On his time as the President of Venezuela, Hugo Chávez's has established a track record of aggressive moves to remedy economic inequality by redistributing the country's considerable oil wealth. Unsurprisingly, this has won him many supporters among the nation's urban poor, perhaps no more so than in the barrios (shantytowns) of Caracas. One of these barrios is named José Félix Ribas; perched on the eastern hillsides of the capital, it is said to be one of the largest altin Latin America. An estimated 120,000 people live here, spread over 96 hectares (237 acres), most of them in rickety houses known as ranchos.
The woman who appeared in failed opposition candidate Manuel Rosales' campaign promoting his main social proposal – the welfare debit card known as Mi Negra – is a local resident. While the opposition's supporters claimed growing discontent with the government, to the expected benefit of Rosales' Un Nuevo Tiempo party, the barrio remained Chávez's heartland in the 2006 presidential elections.
Access to free primary health care and dentistry – through the public health reform program known as Mission Barrio Adentro ("Mission Inside the Barrio") – is one of the most important improvements that the residents of José Félix Ribas say they have experienced under Chávez. Most of the doctors and dentists here are Cubans who have moved to the barrio as part of a deal under which Cuba receives cheap oil from Venezuela.
Many barrio residents get their groceries from the Mercales, government-subsidized shops which sell food – including meat, dairy products, and vegetables – at a considerable discount. Here, a kilo of powdered milk costs just over $2, rather than the $6 price tag found in regular supermarkets.
Food from the Mercales also gets sent to a number of barrio homes in which free meals for up to 150 people are prepared. In these casas de alimentación, small groups of women make lunch and an afternoon snack and pack them into containers for their neighbors. The owner of the house decides the daily menu.
Venezuela is baseball-mad, and José Félix Ribas is no exception. From the age of three, boys start training in "baseball nurseries." For a few, the game can be a way out of poverty, and most people will tell you proudly that there are a hundred Venezuelans playing Major League Baseball in the US.
Dumping is a huge problem in the barrios of Caracas, despite campaigns encouraging people to use the bins provided.
"We have to educate people so they don't just dump their rubbish wherever they feel like it, but it is proving very difficult," says one local leader.
In José Félix Ribas, some neighbors are trying to organize a recycling facility.
If the neighbors want the alleyways that run between their homes to be lit at night, they get together and sort it out. For other projects such as sewers or pavement, they apply for government grants to buy the necessary materials and then do the work themselves.
The stairs that lead to the otherwise inaccessible parts of the barrio have been built by residents, but are often steep, uneven or in bad condition. For older people, children and disabled people, especially for those whose homes are away from the road, it is difficult to get around the barrio.
The people of José Félix Ribas have presented a plan to the government for a cable car that would go from the end of the metro line up into the hills. This, they say while proudly showing off the model they have made, would be a huge boon to their lives. They are confident that their proposal will be approved by Chávez's government, and hope it will enhance safety in the area.
While residents say their lives are slowly getting better, conditions in the barrio are often precarious. Most people here depend on government programs, and many live in very cramped conditions with only basic amenities. Community leaders acknowledge that major problems like crime and the shortage of housing still need to be addressed, but say that for the first time, things are looking up. The president is "working for the people," they say. "We are all missionaries here," one local activist says, in reference to Chávez's social missions.

No one can save you but yourself and this is perhaps more true of the ghettos than of developed suburbia. You have to earn your living to get somewhere and not just receive handouts to get you by. On the other hand it is fairly difficult to be an ambitious entrepeneur when all your energy is taken up by simply keeping yourself clothed and fed.....
Chavez is a fucking professional opportunist, and as every other opportunist, he's fucking up humanity. He comes from a lineage of stupid political thinking. And don't we forget : he comes from the ARMY. fascist!

Is it time to read the comments from the Adbusters Staff before posting? If not, I guess all of the varied criticisms of the article are valid, instead of based on a false premise.
I do, however, have a question:
Adbusters, do you typically operate under this type of constraint? What do you feel it does to your journalistic independance and validity? Could you comment on how common this type of restraint is, and who else you work with?
Predictably hysterical anti-Chavez response to this article. Could it be because the anti-Chavez elite are more likely to enjoy the privilege of internet access than the average slum dweller?

never forget the horable actions of the colonial powers of the past and today, such as US, UK, france and all the other europian colonial powers. people in third world never forget the invations and massaceres by US in Iraq and vietnam and central and south america and middle east. chavez is only one leader representing the poor people of the world oppressed by colonial powers. hopefully there will be many other leaders that stand up and resist the real dictators and tyrants of white house and other colonial powers. 4 million vietnamese and many other thousands and millions of people lost their life and were killed by US.never forget the hidden dictactorship in US imposed by ultra rich.

Its kinda funny when people say democracy is on the edge in America. I totally agree! But remember that the democracy we have here in latin america was based on US democracy, which, in my opinion, is WAY worse than Venezuelas. As for Chavez, I have chosen to support him, though his somewhat autoritary actions. He is doing something no other president in Latin America has done: distributing wealth, instead of giving it to US government. That is enough for me to support him. Come to Brazil and see for yourselfs what it means to have a shitty government.

Hi guys, I'm coming back to Diablo, and having previously owned a Hammerdin and a Fishymancer, I thought I'd give another class a try.
Due to some research, I found out I like the playstyle of both Lightning Sorceress and Javazon.
My question is, which of those will do better in high end content, and MF, specially MF.
I intend in doing Diablo/Baal runs.
Any suggestions/guides you can link would be more than welcome
Thank you for your time

Re: Help me to choose between Light Sorc or Javazon
One question, will you still want to overload mf even after building some "must" expensive runewords like infinity?
Both are extremely effective. Javazon is great in Cows/CS runs and other crowded places, while Light sorc is great virtually everywhere.

Re: Help me to choose between Light Sorc or Javazon
Javazon, easily. There are certain areas of the game where a light sorc will outshine a javazon, true enough, but in those areas a cold sorc would probably do just as well or even better. Where it comes down to it, the javazon is one of the most wonderful defensive characters with some of the best offence in the game. With a nice little defiance merc and a nice stone role for you and the merc you just won't be hit because they have a low chance, then you have max block and you dodge anything that gets through all that. Crazy awesome.
So, in the LI immune areas the Javazon can still easily kill stuff without a 36 point investment in another tree (Orb with some Cold Mastery).

One of the state's largest vegetable farms reached a settlement with former employees who claimed they were discriminated against because of their race or national origin.
Hamilton Growers Inc., which has done business as Southern Valley Fruit and Vegetable Inc., agreed to pay $500,000 in a suit filed by the Equal Employment Opportunity Coalition. Officials said Georgia Legal Services assisted with the lawsuit, which was filed in September of 2011.
The suit claimed the southern Georgia company fired most of its seasonal American workers — many of whom were African-American — between 2009 and 2011 and kept most of its Mexican employees. The lawsuit also alleged that black workers were given fewer hours, were asked to do lower paying jobs and were subjected to racial comments from a manager before they were terminated.
Jon Schwalls, director of operations at Southern Valley Fruit and Vegetable Inc., denied the allegations Thursday and said the company is committed to equal employment opportunities.
"However, due to the significant costs involved in litigation of this nature, we were compelled to resolve the matter," Schwalls said in an email. He declined to comment further on the allegations.
Attorneys for the former farm workers said the case highlights the problem of employers using the H-2A guest worker visa program to avoid hiring American employees. The program was established to allow agricultural employers facing a shortage of willing or qualified American employees to hire temporary foreign workers.
"We hope this case will bring attention to that problem and that we will see Hamilton Growers demonstrate to its neighbors that offering job opportunities to American workers is not only legally required, but also the right thing to do for communities and local economies," said Leah Lotto, of Georgia Legal Services.
Among other things, EEOC officials said the company agreed to hire and retain qualified American and African-American workers for all farm positions — including supervisory roles. Southern Valley officials say the company will also extend rehire offers to workers who were fired between the 2009 and 2012 growing seasons, and will limit contact between American workers and managers who were targeted in the complaints.

Guilty plea entered in case involving threats at Leavenworth Kmart
July 23, 2010
A Leavenworth resident has pleaded guilty to charges related to an incident in which he threatened to kill customers and workers at the Leavenworth Kmart.
Oliver Gillom Jr., 26, pled guilty Wednesday in Leavenworth County District Court to charges of aggravated assault, criminal threat, felony fleeing or attempting to elude a law enforcement officer and criminal use of a firearm, according to County Attorney Todd Thompson's office.
The charges arose from a May 22 incident at Kmart, Thompson's office said, in which Gillom carried a concealed handgun into the store and made statements over the store's intercom that he was going to kill somebody. Further, prosecutors said, Gillom told those in the Kmart that whoever didn't want to die should leave the store.
In addition, prosecutors said, Gillom pointed the gun at two people in the store.
Gillom left the store and was arrested after pursuit by Leavenworth Police.
Gillom's attorney, Debra Snider, told Judge Gunnar Sundby that Gillom disputed pointing the gun at anyone. But Sundby ruled Gillom, by holding a gun and making the statements he did, met the elements for aggravated assault.
At Wednesday's hearing, Assistant County Attorney Michael Jones said that because a firearm was used in the commission of a person felony, there was a presumption of prison time for Gillom.
Sentencing is set for Sept. 8. Gillom remains free on bond.

Severity of Menopausal Hot Flashes Alleviated With Acupuncture
Traditional Chinese acupuncture can alleviate the severity of hot flashes and other symptoms of menopause, according to a study published in Acupuncture in Medicine. The effects did not appear to be directly relatable to hormone levels changes that are responsible for causing menopause and its related symptoms.
The authors based their findings on 53 middle aged women who all fell under category of postmenopausal – they had stopped menstruating for a year. Their somatic (hot flashes), urogenital (vaginal dryness), and psychological (mood swings) symptoms were measured using a 5 point (MRS) scale.
Of the participants, 27 received traditional Chinese acupuncture twice a week for 10 weeks, with needles left in position for 20 minutes without any manual or electrical stimulation. The rest were given placebo acupuncture. Prior to the study, estrogen levels, follicular stimulating hormone, and luteinizing hormone levels were recorded and again after the first and last acupuncture sessions to determine any changes.
The results revealed that those women who received traditional acupuncture had greatly reduced MRS scores for somatic, psychological, but not urogenital, symptoms at the end of the 10 weeks than their peers given the placebo treatment. The symptom that saw the largest decline in severity was that of hot flashes. Furthermore, the effects of the treatments appeared to be cumulative, with stronger results occurring between the first and last sessions.
The researchers also observed a rise in estrogen levels, while luteinizing hormone levels fell in the Chinese acupuncture group. Low levels of estrogen and high luteinizing hormone and follicular stimulating hormone levels are characteristic of menopause, as ovarian function begins to decline.
However, since there were already differences among the groups in these various hormones to start, there was little in the way of additional evidence to indicate that hormonal changes were themselves responsible for any changes in symptom severity, according to the authors.
The authors suggest that the explanation for the reduced severity of hot flashes might be that acupuncture boosts endorphin production, possibly stabilizing the body's internal thermostat. The authors caution that their study was small and they did not monitor long-term symptom relief. However they believe that Chinese acupuncture could be a viable alternative to hormone replacement therapy for women struggling to cope with unpleasant menopause symptoms.

Pittsburgh's Rollicking Jam Band
A strange scene can be found on Wednesdays at the Elks Lodge: tattooed and pierced youngsters join with their nursing home elders for drinks, merriment, and some damn good banjo music.
Shortly before 8 p.m. on a recent Wednesday night, the Elks Lodge 339 in Pittsburgh's North Side underwent its weekly rebirth. Hordes of silver-haired retirement home residents began flooding through the doors, taking their seats at a series of long folding tables set up in rows. Before long, crowds of twentysomethings, tattooed and pierced, sporting hipster fashions and guzzling $2 beers, packed the long rectangular bar in the back until it was standing room only. The crowd was as diverse as it was eclectic—all of them here to see the same Roaring 1920s-style banjo band—and it wasn't long before the generations merged together over drinks and a song.
Jack Fordyce
Every week, the Pittsburgh Banjo Club holds its rehearsals at the Elks Lodge, performing classics like You Are My Sunshine and Yes, I Have No Bananas, drawing hundreds of onlookers, from World War II veterans to college students. The club consists of some 80 banjo players spanning four generations, although about 30 come together on any given night to rehearse for this crowd of lively spectators. Their goal is to revive the 4-string banjo (as opposed to the bluegrass 5-string) and turn younger generations on to the instrument. In the process, they are becoming a "must see" for anyone visiting Pittsburgh, a city that has stayed true to its Rust Belt roots despite a push to modernize in recent years.
"Places like this are not only nostalgic but they are emblematic of cultural institutions in our city," said Jonathan Livingston, 36, a PhD candidate at the University of Pittsburgh and a regular at the Elks Lodge banjo night. "It's one of those environments where young and very old have fun, and as the night progresses, everybody comes together."

Why the Art World Coddles Franco
The art world loves the star attention the actor brings so much so that it accepts his 'art' without much scrutiny. In his new exhibit, though, Franco goes a step too far.
Is James Franco really an artist? He must be, because he just opened a major show at New York's blue chip Pace Gallery, which represents Chuck Close, Maya Lin, and a host of living and dead creative legends.
New Film Still #21, 2013 gelatin silver print 26" x 39-3/4" (66 cm x 101 cm) Edition of 3 (James Franco)
Yet many art world insiders consider actor/serial dilettante Franco's work nothing more than a joke, though few will admit that for the record, and even then, elliptically. A paparazzi-magnet, Franco's presence in myriad exhibitions reflects an insecure art world's seemingly harmless infatuation with celebrity and hunger for validation. In exchange for photo ops with the likes of MoMA PS1 director Klaus Biesenbach—because who outside the art world even knows who that is?—Franco's pratfalls are humored.
The mutually beneficial relationship began around 2010, when Franco, who played a performance artist in a small role on General Hospital, arranged for both the Los Angeles Museum of Contemporary Art and its then-director, Jeffrey Deitch, to make cameos on the soap. Though Franco had made some artworks in the late 2000s, he wasn't embraced by the likes of Alanna Heiss, the founder and former director of P.S.1 Contemporary Art Center, until the summer of 2010, when she curated Franco's first solo show in New York. There was also a stint in a "performance art music-based duo" with legit artist Kalup Linzy, a turn in a group pop-up show called "Rebel," in collaboration with LA MOCA, in which Franco presented what art critic Hunter Drohojowska-Philp called a "chaotic deconstruction" of the film Rebel Without a Cause, a video called "My Own Private River" in collaboration with filmmaker Gus van Sant, a turn in highly legit artist Isaac Julien's lavish film "Playtime," and a so-called gallery exhibition last summer, curated by the genuinely talented Turner Prize-winning artist Douglas Gordon.
America's Best Ballpark Is...
Baseball season is back, which means it's time to take in some home runs and hot dogs. Check out The Daily Beast's ranking of the best Major League Baseball stadiums. Batter up!
Whether you obsessively counted down the days to Spring Training or are one of those one-game-per-summer fans, hot dog season is well upon us. With a long, hot summer of game days ahead, The Daily Beast set out to rank the 30 Major League ballparks. Taking the value of the visit, expert opinion, and the historical value of each park vs. the thrill of brand spanking new amenities into consideration, here is a look at which baseball stadiums you shouldn't miss this season.
To calculate the best ticket value, The Daily Beast turned to Team Marketing's Fan Cost Index (FCI), which represents the average price for a family of four to attend a game. The final value combines the total cost of four non-premium season tickets, two beers, four soft drinks, four hot dogs, parking for one car, two programs or scorecards, and two adult-size hats. Team Marketing determined these costs through standardized telephone interviews with representatives of the teams, venues, and concessionaires.
Saving India's Magician Colony
The directors of the documentary 'Tomorrow We Disappear,' now playing at the Tribeca Film Festival, on India's legendary Kathputli slum, the last home to magicians, acrobats, and puppeteers.
"But no, I must stop all this, and tell the story as simply as possible: while troops chased arrested dragged magicians from their ghetto…while bulldozers moved forwards into the slum, a door was slammed shut…but not all the magicians were captured; not all of them were carted off…and it said that the day after the bulldozing of the magicians' ghetto, a new slum was reported in the heart of the city."
Joshua Cogan
It was these words in Salman Rushdie's Booker Prize-winning Midnight's Children that first brought us to New Delhi's Kathputli Colony, the legendary slum of magicians, acrobats, and puppeteers. Midnight's Children captured the first time the slum was destroyed, in the '70s during Indira Gandhi's Emergency, but like a futile game of whack-a-mole between artists and the government, Kathputli popped up again just a few months later.
In 2008 it was announced once again that Kathputli would face demolition, but this time something was different: in exchange for the sprawling Kathputli land, the government was now offering the artists colony free housing in 20-story high-rises.
Become a Fried Seafood Believer
Like Forrest Gump, South Beach Market prepares their fresh seafood in just about every way possible. But most importantly, eating there will change your mind about fried seafood forever.
If you are dubious about fried seafood—and who isn't?—we recommend a visit to South Beach Market on the Oregon coast where the Yaquina River flows into Yaquina Bay. Here is irrefutable evidence that fresh seafood, fried right, can be among Earth's most scrumptious foodstuffs. Jumbo wild prawns, which really are jumbo, are nothing short of magnificent, offering two levels of crunch: first, the crackle of the garlic-infused tempura-batter crust that surrounds them, and then the dense snap of the pink meat itself. The same great crust can be tasted enveloping cod, salmon, tuna, oysters, calamari, halibut, little baby popcorn shrimp, and clam strips.

As for the chips half of the "fish and chips" dish, the French fries are perfectly decent crinkle-cuts, but we highly recommend paying extra for onion rings. They come as a variegated tangle that includes perfect, evenly battered hoops, frail squiggles of batter that are slightly onion-flavored, and little lengths of limp onion to which only a dab of batter clings. Poking through this crunchy-sweet vegetable mound is edible ecstasy.

Pharrell to Curate Art Show
Organizes feminist show at Galerie Perrotin.
Dedicated to "strong, free women," an upcoming exhibition at the Galerie Perrotin's third Parisian outpost has enlisted a very happy guest curator—singer Pharrell Williams. After successfully organizing last year's This Is Not a Toy exhibition at the Design Exchange in Canada, Williams—who has also designed furniture, collaborated with artist Takashi Murakami, and is an avid collector of art—will present a group of 32 artists, half of whom are women. Borrowing its name from Williams's recently released album, Girl, the show's artists will include Cindy Sherman, Tracey Emin, Guerrilla Girls, and Marina Abramovic and will run from May 27-June 25.

Moby-Dick; or The Whale
The Search for General Tso
A new documentary premiering at the Tribeca Film Festival explores how and why General Tso's chicken became a cultural touchstone.
It's a taste both foreign, and familiar. Chicken is diced into square inches, marinated, and deep-fried in a wok, followed by a quick toss in brown sauce. The sauce is a mélange of flavors—tangy, salty, and sweet—lathered on a crisp shell encasing the warm, tender meat.
General Tso's Chicken (Ian Cheney)
General Tso's Chicken has become a staple of American dining; a dish that, were it not for pizza, could be crowned the most popular ethnic food item in the country. And it's a total cash cow. The dish is carried in most of the 50,000 Chinese restaurants in the United States, produced very cheaply, and sold for about $10 a pop, resulting in billions of dollars in tasty revenue.
Ian Cheney's documentary The Search for General Tso, premiering at the 2014 Tribeca Film Festival, traces the origins of the beloved Chinese food dish, and examines who the hell General Tso is.

Question by alligator 2949 · Jan 17 '13 at 05:52 PM · fruit teeth
I hear a lot that fruit rots your teeth, but, it just doesn't make sense to me. I mean, aren't chimpanzee teeth made of the same material as human teeth? Chimps eat a LOT of fruit, and their teeth don't rot out of their mouths. If fruit does in fact rot human teeth, why does it rot our teeth and not chimpanzee teeth?
Please explain this to me?

Answer by August 12604 · Jan 17 '13 at 06:11 PM
The rate of dental decay seems more dependent on nutrition during their formation than the proximate cause. In other words, if you had crap nutrition when you were a kid, then yes, fruit probably can ruin your teeth.
I am hoping, and think it is reasonable to believe, that future generations won't have to put up with much dentistry at all, assuming paleo/WAPF principles are adopted by the parents of these future generations.
So, should this happen, I don't think fruit will be a problem.
I also think I read somewhere people near the equator have far more enamel on their teeth than folks in more northern climes, which suggests there are differences even among current populations.

Chimps in the wild eat their optimal diet. Humans, for the most part, don't.

I'm not aware of the diet of wild chimpanzees or their rate of dental decay, but for humans, modern super sweet fruits do seem to increase rates of dental decay.
Answer by courtart 377 · Jan 17 '13 at 06:30 PM
Citrus fruits can eat away at your enamel on your teeth due to their acid content, which is your tooth's defence against sugar, plaque causing cavities. Doesn't mean you can't have an orange, but you shouldn't eat a ton of citrus and certainly not drink a lot of citrus juice. And, as always, brush your teeth.
Answer by jake 16 2866 · Jan 17 '13 at 07:08 PM
i don't think fruit rots your teeth. that seems hyperbolic to beat the band. i'm sure a completely fruigivorous diet, as described in denise minger's article, would cause problems. but not a balanced paleo diet, which includes fruit.
Answer by tamir 127 · Jan 17 '13 at 09:08 PM
yes, if you eat too much fruit it may damage your teeth. so you have to eat fruit in moderation, 1-2 servings per day is more than enough.
P.S you can't compare human diet to chimps diet, we are different.
Answer by je 2 1 · Apr 12 '13 at 06:50 AM
I began a fruitarian diet 2 weeks ago it took around 1 week and a fee days and the enamel on the top half of my teeth totally rotted away. It cannot be possible for any other cause because that is all i changed, moreover, i always inspect my pearly white to ensure they are in good shape. The culprite was bananas, although i ate a small amount of dates, i am certain the bananas have an effect on enamel. you may have heard of the old trick use a banana peel to whiten your teeth? im assuming it has a striping type afect. i must be clear, i was NOT eating high citrus fruits, mainly bananas dates and cantaloupes.
I loved the diet, i loveddd the energy!! i wish this didnt happen, becuse now i dont know where to go and what to do!! i just need to find a way to eat fruits without damaging my already TOTALLY EFFED NOW enamel.:(

Amazing photo set, love the tools…
The tools that will be used to service NASA's Hubble Space Telescope on the STS-125 mission are displayed in the NASA News Center at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. At far right is the pistol grip tool. It can install and remove instruments, drive latches and open doors. A self-contained, high-torque drive, the tool features an on-board computer that permits users to tailor its performance to the mission demands. In the foreground are the card extraction and insertion tools to enable removal of electronic cards. At top center is the plastic version of the pistol grip tool used by astronauts during practice in the water tank at NASA's Johnson Space Center. At center left is the bit caddy.

That is just unbelievably cool- who wouldn't want cool space tools? My 5yr old son was thrilled to watch the launch – he's really into astronomy and astronauts right now. I took him to a friend's machine shop the other day and he wanted to know where the space robots were….

Tu 5/4: Scarlett Johansson, Frank Caliendo, Michael Bolton on the THE TONIGHT SHOW WITH JAY LENO, NBC . Scarlett Johansson; Universally known as one of the sexiest women in Hollywood, Scarlett Johansson has actually been acting professionally since the age of eight. A native of New York City, where she was born on November 22, 1984, Johansson was raised — along with her twin brother — as the youngest of four children, and she developed an interest in acting at the age of three. After enrolling in classes at the Lee Strasberg Theatre Institute for Young People, she made her stage debut opposite Ethan Hawke in the off-Broadway production of -Sophistry. Her film debut followed in 1994, when she had a supporting role in North, and she subsequently appeared in the little-seen Just Cause (1995) and If Lucy Fell (1996). Johansson had her first significant screen breakthrough with her role as one of two orphaned teenaged sisters in Manny & Lo (1996), a coming-of-age drama directed by Lisa Krueger. Johansson, who shared the screen with Aleksa Palladino and Mary Kay Place, earned an Independent Spirit Award Best Actress nomination for her work in the film, and she soon found herself being tapped by Robert Redford to star as Kristin Scott Thomas' daughter in The Horse Whisperer (1998). Although the film met with a very mixed reception, Johansson was widely praised for her portrayal of a girl who loses her leg and her best friend in a horrific accident. In 2000, the actress signed on to play one of the heroines (alongside Thora Birch) of Terry Zwigoff's screen adaptation of Ghost World, Daniel Clowes' celebrated comic about the adventures of two teen girls grappling with post-high school life. That same year, she starred in American Rhapsody, in which she portrayed a young girl who escapes communist Hungary in the 1950s and travels to the U.S. Though she would take a brief detour into camp with the 2002 giant spider fiasco Eight Legged Freaks, the respect Johansson had gained in the film industry as a result of her previous dramatic roles found the young actress in high demand among indie directors while quickly catching the eye of the Hollywood elite. With Sofia Coppola's Lost in Translation, Johansson's touching performance as a young girl who strikes a tentative friendship with a washed-up American actor (memorably portrayed by Bill Murray) left no doubts regarding her dramatic skills, and although a Best Actress Oscar nomination eluded her, she received a boatload of nods from critics' groups and the Golden Globes. The rising starlet was soon cast in the lead of such subsequent films as The Girl with the Pearl Earring (2003) and The Perfect Score (2003). After sticking to form in 2004 with roles in In Good Company and A Love Song for Bobby Long, Johansson took her first stab at a lead role in a big budget Hollywood flick, starring opposite Ewan MacGregor in Michael Bay's futuristic actioner The Island. While the picture was panned by critics and avoided by audiences, it did nothing to slow the young star down. She closed out the year by receiving virtually unanimous praise for her performance in Woody Allen's Match Point. She immediately reteamed with Allen, who was full of praise for the young actress after their first collaboration, for the supernatural comedy/murder mystery Scoop in 2006. That same year she played a pivotal role in Robert De Palma's adaptation of The Black Dahlia, while also filming an adaptation of The Nanny Diaries with Laura Linney and Paul Giamatti.
Suddenly she's everywhere: Performing on "Gossip Girl." Writing a song for Michael Bolton. Immolating a polar bear in the "Bad Romance" video. Unburdened by fears of overexposure, or pants, Lady Gaga is pop's newest shiny thing, a real-life kewpie doll weaned on a steady diet of Wagner and Ecstasy. You have to hand it to Lady Gaga: She wasn't really a superstar until she started acting (and Continue reading →
Having already conquered the Billboard albums chart, the fashion world and Israel's obscenity laws, Lady Gaga has reportedly set her sights on dominating the buttoned-up world of adult contemporary. She's written songs with none other than Michael Bolton. In an interview with London's Metro newspaper, the 56-year-old Bolton — best known for his (formerly} flowing locks and husky takes on songs like "When a Man Loves a Woman" and "How Am I Supposed to Live Without You" — said he has been working with Gaga on his upcoming album, One World One Love. The collaboration actually happened before Gaga went supernova — and it was apparently all her idea. "I was taking a break from production when my manager and the label tag-teamed me on the phone about writing with a young artist named Lady Gaga who I had never heard of — but they were raving about," Bolton told the paper. "They said that she was a huge fan of mine and wanted to write with me. No one I knew had heard of her … but less than a minute into 'Just Dance,' I thought, 'This CD is gonna be huge!' " So Bolton agreed to work with Gaga, and when the two finally met, he was taken by her energy and commitment … and realized right away that she was destined for greatness. "When I met her in the studio later that night, I realized she was not only about to have a big hit record, but Gaga was a superstar about to launch. … Her energy was so high and her focus excited me," Bolton continued. "She reminded me of a young Madonna, with more exuberance and emphasis on the art rather than the marketing." The Metro article does not mention the name of the song or songs that Gaga and Bolton collaborated on, but over the weekend, a track called "Murder My Heart" leaked, and apparently it's the fruit of the duo's labor (it's definitely Bolton, and we think we hear Gaga on the backing track). Attempting to verify that fact, MTV News reached out to reps for both artists, but at press time, we had yet to receive a response. According to Bolton's Web site, One World One Love is due September 21.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Intel's march continues. The world's largest chipmaker has announced its 366MHz mobile Celeron processor and two new mobile chip sets: the 440MX and the 440ZX.
According to Intel's in-house benchmarks, the performance increase between the Celeron 333MHz and 366MHz is in line with previous speed jumps.
Light on features and low on price, Intel's new chip sets target budget-notebook users. The 440MX, Intel's cheapest mobile chip set, does not support Accelerated Graphics Port technology. Designed for mininotebooks, the 440MX integrates audio and modem functions. The 440ZX is Intel's first low-end mobile chip set with AGP support.
In addition, Intel's 366MHz mobile Celeron chip introduces the Micro Pin Grid Array, a new processor format for Celeron and Pentium II CPUs running at 266MHz and faster. The Micro PGA lets vendors use a single motherboard design for a variety of chip speeds. This streamlining can reduce inventory costs and expedite the "build-to-order" process.
Intel's new Celeron chip also features Quickstart technology, which improves battery life by reducing processor power to 0.4 watts when a machine is idle. "Our Quickstart technology will actually power [a system] down between keystrokes," says Charlie Carey, Intel's mobile marketing manager.
Due in the second half of 1999, Intel's Geyserville technology will go further to boost notebook performance by reducing voltage. "Geyserville will allow Intel to achieve desktop-equivalent speeds in our notebook line," Carey says.
"Geyserville can determine whether your notebook is running from a battery or plugged into a wall socket, and adjust the voltage accordingly," Carey adds. Intel claims Geyserville will deliver 80 per cent of a system's performance using only 50 per cent of the voltage.
Last month, Advanced Micro Devices shipped its 380MHz mobile K6-2 processor, giving Intel a new speed target. The mobile AMD K6-2 processors come with the largest available L2 cache and offer 2X AGP graphics.
Intel responded by launching a mobile chip campaign, beginning with the release of the 333MHz Celeron. Intel expects to ship a 400MHz mobile Celeron in June.
Intel also plans to ship mobile Pentium III processors running at 600MHz and faster later this year. Using Geyserville technology and built on a 0.18-micron process, the PIII mobile family will blur the line between power notebook and desktop performance.
First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Network World - Microsoft Exchange e-mail systems have emerged as the de facto communication and collaboration tool for today's organizations. However, keeping Exchange running smoothly can be a headache, especially when capacity needs and performance requirements conflict. Here are five capacity planning best practices for optimizing the performance of your Exchange infrastructure.
* Database and storage sizing: It is critical to start with an assessment of whether you have enough space to store all the data. If a database logical number unit (LUN) runs out of space, the connected databases will "dismount". Generally speaking, running out of disk space will result in an e-mail service interruption that exceeds most organizations' recovery time objectives.
Next, limit the amount of data users are allowed to store in their mailboxes. This helps to determine how many users each server can support. Without mailbox space limits, it is difficult to estimate capacity requirements. As users approach their mailbox quota, an equivalent amount of mail must be deleted. This forces growth to be split between the database dumpster and the mailbox.
Another important consideration is controlling database whitespace. Having 50% or more of whitespace will significantly slow down performance, but it's not a problem when users are not near their mailbox quotas. To keep whitespace from growing beyond appropriate limits, online maintenance must be able to complete a full pass at least once per week. To accomplish this, enough time must be allocated to enable online maintenance to run nightly.
While smaller databases are quicker to back up and restore than large databases, you can minimize the complexity of the latter by limiting the number of databases and LUNs to manage. Exchange 2007 can support a maximum of 50 databases per server, and Microsoft recommends 200GB for each database. However, since 200GB databases can be unwieldy and difficult to manage, using 100GB databases with continuous replication is a better option.
* Planning for backup and restore: To limit data loss, it is best to perform a full online backup every day. With Exchange 2007, administrators can perform a streaming online backup to a disk or use the Volume ShadowCopy Service. Because streaming online backup requires high throughput to copy data to/from LUNs, it often requires very fast hardware to complete a backup within a few hours. So while streaming backup is feasible, using the Volume ShadowCopy Service (VSS) for backing up Exchange is more practical.
The VSS is used by Exchange 2007 to make volume shadow copies of databases and transaction log files. It can take snapshots of either the production copy or the passive copy. Taking VSS snapshots of the passive copy minimizes the load on the production LUN during checksum integrity as well as the subsequent copying to tape or to disk. This frees up time on the production LUNs to run online maintenance or do other tasks.
Microsoft System Center Data Protection Manager (DPM) is an alternative backup solution that works well with Exchange 2007. DPM can either save a VSS copy of data immediately, or manually copy data to DPM volumes. Once DPM has synchronized the entire Exchange database and transaction logs, it can make an "Express Full" backup that updates only the changes. This results in a much faster backup that is as reliable as a classic full backup.

Tips from Toby: Dealing with unhealthy clay soil
Many of us are thinking about our lawns right now and that's good. But what we really need to be thinking about is our soil. And that's better!
Most of our lawns have been covered by snow the past month or so, but that soil down underneath is one of the primary things that makes our lawn a success or failure.
There's a reason why part of Missouri is named "Clay County" and that's because we have such an abundance of heavy clay soils in our region. Clay soil is not conducive for lawn and plant growth so we need to make that unhealthy clay soil healthy rich topsoil!
For over 20 years I've been recommending a locally made product called Earth Right, and we've had tremendous success with every lawn we've ever used it on.
Earth Right helps break down the heavy clay soils and helps transform them into rich topsoil over a relatively short amount of time. Earth Right feeds the soil and gets it healthier which means your grass can have deeper roots and survive the stress of summer better.
You can buy Earth Right in an easy hose end spray bottle and your apply it at double the rate the first time in the Spring and then again at regular rate in the Fall.
Earth Right is especially beneficial for those areas of your lawn that don't drain or puddle all the time.
Using Earth Right along with proper watering, fertilization, and mowing are the keys to a great lawn. Get your soil healthy and you will see great benefits on every aspect of your lawn this season. And best of all, Earth Right is easy!
This really is a miracle product. Your first application should be double rate then every Spring and Every Fall the normal application rate. We'll see you next week!

Your new tattoo will have a light coating of petroleum jelly on it and may be temporarily bandaged to keep it from bleeding or oozing onto you, your clothes, your car, or people. It will also help to seal the tattoo and keep it clean until you can remove the bandage. You can remove the bandage at any time, as long as you have access to clean water and tissues or paper towels or a shower or some other way to wash it, as it will be messy when the bandage is removed. The bandage should immediately be disposed of in an appropriate way, as it is contaminated with your blood. It is recommended that ice be put on a fresh large tattoo to keep the swelling down.
You can wash the tattoo with soap and water as often as you want. You do not have to treat the tattoo with ointment. It will heal. Ointment does not make a difference in the long term color or quality of a tattoo. People like to use ointment so that the tattoo heals softly and smoothly instead of like a scab, which can be crunchy and unsightly for a week or two. People also want to use ointment to make them feel more comfortable during the healing process. The only ointment that we have found to be fairly safe to use is Ink Fixx, and even some people will get a problematic "classic ointment reaction" to it, but it is extrememly rare. We usually carry the Ink Fixx. Hand or skin lotions are ok to use after the skin has sealed over. They are not good to use while the skin is still open because they sting and cause trauma.
Ointments often cause problems. We strongly recommend that you DO NOT use greasy ointments that contain Petroleum Jelly, or preparations such as A&D ointment, Aquaphor, Triple Antibiotic ointment, Neosporin, other kinds of antibiotic ointments or Tattoo Goo. If you use these ointments and develop a rash or a problem with your tattoo-- you do it at your own risk and against our recommendation.
Antibiotics and antibiotic ointments are used to treat an active infection. Tattoos that become infected are very rare, but do happen occasionally. The infections are not from our needles, they tend to come from bacteria that is picked up on the skin after the tattoo is applied. NJ law requires us to describe the signs and symptoms of an infection, therefore: The signs or symptoms of an infection may include excessive soreness, abnormal swelling, redness or heat, accompanied by pus or a foul smelling odor coming from a wound. A red line under the skin that appears to travel from the tattoo needs immediate medical treatment.
You can go swimming in a pool or in the ocean. Swimming or bathing does not hurt the tattoo. Sunburn or contaminated water , or super bleached water (like in a public hot tub) may hurt the tattoo. Tanning will not be good on the site of the tattoo during the healing phase, and we suggest suntan lotion over bright tattoos to preserve their color. Going to the gym is OK, but protect your tattoo from the gym equipment and germs.
Problem areas of the body (for healing) are where it creases or bends or rubs on itself or on clothes ( like a bra-strap or belt). The inside top of the lower fore-arm can be aggravated by pressing against the biceps while sleeping. The backs of the forearms can pick up a lot of germs by clients that work or spend a lot of time leaning across a counter. Efforts should be made to prevent the tattoo from being aggravated.
If you think you are having a problem, feel free to call us or come in to show us. If it is a serious problem, we recommend that you see a doctor. If you do not have a doctor and would like to be referred to a doctor that will see you, please let us know and we will try to make arrangements for you to see a doctor at your own expense.

Hyderabad, Nov. 27: Cadbury India, part of global giant Mondelez International, plans to set up a chocolate manufacturing unit at the Sricity special economic zone in Chittoor district of Andhra Pradesh.
The company today signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the state to set up a plant on 134 acres in four phases.
Set to be Cadbury's largest manufacturing facility in the Asia-Pacific region, the first phase of the project will become operational by 2015 at an investment of Rs 1,000 crore and produce about one lakh tonnes of chocolates, the company's managing director Manu Anand said.
The plant will have an overall production capacity of 2.5 lakh tonnes per annum by 2020.
"In the first phase we will produce chocolates and other products in the subsequent phases. All these products will be for domestic consumption only, but a small portion could also be exported," Anand said.
Cadbury already has plants in Himachal Pradesh, Maharashtra, Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh and Andhra Pradesh. It operates in five categories — chocolate confectionery, beverages, biscuits, gum and candy.
Anand, who is also the president of Mondelez International (India and South Asia), today signed the MoU with the state in the presence of Andhra Pradesh chief minister N. Kiran Kumar Reddy, major industries minister J. Geeta Reddy and industries principal secretary K. Pradeep Chandra.
The chief minister said the Cadbury facility would not only provide direct employment to 1,600 people but also help over 4.5 lakh dairy farmers in the Chittoor district
"Cadbury requires about five lakh litres of milk and 100 tonnes of sugar per day for its first phase of operations. This will give a big boost to the local farmers and help the dairy sector in the district, besides helping the sugar industry to grow," Reddy said.
The chief minister also laid the foundation stone for the manufacturing facility today.

When I first started entering sweepstakes, I entered every contest I was eligible to win. The result? I won a lot of junk, and I wasted time that could be spent entering for prizes I really want. For more information about why I think this strategy is a bad idea, see It Pays to Be Picky Entering Sweepstakes.
Now I'm a lot choosier about the sweepstakes I enter. Here are 5 reasons to think twice before entering sweepstakes.
1. You're Not Eligible to Win
When the prizes are so alluring, it's tempting to try to enter sweepstakes you're not eligible to win. So a sweep is only open to business owners, or diabetics, or people under 13 - maybe the sponsors won't notice, right?
But please, avoid sweepstakes you're ineligible to win. Sponsors do due diligence, and it's heartbreaking to be notified that you've won a fantastic prize, only to have it pulled away when the sponsors realize you are ineligible.
Plus it's bad karma. When it's your turn to enter restricted sweepstakes, do you really want your odds to be lower because others break the rules?
2. You Can't Travel on the Specified Dates
If you're about to enter vacation sweepstakes, take a moment to stop and check the rules to see if the sponsor has specified when travel has to take place.
Sometimes, the travel dates are very soon after the sweepstakes ends. Other times, the trip has to be taken over major holidays or other dates that might just not be convenient for you. If you need a lot of lead time to take time off of work, or you can't imagine being away from your family on Christmas, avoid sweepstakes that would require you to travel on those dates.
3. The Taxes are Too High
High-value prizes are a real charge to win, but remember that you're going to be paying sweepstakes taxes on your prizes - and sometimes, it's just not worth it.
Remember that the rule of thumb is that you'll be paying about 1/3 of the prize value in taxes (your individual tax situation will determine the exact amount. Speak with a tax consultant for a more exact number). So if you win, say, a $90,000 vacation, you can expect to pay somewhere around $30,000 in taxes next year. Is it worth it to you? Think about it before entering.
Of course, there are ways of handling taxes, too. For more information, see How to Dispute an ARV on Your Taxes and How to Afford Taxes on Car Prizes.
4. You Can't Really Use the Prize
Sure, a win is a win, but entering sweepstakes that offered prizes I didn't really want or need resulted in a lot of junk around the house and a lot of wasted time on my part. Sometimes you can sell the prizes, but that's an investment of time and effort, which could be spent trying to win prizes you really do want. So I recommend skipping the sweepstakes that don't have prizes that you want, or that you can give away, or that you can sell easily.
Of course, there's always the chance that you'll win a prize you don't really need (in which case, check out my article, How to Find Homes for Unwanted Prizes), but at least some of the prizes should be really attractive to you if you want to spend your time wisely.
5. Prize-Related Expenses Would Be Too High
Even when the prizes are free, sometimes they come with related expenses that can add up. For example, if you win a vacation that includes airfare and a hotel, you'll still need to pay for meals, activities, tips, etc. out of pocket.
That's why it's a good idea to read the prize descriptions carefully to determine whether there are related expenses that could add up.
6. Conclusion
If you do win a prize that you can't use or don't want, you can turn it down when the sponsor contacts you. Sometimes you'll win a grand prize when you were really hoping to win one of the many smaller prizes, or your situation changes between the time you enter and the time you receive the prize - and there's nothing wrong with that.
However, taking a few seconds to really read the prizes and determine whether a sweep is worthwhile to enter saves your time and the sponsors'. This is both considerate and helps you win more of the prizes you really want. Read Why It Pays to Be Picky to find out more about why it makes good sense to avoid sweepstakes with prizes you don't really want to win.

"These cards turned out really well. The quality of the paper was very substantial. They came in quickly! We are very pleased and will order again soon."
"I love the way these turned out. simple, clear, easy to read. I was a bit nervous as one review I saw said there was a problem with the envelopes. Mine were fine. I got the rectangular style and the cards fit perfect. I have gotten several compliments on the cards."
"Tiny Prints was easy to navigate as a web site. I was able to design my card easily and save it while I was away from my computer. Once I'd completed the design it was easy to order and the product was at my home even before the date they promised delivery. I wil definitely use Tiny Prints again. Thanks!"
"The quality and design of this greeting was excellent. It doubled as our holiday card and moving announcement. The card was tasteful, classy and even nicer in person. We received several compliments on the card and there was a great amount of space on the back to include a customized holiday message."
"To those with discriminating taste or the love of an outstanding quality rich paper product, this is the product to purchase. The postcard comes as a rich matte black. Very impressive! I have purchased many items from Tiny Prints and never once been disappointed. Upon receiving this postcard, I realized why I shop here – I know that I am getting THE best! And as self-appointed royalty, wouldn't I know?"

Tensions over the future of Culver's EMS flared during last week's Culver town council meeting, where council member Bill Githens and current EMS director Brandon Cooper debated Githens' approach to seeking information on the service's future plans.
The discussion began near the end of the Oct. 22 council meeting, when Githens told fellow council members he had placed copies of a letter he wrote in their -- as well as Union Township trustee Jerry Greeson's --message boxes, "so nothing (I say) gets misconstrued."
The letter, which Githens shared with The Culver Citizen, said:
Culver Elementary School has announced its A/B honor roll for the first grading period.
Editor's note: When the Citizen requested local ghost stories from readers, Culver Academies fine arts instructor Robert Nowalk responded with the following spooky tale.
The Culver Lions Club's annual children's Halloween party will return Tuesday, Oct. 29, from 6 to 8 p.m. (registration starts at 5 p.m.), at the Culver Elementary School gym. Costume judging starts at 6 p.m. and awards are presented at 6:35 p.m. Games start around 7 p.m., with assistance from the Culver Youth Community Organization (CYCO).
Culver resident and insurance agent Don Kline -- whose wife Janet introduced him noting he's been in the business for 45 years and has currently around 1,000 clients -- stopped by Culver's weekly Kiwanis Club meeting last Thursday to help his audience navigate how the Affordable Care Act will affect senior insurance costs in the near future.
Kline began by pointing out the legislation, popularly known as "Obamacare," will affect those under 65 far more than seniors, but will indirectly affect everyone on Medicare due in part to reduced funding for Medicare.
Rhythmic Circus, a theatrical combination of live music and dance, will hit the stage of Culver Academies' Eppley Auditorium on Weds., Nov. 6, starting at 7:30 p.m., as part the ongoing Huffington Concert series at the school.
After years of selling out venues on its national tour, the Feet Don't Fail Me Now show continues its rise from an underground percussive dance phenomenon to one of the most popular tap shows since Tap Dogs.
Culver's parks and recreation board, having met once each week for three consecutive weeks now, finally reached a consensus (and a quorum) regarding removal of a controversial public pier which was installed last spring.
The Oct. 16 meeting followed up on an attempt at a meeting Oct. 2 at which the six-person board failed to attain a quorum (in the absence of members Ed Behnke, Leroy Bean, and Kathy Hart), and an Oct. 9 meeting where the four members needed for an official meeting were present.
"Culver History Corner" is a semi-regular feature sponsored by the Antiquarian and Historical Society of Culver (http://www.culverahs.com), whose quarterly newsletter is also sponsored in The Culver Citizen.
In this week's installment of our ongoing virtual "walks" through buildings of significance in Culver, we stroll into a building into which many a Culverite has strolled on many an occasion 00 though not, most of us, for a few years now.
The new owners of the building at 120 S. Main Street, which will cease to be home to Culver's hardware store after the end of this month, say they hope to enhance Culver's downtown business offerings in the space.
Editor's note: The first annual Culver Fall Festival will take place this weekend throughout Culver, as detailed in the Sept. 26 edition of The Culver Citizen. For a complete schedule of adult, family, and children's oriented events scheduled as part of the festival, visit www.culverchamber.com.
