun and revelry you predict, I wouldn't be a morose meandering malcontent, as I am now. And if I had even half of the flirting and romance that your prophecies promise, I certainly wouldn't be home on Saturday nights playing World of Warcraft. I must conclude that you're living in a different dimension than I am. So how do I get over there to where you are? - Up-in-the-Air Libra." Dear Up-in-the-Air: Funny you should mention this. Due to a rare crack in the space-time continuum, there's currently a wormhole between my dimension and the dimension where up-in-the-air Libras live. Come on over! You'll know you're near the portal when you feel an urge to exuberantly leap up off your feet for no reason.
Please join me in a boycott of horoscope columns and astrology books that insinuate all Scorpios are cruel, perverted, power-mad jealousy freaks. Let's refuse to read those propagandists until they cease and desist from brainwashing the masses into directing bigotry toward your tribe. It's true that there are some less-evolved Scorpios who speed up their cars to run over small animals and treat romance as a game in which there can be only one winner. But do we demonize all scientists simply because a few mad physicists created weapons of mass destruction? Of course not. I hereby proclaim June to be Scorpio Pride Month -- a time to celebrate your winning qualities, especially your unparalleled skill at helping to activate the dormant potentials of people you care about. Promise me you'll do that even more intensely than usual.
"Take time to stop and smell the flowers," says an old homily. Albert Hoffman, the Swiss scientist who discovered LSD and lived to age 102, had a different approach. "Take the time to stop and be the flowers," he said. That's my advice to you, Sagittarius. Don't just set aside a few stolen moments to sniff the snapdragons, taste the rain, chase the wind, watch the hummingbirds, and listen to a friend. Use your imagination to actually BE the snapdragons and rain and wind and hummingbirds and friend. It's time to not just behold the Other, but to become the Other.
What Martin Luther King Jr. said about epic struggles in the political arena is also apt for you in your private life, especially now: "Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that." I recommend that you translate his advice into the intimate details of your relationships. If you really do that with the irresistible force of your burning conviction, you will prove another one of King's excellent thoughts: "Unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word in reality."
Scientists used to believe that a butterfly has no recollection of its previous life as a caterpillar. The pupa breaks down into primal goo during its metamorphosis, they said, erasing all trace of its caterpillar brain. But new research suggests that there is in fact continuity. At least some of what the caterpillar learned remains available to the butterfly. As you carry out your own personal mutation in the coming months, Aquarius, I believe you will experience a similar process, thus ensuring that the New You has most of the wisdom that the Old You possessed.
It's Blame All Your Problems on God Week. You have license to shun responsibility for the pain you feel and the messes you've made, and instead ascribe it all to the Divine Mischief Maker. The secret of achieving success in this enterprise is to act as if your dilemmas really do have nothing to do with anything you've done, but have been entirely caused by God's mistakes, his intentional cruelty, or his wicked sense of humor. By the way, Accept Total Responsibility for Your Problems Week is coming up next, and to observe that holiday correctly you will have to be thoroughly sincere about this week's. P.S. It's crucial that you really do blame everything on God, and not on actual human beings. P.P.S. If you're an atheist, it's Blame All Your Problems on Your Parents Week.

Ok, so 500 of the ESB 400% Boba Fetts will be sold at a toy show of some kind on August 21-22 (I'm having a hell of a time deciphering that), then the remaining 1505 will be sold to Collector Club members. These last 1505 pieces are planned to ship October 2005.Did I miss anything important?
So it looks like 500 will be available at Wonder Festival [Summer] and the remaining 1505 to the Club? First come first serve..?
In case anyone is interested...Kubricks/Be@rbricks 400% Bounty Hunter Boba Fett IN STOCK!In-stock at ToyTokyo for $250.00 plus shipping! Not too bad a price and it's already in the USA so shipping shouldn't be too bad. I really considered it, but I just don't have an extra $300 to drop right now.
I pulled the trigger, shipping was only $8.79 for a grand total of $258.79 shipped. I called Toy Tokyo as I thought there was a 10% coupon, no luck. The individual in the internet department advised me that there are no coupons and he would have to check and see if there are any more of the 300% Fetts in as Toy Tokyo only got a few . That being the case, I guess it's a bit of a gamble if my order will be filled. We shall see.Peace,DBK
"Sorry for being out of the loop, but 500 of the 1505 of what?" Thats the ESB boba I think. Im lucky enough to be going to the wonder festival, and if I get there early enough I'll be picking myself up one. sounds like it may be only one per customer though, so cant take orders.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - First lady Michelle Obama will attend the funeral in Chicago on Saturday of a 15-year-old girl who was shot to death eight days after performing with her high school band at President Barack Obama's inauguration.
Hadiya Pendleton, a majorette in her school band, was fatally shot on January 29 as she and her friends were shielding themselves from rain under a canopy in a Chicago park. Chicago has been plagued by gun violence and her killing has become a rallying cry for those calling for stronger gun controls.
Police have called it a case of mistaken identity and are offering a $40,000 reward for information leading to her killer.
A White House official said the first lady would be accompanied at the funeral service by senior White House adviser Valerie Jarrett and Education Secretary Arne Duncan.
Obama is not expected to speak at the service. Her husband has proposed a series of recommendations aimed at tightening gun regulations after the December shootings of 20 students and six educators at an elementary school in Newtown, Connecticut.

Some things work better together. That's why it makes sense to use Canon genuine inks and photo papers, designed in harmony with PIXMA printers, to deliver the best possible results. For beautiful, long lasting print quality, trust Canon engineered inks.
Genuine Canon inks bring out the best in your Canon printer, so you are always assured of exceptional results. Canon inks will keep your Canon printer going at peak performance.
The genuine Canon ink formula lets you achieve incredibly bright and accurate colours that make photographs truly memorable. Skin tones look very natural while bright colours are vivid yet realistic. The pigment black ink used for printing documents produces crisp, clear prints of small letters and sharp lines.
Original Canon inks and photo papers are made for each other. As a result you can produce superb quality prints at home that are resistant to fading long after printing. Printing with our photo printers using genuine ChromLife100, ChromaLife100+ or LUCIA inks on Canon photo papers protects your images for a lifetime.
Canon's unique FINE print head technology used in every PIXMA printer delivers outstanding image quality and high-speed document printing. With ink nozzles opening diameters as small as small as 0.009mm it is important to use inks formulated specifically to work with the precise FINE print heads. Genuine inks maintain print quality and prolong life of your printer.
Canon genuine ink cartridges come in two types of the packaging: paper or plastic. Below you will find information on how to identify them.
To help you recognize a genuine Canon ink a unique Canon hologram is included on the cardboard type packaging of all genuine ink cartridges. The holograms have unique features which change its appearance depending on a viewing angle. Words 'Canon' and 'Genuine' appear when viewed from certain angles and graphics change from straight lines to wavy design.
The blister (thermoformed plastic) type of packaging provides retail stores with optimal product protection and efficient shelf presentation. The unique and exclusive to Canon shape of the blister ink packaging combined with its high quality finish (printing and sealing) ensure you can easily recognise a genuine product. Our blister ink packaging is made of minimum 70% recycled materials.
Find information on the type of ink systems and the technologies behind the PIXMA inks. Understand how the number of pages you can print for each ink is being calculated and how much you can save with XL inks.
FINE Cartridge system gives you maximum convenience with only two cartridges to replace. The colour cartridge contains Cyan, Magenta and Yellow inks for colour printing while the black cartridge contains pigment black ink for text printing. This system is typically used in the entry level printers.
Single ink system optimises ink efficiency as each of the ink colours has its own individually replaceable tank - so you only replace individual colours as they run out. With 5 or more ink colours the single ink systems provide high-quality printing and are used in mid-range and high-end printers.
Save money on genuine Canon ink with the optional high yield XL cartridges which allow you to print more for less. Save with Twin Packs and Multipacks - these convenient bundles offer great value.
Whether you are buying a replacement ink cartridge or a brand-new printer, the number of pages you can print from a single ink cartridge – also known as the 'ink yield' – is an important consideration.
Find the right cartridge or ink tank and paper for your PIXMA printer with the consumables finder. Create high quality long lasting photos or professional looking documents with genuine Canon consumables.

When 50-year-old Alexander Brum from Moscow needed a total hip replacement for severe arthritis, he turned to his Russian friend Alexei Yagudin for advice. Yagudin, one of the most popular Olympic gold-medal figure skaters of all time, did not hesitate. He told him about Dr. Geoffrey Westrich at Hospital for Special Surgery. Yagudin had surgery with Dr. Westrich several years ago and did quite well.
Mr. Brum was looking for the best doctor, hospital, and rehabilitation program he could find, so he made the long trip to the U.S. for an initial consultation with Dr. Westrich in February. The Russian businessman was impressed with the doctor and came back in October for hip replacement surgery. He brought six family members and friends, some of whom speak fluent English. They stayed across the street from HSS at the hospital's Belaire Guest Facility, a convenient and comfortable location catering to patients who come from out of town.
Mr. Brum says his decision to come to HSS "was a wise choice." He is very pleased with the care he received from Dr. Westrich and with his rehabilitation following surgery. Although there are excellent surgeons in Russia, the post-surgical care and physical therapy are not on the same level, according to Mr. Brum. After joint replacement in Russia, patients spend most of the next two weeks in bed. At HSS, patients are generally out of bed and walking the day after total hip replacement. Recovery would take much longer in Russia.
Mr. Brum is so enthusiastic about his rehabilitation at HSS, he decided to go five days a week. "He is very motivated, he works very hard, and has done very well," says Charles Fisher, PT, MPT, the physical therapist working with Mr. Brum at the Hospital's Joint Mobility Center, which is part of the Rehabilitation Department. The Center specializes in rehabilitation following joint replacement.
"Mr. Brum enjoys coming here, and although he doesn't speak English, he often says 'super' and gives me a thumbs-up," Charles adds. Communication is never a problem, because an interpreter is always present at the physical therapy sessions.
Rehabilitation is critical after joint replacement. Mr. Brum begins his session with a warm-up on the bicycle and then does supervised strengthening, stretching, and balance exercises. "Physical therapy teaches people the basics of what they can and cannot do after surgery. It gives them exercises to help them get as strong as possible, as quickly as possible, so people can return to their everyday lives, free of pain," Charles explains.
After years of suffering with severe arthritis, Mr. Brum is now pain-free and looking forward to getting back to normal activities. He says the trip to HSS for surgery was well worth it.

Pink: Nearly Naked Grammys Performance!
Pink is nearly naked while performing "Glitter in the Air" at the 2010 Grammy Awards held at the Staples Center on Sunday (January 31) in Los Angeles.
The 30-year-old singer performed while suspended and spinning in the air.
Pink shocked audience members by only wearing white straps over a flesh-colored body suit. Thank goodness for those carefully placed sequins!
10+ pictures inside of Pink's nearly naked Grammys performance…

As a transplanted Oregonian, I had no idea how much I would love football in Baltimore. But there's one thing I've come to love even more: The Sun's coverage of the Ravens vs. the Broncos ("Tucker caps comeback with 47-yard field goal in overtime, sending team to AFC title game for second year in a row," Jan. 13).
What a beautiful job — articulate, in depth, insightful. There are no words for that great game. "Thriller" was the headline.
One viewer caught afterward said it was "the best game ever." That was close. TV critic David Zurawik's description of the televising was even closer: "Exhilarating and utterly exhausting."
But the English language fails us. Still, the people at The Sun tried as hard to describe that game as the players on the field did to win it. Winners all!

Kelley, W. P. (Walter Pearson) (1878-) | Purdue University Libraries, Archives and Special Collections
Professor Kelley was born in Franklin, Kentucky. He received his early education in Kentucky and obtained the B.S. degree at the University of Kentucky in 1904. He was assistant chemist in the Purdue Agricultural Experiment Station from 1905 to 1908 and earned his M.S. degree from Purdue University in 1907. In 1908 he was appointed chemist in the Hawaii Agricultural Experiment Station, where he remained until 1914. He was awarded the Ph.D. by the University of California, Berkeley, in 1912 and returned to California in 1914 to become professor of soil chemistry. He retired in 1948 and, as professor emeritus, was active until his death. He was consultant to the Gulf Research and Development Company from 1948 to 1955 and to the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation from 1948 to 1958.
Before his retirement Professor Kelley's writings consisted of 88 scientific papers and an American Chemical Society Monograph, Cation Exchange in Soils (1948). A second ACS monograph. Alkali Soils, their Formation, Properties and Reclamation in 1951. This treatise and seven scientific papers were written during his retirement.
Three major studies dominated Professor Kelley's scientific interests between 1908 and 1918: the function and distribution of manganese in plants and soils (particularly in pineapple growth), the soils and crops of Hawaii and the biological transformation of nitrogenous substances in soils. In California his interests soon turned to citrus nutrition, the effect of salts upon citrus trees, and the entire problem of saline soils. His investigation on the basic chemistry and management of alkali soils and the composition of irrigation water, and their effect upon land reclamation and permanent agriculture, the role of cation exchange in soils, and the substances involved in the exchange phenomenon occupied most of Professor Kelley's attention for the last 45 years of his life. He was a recognized authority on these subjects and his research contributed greatly to the understanding of soil chemistry and irrigation agriculture.
Professor Kelley was commissioned in 1930 by the American Society of Agronomy and the University of California to report on nitrogen fertilizer research in Europe. He was official delegate of the United States Government and of his University to the Third (Oxford, 1935) Congress, International Society of Soil Science. He was president of the Western Society of Soil Science in 1923 and the American Society of Agronomy in 1930; chairman, Alkali Soils Sub-commission International Society of Soil Science, 1927-1939; honorary president of the International Society of Soil Science, 1930. In addition to the American Society of Agronomy, of which he was a fellow, and the Soil Science Society of America he was a member of many other scientific societies. He received several outstanding honors for his work including election to the National Academy of Sciences in 1942, the honorary LL.D., University of California, 1930 and the honorary D.Sc, University of Kentucky, 1958. In 1950 he was elected an honorary life member of the Florida Soil Science Society.
Walter Pearson Kelley died in Berkeley, California on May 19, 1965, at the age of 87.

Australian Government Clarifies Ebike Import Laws
Posted: Thu May 31, 2012 2:26 pm
The Hon Catherine King MP, Parliamentary Secretary for Infrastructure and Transport, has announced an amendment to the definition of a power-assisted pedal cycle. Power-assisted bicycles with electric motors up to 250watts and a maximum speed of 25km/h that are compliant with European Standard (EN 15194) can now be imported into Australia.
Bicycle Industries Australia which represents many of the Australian importers welcomed this announcement that will provide consumers with a new generation of well priced and high quality power-assisted bicycles. The changes are expected to provide the opportunity for a people who have previously been unable or unwilling to ride a bicycle to get on and enjoy the benefits…

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Gov. John Kitzhaber has provided the required five-day notice that he might veto a bill that loosens a ban on the use of Native American mascots by Oregon schools.
The Board of Education voted last year to cut state funding to schools that do not retire such mascots by July 2017.
The Legislature responded by voting to allow schools with nicknames such as the Indians to keep their names and mascots if they get permission from the nearest tribe.
The governor says that's too broad. He prefers an approach in which schools could use the specific name of a tribe with permission, such as the Florida State Seminoles.
The bill's sponsor, state Sen. Jeff Kruse, says he doesn't think there will be enough votes to override a veto.

Barnes & Noble Claims That Microsoft Patent Shakedown Over Android Is An Antitrust Violation
from the sounds-about-right dept
Instead of focusing on innovation and the development of new products for consumers, Microsoft has decided to invest its efforts into driving open source developers from the mobile operation systems market. Through the use of offensive licensing agreements and the demand for unreasonable licensing fees, Microsoft is hindering creativity in the mobile operation systems market.The complaint also notes some odd behaviors on Microsoft's part, such as refusing to explain what patents it was threatening B&N over, unless B&N agreed to sign a non-disclosure agreement.
Microsoft specifically alleged that Barnes & Noble's Nook was infringing six patents purportedly held by Microsoft. When Barnes & Noble asked Microsoft for more detailed information related to these patents, Microsoft refused, claiming that the information was confidential and could not be shared unless Barnes & Noble first executed a non-disclosure agreement ("NDA"). Because both the patents and Barnes & Noble's Nook product are public -- meaning there was no need for an NDA -- Barnes & Noble refused to sign.The company continued negotiating with Microsoft over what seemed like a pretty bizarre discussion concerning whether B&N had to sign an NDA just to find out what patents Microsoft wanted the company to license. Because B&N did eventually sign a limited NDA, it's asking the DOJ to step in and subpoena the details it can't reveal. Still, B&N claims that Microsoft's patents would severely limit its ability to innovate:
This proposed licensing agreement covered Barnes & Noble's use of Android on its existing eReader devices but is structured in such a way to presume that Microsoft's portfolio of patents dominate, and thereby control, the entire Android operation system and any devices that use Android. Indeed, the proposed license would have severely limited and, in some cases, entirely eliminated Barnes & Noble's ability to upgrade or improve the Nook or the Nook Color, even though Microsoft's asserted patents have nothing to do with improvements.Unfortunately, I just don't see the Justice Department gearing up for this, but that's really unfortunate. It should be watching out for abuses of patent law that appear to impact wider innovation. Instead, it's running around chasing companies based on size, not actual impact.

The stock index futures dipped slightly on Friday as investors remained cautious ahead of a key monthly jobs report which was expected to have been impacted by Sandy, a massive storm that swept through the U.S. Northeast.
U.S. non-farm employment, due at 8:30 a.m. ET (1330 GMT), is forecast to have risen by 93,000 jobs in November after gaining 171,000 in October, according to a Reuters survey. The unemployment rate is seen holding steady at 7.9 percent.

Superstorm Sandy, which caused widespread damage and power outages, likely put a dent in U.S. jobs growth in November, temporarily interrupting a recently established trend of modestly rising payrolls.
Also to be released Friday is the Thomson Reuters/University of Michigan's consumer sentiment index, at 9:55 a.m. ET (1455 GMT). Economists surveyed by Reuters expect a preliminary December reading of 82.4 from 82.7 a month earlier.
S&P 500 futures fell 2.2 points and were below in terms of fair value, a formula that evaluates pricing by taking into account interest rates, dividends and time to expiration on the contract. Dow Jones industrial average futures fell 10 points, and Nasdaq 100 futures dropped 2.50 points.
European shares fell Friday after Germany's central bank slashed its growth forecasts, and as investors booked profits on concerns U.S. jobs data may disappoint.
The Bundesbank cut its growth outlook for Germany, the euro zone's largest economy, on Friday, less than 24 hours after the European Central Bank slashed its own forecasts for the bloc, darkening the prospects for European corporate profits next year.
Amarin Corporation shares fell 18.5 percent to $9.74 in premarket trading after the bio-pharmaceutical company raised $100 million in financing to help it launch its heart drug Vascepa but disappointed investors who had hoped for a sale or partnership.
Netflix Inc will be in focus. The company said Thursday securities regulators warned they may bring civil action against the firm and its chief executive for violating public disclosure rules with a Facebook post. The case raises questions about how public companies communicate on social media.
Gun marker Smith & Wesson posted revenue that beat Wall Street estimates on continued demand for its pistols and sporting rifles. The company also raised its full-year profit outlook.

Welcome to the Virus Encyclopedia of Panda Security.
Windows 2003/XP/2000/NT/ME/98/95
Hupigon.ABM is a backdoor that allows hackers to gain remote access to the affected computer in order to carry out actions that compromise user confidentiality and impede the tasks performed on the computer.
It captures certain information entered or saved by the user, with the corresponding threat to privacy:
keystrokes, in order to obtain information for accessing online banking services, passwords and other confidential information.
It sends the gathered information to a remote user by any available means: email, FTP, etc.
It reduces the security level of the computer:
it notifies the attacker that the computer has been compromised and is ready to be used maliciously; it awaits remote-control orders received through
other channels.
Hupigon.ABM accesses several websites to download files, which it then runs. These can be any type of file, although they are normally malware.
It uses stealth techniques to avoid being detected by the user:
Hupigon.ABM does not spread automatically using its own means. It needs an attacking user's intervention in order to reach the affected computer. The means of transmission used include, among others, floppy disks, CD-ROMs, email messages with attached files, Internet downloads, FTP, IRC channels, peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing networks, etc.
Hupigon.ABM is easy to recognize, as it shows the following symptoms:

Losing subscription when a new long poll is creatednva Jun 16, 2012 12:22 PM
I'm using Errai 2.0.1-SNAPSHOT (as in git on 2012-06-16) and jetty (GWT development mode), and configured the JettyContinuationsServlet and the AsyncDispatcher. Have observed the following behaviour:
1. On the server side a process is constantly broadcasting messages on the bus, approximately 10 msg/sec. The message now is a single String of varying length, up to about 128 characters max:
.with("MyPart", buff)
.errorsHandledBy(new ErrorCallback() {
public boolean error(Message message, Throwable throwable) {
log.debug("Error marshalling/sending message: " + buff + ": " + throwable.getMessage(), throwable);
return true;
2. On the client side I have a singleton module that subscribes to the same subject when the client starts up:
ErraiBus.get().subscribe("MySubject", new MessageCallback() {
public void callback(Message message) {
String buff = message.get(String.class, "MyPart");
// process buffer
(Errai IOC is present on the client side, but is not used. It conflicts with GWTP.)
3. The client-side starts up normally and messages flow. The following is logged to the browser's console:
[errai] wait for: org.jboss.errai.marshalling.client.api.MarshallerFramework
[errai] vote For: org.jboss.errai.marshalling.client.api.MarshallerFramework

[errai] vote For: org.jboss.errai.bus.client.framework.ClientMessageBus
[errai] received final vote for initialization ...
[errai] bus federation complete. now operating normally.
4. After a short while the following appears in the browser's console and the flow of messages stops:
[errai] sending initial handshake to remote bus
[errai] received response from initial handshake.
[errai] remote services available: [...]
[errai] received capabilities notice from server. supported capabilities of remote: LongPollAvailable
[errai] initializing long poll subsystem
[errai] received FinishStateSync message. preparing to bring up the federation
The server side is still broadcasting and calling isSubscribed("MySubject") returns true, however, no messages are received on the client side any longer. There are no errors given to the server-side error handler.
As a workaround, I set up a timer that executes a new subscription on the given subject every few seconds. When a new subscription is executed, the data starts flowing, until the next stop.
In summary, the subscription information remains persistent, but it seems that when the client makes a new long poll, the data is not dispatched into it.
What would you suggest I should look at next? Many thanks!

While this season of Top Chef All Stars had brought us some surprising eliminations (Fabio, Angelo anyone?), the elimination of Dale Talde however seemed to be the most surprising yet as he had performed solidly all season, and won a number of competitions.
In a new interview with TV Guide, the Season 4 alum talks the potato dish that got him eliminated, whether Angelo Sosa was really of help to him, his newer calmer self, plus his opinion on Chicken Oyster-gate.
Excerpts from Dale's interview below –
Did you think you were getting cut after Judges' Table?
Dale: I wasn't confident about my dish. When you don't feel good about your dish, you feel like you have a chance to go home. … I should've asked the judges to wait [for service]. If I literally had five more minutes, [the potatoes] would've been cooked through.
So what happened? You put in a new batch of potatoes?
Dale: I did. We were going to cook à la minute with them, and they came on us a little faster than we thought. I ended up kind of freaking out and serving. … I never thought [about not serving the potatoes]. It was part of the dish. And the croutons were just too mustard-y. Paula Deen is a mayonnaise girl. If you watch her show, she just puts mayonnaise on everything.
How much did Angelo help? It didn't seem to be an advantage to get him since he was just eliminated and is coming off back-to-back seasons.
Dale: He helped me a lot, but I mean, put yourself in his position. Fifty-two straight challenges for that guy. That's crazy. Crazy! I mean, really, it's masochistic. It's like, why put yourself through that again? But he did. Sometimes you have no more gas in tank. … He did [try to talk me up]. He saw me with my head down and he was like, "Dude, you've got to get your head up. Keep your head up, man." He's a buddy of mine. He's my merman. He's helped here at [Buddakan]. He opened the restaurant.
You've been open about taking anger-management classes after Season 4. How important was it for you to come back and show everyone you've changed?
Dale: I came back to compete! [Laughs] One, I love to cook, and two, I love competition. I'm one of those failed athletes by genetics. I'm not an athlete because I'm 5-foot-5 and I'm flat-footed and my ankles are terrible. If I could've been an athlete, I would've tried to, but I love to compete. A lot of it was trying to show people I'm a lot more mature this time around. I didn't like who I was. I didn't like seeing myself like that. You really see yourself in a different light when you're put in front of millions of people. Some people dig it and some are like, "You're kind of a jerk." When your mom is embarrassed of your behavior, it says something. I don't ever want to put my parents in a position where they're embarrassed to see me. … The [fan reaction] has been unbelievable. [The show] really showed me in a great light and I appreciate that.
What's your take on Chicken Oyster-gate?
Dale: You can't patent food, but you also can't straight-up tell people that you ripped this dude's dish off and you won $5,000 and shove it in his face. That sucks. Mike should've told [Richard], "You gave me some inspiration." To be honest, we all [get inspired]. That's why we go out to eat. That's our job. I have to. My owner says, "Dale, you have to eat out twice a week and tell me where you're eating, and it has to be food that's relevant to New York City." I have to take inspiration from that.
Dale also adds that he is currently looking for investors regarding two of his concepts — a Thai/seafood restaurant and a Bodega. As of the moment, he just took a position with a company with Stephen Starr, the culinary director of Buddakan.
Moving on to tonight's all new episode, the five remaining chefs will create food fare on the open water. Later, they will take a journey to Ellis Island to whip up dishes based on their family tree. The new super-sized episode airs on Bravo at 10/9c. A preview clip is below –

money was easy to borrow.
Then came the Internet. When broadband coverage of households began to surge in
2004, advertising began to drift away from newspapers. In just four years, starting
in 2006, the newspaper industry's advertising revenue dropped more than 50
percent, and is still eroding, although the rate of decline has slowed thanks to easy
The drying up of the revenue stream that historically contributed three-quarters of
newspapers' revenue (it's down to about 60 percent now) had a grievous impact on
operating profit margins, dropping them from over 20 percent in the early- to mid-
2000s to around 10 percent today. (Those figures are based on data from publicly
reporting companies as a proxy for the industry.) Not surprisingly, banks are no
longer so eager to finance newspaper purchases.
So where is the money coming from to fund the current wave of acquisitions? And
what do the buyers see that banks apparently do not? Well, it is worth pointing out
that, at the right acquisition price, a 10 percent operating profit margin, or even a
couple of points lower, is not unattractive. Some industries don't hope to achieve 8
to 10 percent margins in the best of times, and here are newspapers reaping them in
what for them has been the worst of times.
Back when newspaper margins were soaring, acquisition prices were also high as
measured by multiples of revenue or cash profit (so-called EBITDA, or earnings
before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization) or average daily circulation unit.
For example, a newspaper's sales price back then might be equal to one-and-a-half
to two times its annual revenue (or 13 to 15 times its annual cash profit), or $1,000
to $1,500 per unit of average daily circulation a week's total circulation divided
by publishing days. These were typical ranges of the multiples back then, although
some individual sales could be higher or lower.
Now that most newspaper profits are down by half or more, it is understandable
that their valuations are likewise down, as are the multiples of revenue, cash
profit and circulation when they are sold. The New York Times Co. recently sold
its Regional Media Group of 14 relatively small dailies and two weeklies for $143
million, which is just over half the group's annual revenue and $368 per average
daily circulation unit.
So who's buying and who's putting up the money? The Times' papers were acquired
by Halifax Media Holdings, a company formed in 2010 by Stephens Media Partners
and two private equity companies to acquire the Daytona Beach News-Journal.
Stephens Capital Partners is part of Stephens Inc., a large financial firm based in
Little Rock that was one of the early non-newspaper investors in the newspaper
business, having taken over the old Donrey newspaper chain in 1993. Many of the
recent newspaper acquisitions the San Diego Union-Tribune, the Chicago Sun-
Times, Minneapolis' Star Tribune, among others involved private
equity investors.
Late last year, Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway bought the Omaha World-
Herald Co., which, in addition to its namesake paper, included six small dailies in
Nebraska and Iowa. The price was $150 million, plus the assumption of $50 million
in debt. This despite the legendary investor's earlier assertion that newspapers
were not attractive investments in the digital era and that he wouldn't buy most of
them "at any price." Indeed, the Omaha deal was a bit of an outlier among current
transactions, since the price amounted to slightly over $1,000 per daily circulation
unit and, in Buffett's words, "certainly is not a bargain." But, he noted, the World-
Herald is solidly profitable. And, of course, it is Buffett's
hometown paper.
What worries me about some of the recent acquisitions (not Buffett's) is that if
newspapers fail to hold their own and their margins continue to decline, these
nontraditional owners could start slashing costs in a misguided attempt to make
their investments pay off. That's a truly bad idea. The principal reason the new
owners bought the papers is the lingering value of their strong newsgathering
franchises, still the most dominant in every market despite rampant layoffs and
downsizing, and still the most crucial asset when it comes to seeking customers
online and on mobile devices.
Lose that and there's nothing left.

HHS Extends Medicare Benefits To Married Same-Sex Couples
On the heels of Thursday's big news from the Treasury Department arrives more big news from the Department of Health & Human Services.
A press release explains:
Today, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) issued a memo clarifying that all beneficiaries in private Medicare plans have access to equal coverage when it comes to care in a nursing home where their spouse lives. This is the first guidance issued by HHS in response to the recent Supreme Court ruling, which held section 3 of the Defense of Marriage Act unconstitutional.
"HHS is working swiftly to implement the Supreme Court's decision and maximize federal recognition of same-sex spouses in HHS programs," said HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius. "Today's announcement is the first of many steps that we will be taking over the coming months to clarify the effects of the Supreme Court's decision and to ensure that gay and lesbian married couples are treated equally under the law."
"Today, Medicare is ensuring that all beneficiaries will have equal access to coverage in a nursing home where their spouse lives, regardless of their sexual orientation," said Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Administrator Marilyn Tavenner. "Prior to this, a beneficiary in a same-sex marriage enrolled in a Medicare Advantage plan did not have equal access to such coverage and, as a result, could have faced time away from his or her spouse or higher costs because of the way that marriage was defined for this purpose."

Linde, Antonius van der (1833-1893)
Antonius van der Linde was born 1833 at Haarlem, Holland and died 1893 at Heidelberg, Germany. He was educated at the expense of the Haarlem Mennonite congregation, of which his parents were members. While he was a schoolteacher he started to study philosophy. At first he was a rationalist, then a follower of Hegel. About 1855 he left the Mennonite Church and joined a strictly orthodox Reformed group who had separated from the main Reformed Church, and served for a short period as a preacher. He soon had left it, and studied philosophy at the University of Göttingen, Germany, obtaining his Ph.D. degree in 1862. Later he was employed in the Royal Prussian Library in Berlin. He wrote a large number of books and papers on very different subjects; for Mennonite history his bibliographical study on David Joris, published at The Hague in 1867, is of interest.

Gradients and Fades
Fade Kit on Dreamy - 5 Pack - Sweet Child O Mine, Fairy Pools, I Heart Daryl, Merry Gentleman, Shamrock
Fade Kit on Dreamy - 5 Pack - Sweet Child O Mine, Fairy Pools, I Heart Daryl, Merry Gentleman, Shamrock
"Fade Kit" includes (1) skein of each of the colors in the photo on the Dreamy yarn base.
Ready to Ship within 3 business days.
For yarn base information, click here.
Each skein is dyed by hand, they are each unique regardless of being the same colorway and name. If you are making a multi-skein item, you will want to alternate skeins.
Tonal colors have light and dark highlights of one color. It is not a solid color. You will see variegation in each skein, light and dark. Some skeins have more light or dark sections. You'll also see some speckling/freckling where the dye concentrates in one area. This is normal, and the look we want for tonals. This will give gorgeous texture to your work.
The photo you see is 1 skein of that color. The skein you receive will not look exactly like this photo, as each skein is unique, but will have the same color/style.
Hand dyed with professional acid dyes. I wash all yarns in water several times to see that the water is running clear. Then they are washed in unscented Eucalan wool wash. Even with this process, you may still get minimal bleeding on the first few washes.
While I try my best to take photos to accurately represent the colors, each computer/mobile device varies in colors, if you have questions about color/photos, please ask.
Dyed and stored in a smoke-free, dog-friendly home.
Care: For best results, hand wash in cold water with an unscented wool wash of your choice. Lay flat to dry.
Detergent: I recommend Eucalan unscented, or another wool-specific unscented wash.

The Americus Times-Recorder
AMERICUS — Mallory Pinnell won't have to go far to play
That's because she will be playing for Brennon Sewell at Georgia Southwestern.
"I'm very excited," said Pinnell, who signed with GSW on Saturday. "I've been looking forward to that day for the longest. "We're all real excited. Now I've got to practice all the time."
Pinnell is the only senior on the Lady Panthers' team this season. Americus-Sumter made the playoffs for just the second time since the merger, and the Lady Panthers won their first region championship and made their first Sweet 16 appearance.
Pinnell was 14-2 on the season, losing her first and last matches of the season.
"My senior year was amazing; tennis was like totally different this year because of how close we were," she said.
Coach Terri Lee said Pinnell's leadership made all the difference with the rest of the team.
"It's been a while since we had a good leader like that," she said. "We knew we had a point for our team when she went on the court most of the time. When she won, it encouraged others to bring a win also.
"She matured with her skills on the court this year and just brought her play to a different level. She helped pushed the other kids on the team, which helped us get better as a whole team."
GSW finished 13-11 this season, its best season in seven years, and the Lady Hurricanes won their first two conference matches since joining the Peach Belt in the 2007 season.
Sewell is excited about adding Pinnell and what she can bring to the table, especially in doubles.
"She brings a really good package," he said. "No. 1, she really loves tennis and is dedicated to the game and improving. Two, for a female she can be aggressive, which is what we are wanting now in tennis players. She's also athletic in the fact that she has foot speed. She has extensive background playing doubles, and I look for her to do really well in doubles for us in the coming years."
Sewell said both the men's and women's teams are now filled completely with a Georgia roster. The Lady Hurricanes are looking to replace their No. 1 and No. 4 singles players. Former Southland Academy standout Mollie McGowan could work her way into the fourth spot, and Pinnell could play for one of the final two spots with incoming freshman from Valdosta High and Oconee High.
"It will probably take her a year to get used to college level tennis," said Sewell. "I expect her to blossom maybe her sophomore year. I like Mallory mainly for her potential."
Pinnell is excited about the opportunity of playing both singles and doubles, as she has played with her dad in doubles tournaments.
"I like playing at the net, but because I've played singles all the time, I'm not used to it, and it will be different," she said. "I have to improve my serve and returning harder balls. The college level girls don't play; they hit hard. They hit as good as the guys at my high school.
"Right now, I'm not expecting to be really good. I'm trying to make myself as good as I possibly can. I'm going to give all I have and just practice a lot."
Americus-Sumter girls assistant Carl Willis said Pinnell is a perfect fit at GSW.
"He expects them to be academically sound and be willing to work hard on the tennis court," he said. "She has shown exceptional playing ability and exceptional leadership qualities, and she was a big part of our success for the region championship."

SYDNEY (AP) — Australian police say a corpse and 200 kilograms (440 pounds) of cocaine were found on a yacht that ran aground in the small Pacific island nation of Tonga.
Australian Federal Police said Friday that they received a tip from the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration in August that a boat carrying the drugs had left Ecuador and was headed to Australia. Officials from the U.S., Australia and the Pacific islands worked together to track down the boat across the vast South Pacific.
They eventually found the yacht shipwrecked on a remote island in Tonga. Police say the drugs stuffed in the hull were worth around 116 million Australian dollars ($120 million).
A man's decomposed body was also found on board. Tonga's coroner is investigating the cause of death.

What to CookWeeknight Cooking
- Jenny
I do not own an iPhone. I have never seen "The Hangover." I am not on Facebook, I have never knowingly listened to a Radiohead song and will do yoga only if forced and even then, refuse to let it relax me. It is not that that I purposely miss out on the things that the rest of the world has long embraced; I just sort of forget to pay attention. Except in the case of food.
So imagine my shock, pique even, to realize that everyone I know was well versed in the goodness of ribollita, and that I, for all these years, had been missing out. "Oh, when you add the bread at the end it's so magical, isn't it?" asked my friend A, when I told her what I was making for dinner. She already knew!
My friend and accomplished Italian cook fisheri grilled me about the recipe, sniffed that it should really be made with chicken stock, and then went on at some length about ribollitas he has known. I felt so left out.
But this is truly a better-late-than-never situation, because this soup is the perfect antidote to the season, which may or may not include soccer games in the driving rain, dogs who have to be coaxed out into the chill, and the unshakable sense as you open the door in the morning that the little gift of an uncommonly warm fall day will come no more.
Is this a weeknight dinner? I think it can be if a meal that takes roughly an hour to put together works for you midweek. For me it was the perfect Saturday night supper, to be consumed with a glass of red wine in front of the fire, topped with some chocolate fudge courtesy of the Incipient while we rummaged through my husband's old yearbooks and made fun of his bangs.
We start at the beautiful beginning with onions and garlic, which, if you like to multi task, you can chop while talking to your colleague on the phone about the people at work whom you both would like to find employment in another state. The chili flakes are optional.
While that's going you chop up your celery and carrot, toss those in, and then get going on your tomatoes. I used a 32-ounce can, which means that I did not add the last cup of water at the end. (Don't worry: I am going to remind you of this later.) Yeah, I crushed them, but maybe not as hard as others do. I grabbed the last of the thyme from my herb garden, now on life support, and supplemented it with the bit of the oregano that was left too. I actually think this made for a slight improvement, but what do I know. Don't forget the potato.
While that is all simmering in the water, wash your kale, pull apart your bread (I had no idea what la domestique meant by four to six slices but I used half of an Italian loaf and a slice of country bread; go ahead, talk about me behind my back) and if you need it, get that last cup of water ready. I probably threw the beans in before ten minutes of kale cooking, because at that point I was getting hungry.
As the bread soaked in, it was indeed such a magical transformation from liquid to hearty that I forgot to add the olive oil at the end. It was delicious anyway: bright, a tiny bit acidic, hearty. I shared it right away. No one should be bereft of ribollita.
Serves 6
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
- 1 onion, chopped
- 1/4 teaspoon crushed red chili pepper flakes
- 1 carrot, chopped
- 1 rib of celery, chopped
- 28 ounces (1 can) plum tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1 potato, peeled and diced
- 1 pound cavolo nero, or any other variety of kale, trimmed and chopped into bite sized pieces
- 15 ounces (1 can) cannellini beans
- 4-6 thick slices of country bread, torn into pieces
- 4 cups water
- Heat olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed soup pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add garlic, onion, and crushed red chili pepper flakes. Sweat the onions until translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Toss in the carrot and celery with a pinch of salt and sweat the vegetables 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, trim the hard stem ends off the tomatoes and discard. Crush the tomatoes with your hands.
- Pour the tomatoes (and their juices) into the pot with the thyme, potato, and 3 cups water. Bring the soup to a simmer, turn the heat down and partially cover with the lid. Keep the soup at a low simmer for about 20 minutes.
- Toss in the kale with another cup of water, a pinch of salt and some freshly ground pepper. Partially cover the pot and simmer for 10 minutes.
- Add the canned beans and continue to simmer the soup 5 more minutes.
- Stir in the bread and serve with a drizzle of spicy Tuscan extra-virgin olive oil. The soup should be thickened by the bread, but not at all dry.

BAMAKO, Mali (AP) — Several thousand people have turned out for a rally in Mali's capital, Bamako, to show support for "the authentic Islam" and to say no to religious extremism.
Saturday's rally took place as the international community considers a possible military intervention in order to flush out the Islamic extremists that seized control of Mali's northern half eight months ago.
The rally is being led by the country's Muslim leaders. They have been joined by political leaders as well as Capt. Amadou Sanogo, who led the April coup which destabilized the country, and created the chaos that allowed al-Qaida-linked militants to take over the north.
Organizer Adama Kone says people gathered "to safeguard the tenets of the authentic Islam ... an Islam that is based on tolerance, peace."

Auckland Vulcans Vs Cronulla Sharks
Mt Smart Stadium #2, Saturday, March 26
Kick-off: 1.00pm (NZST) 11.00am (AEST)
Referee: Craig Pascoe
Summary: The once much maligned Auckland Vulcans have looked anything but early on in the 2011 season, and they will look to make it three straight to start their campaign when they play their first home match of the year against the visiting Cronulla Sharks. The Sharks bounced back after a first up loss to the Jets, with a stirring one point win over the Centurions at Toyota Stadium last weekend thanks to a last minute Tim Smith field goal. The Vulcans were certainly guilty of not respecting the ball and the conditions at Brookvale last Saturday and this is an area that Coach Blackmore would certainly want his side to improve if they are to be legitimate contenders for the 2011 title. The Sharks just need to keep coming together as a unit, and with that, time should come the improved results.
Game Breaker: James Gavet - Gavet is a big as he is strong and opposition defensive lines are well aware of this fact. Much like most of his fellow team mates, Gavet is not afraid to pop a ball once he has penetrated the first line of defence and as a result the likes of Pita Godinet and Johnny Aranga are often found sweating on his runs. If the Sharks are unable to wrap up the ball during his carries, they may find themselves on the back foot more often than not come Saturday.
Prediction: The Vulcans have done enough to register two wins to start the year, but this will be their biggest test to date. If the Vulcans can continue playing with their usual flair and panache but also temper that with more disciplined play when required, they should be too good at home for the Sharks, but if they continue to hand cheap ball over early in the tackle count as they did in patches last week against Manly, the Sharks have more than enough talent at their disposal to make them pay.
Newtown Jets Vs Central Coast Centurions
Henson Park, Saturday, March 26
Kick-off: 3.00pm
Referee: Luke Phillips
Broadcast: NSWRL Match of the Round to be aired on Fox Sports 2 HD and Fox Sports 2, Wednesday, March 30, 4.30pm
Summary: An entertaining clash awaits those in attendance at Henson Park this weekend when the Jets host the Centurions. Last year's clashes between these two sides threw up plenty of points and there is no reason to suggest it won't be the same again here. Kevin Naiqama heads into this one off the back of a three try effort against the Sharks last week while the Jets backline includes names like Pritchard, Carney and Graham. Probably the biggest change for both these sides in the 2011 season is their respective number seven's. Ryan Stig (Centurions) is a Knights junior who headed north of the border for a while but has since seen the light and returned home while Mark Kheirallah (Jets) has looked very comfortable steering his side around the park and his combination with Jonathon Ford is one that has the potential to lead the Jets to a title.
Game Breaker: Daniel Conn - I don't need to tell you too much about Daniel Conn as his talents are well known by all who have seen him with the Bulldogs, Titans and Roosters over the years but what I can tell you is that he has been one of the Jets best in the opening two rounds and is playing like a man that is hell bent on forcing his way back into Brian Smith's top 17

Firefighters sizzle as they sell calendars in the city
GETTING asked to take his shirt off isn't an uncommon thing for Dale Sorensen.
The Gold Coast firefighter has been in Toowoomba selling the now-famous Firefighters Calendars alongside fellow firie and calendar co-ordinator Bruce Mitchell this week.
"We have a lot of fun with it and travel a lot," Mr Mitchell said.
"Plus we've raised a lot of funds for the Children's Health Foundation."
Both said the women were always fun to have a laugh with and heartily supported the cause, even if it did mean sometimes undressing.
Over the years, the calendars have raised more than $750,000 for the foundation, that operates the largest paediatric burns centre in Australasia; the Centre for Children's Burns and Trauma research Centre at the Royal Children's Hospital in Brisbane.
Mr Sorensen has been involved with the calendar for 16 years making him the longest serving firefighter of the fundraiser.
"At that stage I was into my training and saw the application and thought I'd give it a go," Mr Sorensen said.
"Seeing the funds go towards the burns unit is a real eye opener and you realise just how great a job they do there."
The men have been signing calendars and posing for photos at The Coffee Club at Clifford Gardens, where they will remain selling the steamy calendars until the end of today.
Men were not left out this year either with a 2013 Female Firefighters calendar also available.
It's been a number of years since a firefighter from the region was in the calendar so the call is now out for any Toowoomba firefighters to apply for the 2014 calendar.
Details can be found at here.
